NEWS: MALO PUTS ON A CLINIC IN THE PRONE FOILING EVENT
Malo takes the win in the prone foiling event organized by the Wing Foil Tour in Morocco. The show...
The most rigid and reliable full carbon mast.
This new high modulus and prepreg full carbon mast is essential in the quiver of a demanding rider. The 77 cm HM mast is dedicated to high performance surf foiling or SUP foiling use,but also downwinders and dock starts, or even wing foiling.
On this mast you can carve much harder than with the 70 cm without breaching, even on a large front wing.
Absolutely perfect for hollow waves on which its length can absorb the steepness without getting overwhelmed or flirting dangerously with the surface.
More generally, it is essential in any situations where you need a margin, starting with the whitewater at the exit of the wave and when pumping. Of course you need a little more water to take off and the rail to rail will be less incisive than with the 70 cm, but the additional 7 cm can bring that little something that separates a frustrating touchdown from a crazy maneuver.
This length also translates to a better pop thanks to the amplitude of the resource: ideal for back flips! The difference in projection in the air is phenomenal.
On a downwinder with a poorly formed swell and a large front wing, the extra 7 cm mean more margin for errors and less sneaky ventilation. You gain serenity when flying with the 77 HM without having to settle for the less playful rail to rail of an 85cm mast.
77 cm is also ideal for dock starts from high pontoons or if you want your run to last. We clearly feel the benefits of this additional margin.
The 77 cm allows an optimal amplitude for pumping. We are going to multiply the movement. You can decrease the frequency while going faster. But this isn’t 85 cm though as we keep the nervousness of a short mast if we want to pick up the pace.
The 77cm length is ideal for use in surf foiling or SUP foiling. It is the perfect length for take off, aggressive curves in the waves and absolute rigidity.
In pumping, the rigidity gain is close to 30% compared to a classic mast. It is very effective because we do not lose energy in imbalances and faults due to flexibility. It’s so mind-blowing that you have to actually test it to believe it. And this is even truer with high aspect wings which put a lot of effort on the mast.
Note: The fuselage is sold separately from the HM mast.
Your benefits are clear:
Technical sheet
Buying guide
It is the mast for the most demanding, for meticulous users, for fine technicians, because it is the very best.
This mast is intended for experienced riders. We therefore invite you to take the greatest care of it and not to equip yourself with it if you are a beginner.
The length of 77cm is intended primarily for surf foiling and SUP foiling, it offers an ideal pumping amplitude, a lot of pop thanks to a longer resource and more aggressive curves without breaching.
It is also perfect for dock starting from a high pontoon and its dynamic qualities offer super efficient pumping.
It will also be very suitable for downwinders in small conditions which require being very high on the foil, especially since its rigidity allows the use of a large front wing.

The 77cm:

This mast is suitable for all wings but we recommend mounting “high performance” wings on it to get the best out of it.
For GONG foils, place the plate in the rear third in surf, SUP and kite foiling, and in the middle of the US rails for wing foiling.
The more you move it forward, the more it makes the board pitch up. The further you move it backwards, the more the nose of the board dives.
Be careful not to move it too far forward. We often tend to forget to use the back foot, especially when we have a kite foil background. However, moving the foil back a little forces you to put more weight on the back foot and gives a more harmonious attitude and reduces effort.

Tout savoir sur le GONG FOIL ALLVATOR CARBON MAST HM 77cm
La pratique du foil comporte des risques d’accidents importants. Une mauvaise maitrise du foil peut engendrer des coupures, des blessures graves, voir la mort, pour vous ou autrui.
Le foil doit être pratiqué en prenant toutes les précautions d’usage en kite majorées de celles liées au foil. Rappelons que le foil est long, tranchant, et peut atteindre des vitesses élevées. Se faire percuter par un foil, ou percuter un tiers peut avoir des conséquences dramatiques.
Foilez toujours loin des autres, dans des plans d’eau sécurisants et sans obstacle.
Le foil se pratique majoritairement dans le vent léger. Celui-ci peut tomber et vous contraindre à rentrer à la nage. En conséquence ne surestimez pas vos forces : n’allez jamais plus loin que ce que vous pouvez faire à la nage dans les conditions présentes et annoncées.
Portez un casque et une veste de protection assurant votre flottabilité. Portez toujours une combinaison en néoprène intégrale.
Lorsque vous manipulez le foil, faites attention de ne pas vous couper sur les bords de fuite.
GONG décline toute responsabilité en cas d’accident impliquant un foil GONG. La pratique du Foil se fait sous l’entière responsabilité de l’utilisateur foil.
