Choosing an aluminium, carbon or hm carbon mast
Much more than just a link between your board and the plane of your foil, the mast plays a huge...
The short mast for starting with confidence or foiling in shallow waters, whether in surf, SUP, or wing.
The 55 cm V3 aluminum mast is perfect for your first hours in the world of foiling.
Its reduced length limits the lever arm, making it easier to balance and control while getting started with surf foiling, wake foiling, SUP foiling, or winging. This mast allows you to discover the basics without the stress of being dragged by a too-powerful foil.
It also facilitates practice in shallow waters on certain spots.
Available in two thicknesses:
• 17 mm: perfect for front wings under 100 cm wingspan, providing excellent glide and optimal rigidity.
• 19 mm: provides extra rigidity for larger front wings over 100 cm wingspan, ensuring maximum stability.
The high-quality aluminum construction is particularly stiff and durable. It offers excellent value for money, making this Alu V3 mast a benchmark in the world of foil.
The new profile of the Alu V3 masts, developed by our R&D, offers remarkable glide with performance close to the best carbon masts of equivalent thickness. You will never feel limited by the glide of this profile. It is smooth and perfectly fluid.
A wise choice to start without the usual challenges of foiling.
The 17 mm mast profile has been completely redesigned to optimize glide while maintaining excellent rigidity. The positioning of the screws, reinforcements, and each cutout is a clever combination that ensures good power transmission, controlled flex and twist, and a feeling of lightness on the water.
The brand-new 19 mm profile offers a practical and economical solution for activities like dockstart or pumping with large wingspans. It's not just a widened version of the 17 mm mast, but a profile in its own right that meets a specific set of requirements: ensuring greater rigidity while keeping exceptional glide for demanding disciplines.
