DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Performance and Drag Reduction
The Performance Mast was designed to minimize drag and maximize stiffness. On the water, that means better tracking and a higher top speed. You'll feel a more efficient glide, which helps you build and hold onto speed with stability.
Stiffness and Responsiveness
The advanced composite construction delivers the stiffness needed for incredibly precise foil control. The mast gives you instant feedback when you apply or shift pressure, making transitions and aggressive maneuvers easier.
A+ System Connection for a Solid Attachment
The 360° HEX connection system increases the contact area with the fuselage for better load distribution. Out on the water, this gives you a solid and secure feel, especially when pushing the gear at high speed.
Designed and Tested in Real-World Conditions
Developed with America's Cup engineers and proven over more than 100 prototypes, this mast has been through extensive testing. You get a battle-tested product, built to handle the high demands of wingfoil and surf foil.
Versatile Performance
The Performance Mast is adaptable to different foiling styles, from wingfoil to surf foil. You can pair it with a variety of fuselages and wings to focus on either speed or maneuverability, depending on your chosen discipline.
Smart Design and Finish
The mast features a practical mounting system that ensures a solid yet lightweight connection. The finish and fiber layup have been fine-tuned to offer a great balance of strength and hydrodynamic performance.
