AXIS PRO - Ultra High Modulus Carbon Masts
The Dogleg
Unlocking a New Level of Performance with the AXIS PRO Ultra High Modulus Mast
In the world of foiling, every component matters, but none more so than the mast—it’s the critical link between you and the foil. The new AXIS PRO – Ultra High Modulus Carbon mast, affectionately nicknamed the “dogleg” by our test team, is a game-changer. It’s not just an incremental improvement; it’s a radical departure from conventional mast design that redefines what’s possible on the water.
Building on the impressive stiffness of our existing carbon mast program, the new PRO – Ultra High Modulus Carbon delivers an unbelievable 55% increase in stiffness and incredible torsional rigidity compared to our standard alloy mast. This level of stiffness means a more direct, responsive, and efficient connection to your foil, so every bit of energy you put in is translated into pure performance.
Designed for Speed and Freedom
The performance of this mast goes far beyond just stiffness. It features a thinner and narrower profile, with a radical new foil section that sets it apart from anything else on the market. Unlike conventional masts that can feel “locked in” at high speeds, the PRO Mast’s unique design has its widest point moved back, allowing for freer turning at any speed. Our modeling predicted a 20% reduction in drag, and the real-world experience is a slippery, responsive ride that lets you go faster and turn more precisely than ever before.
As the name implies, the PRO – Ultra High Modulus Carbon is constructed from military-grade materials, which, while raising the cost of production, deliver the ultimate ride. Every mast comes in a custom high-quality protective bag to ensure it stays in pristine condition.
The Ultimate Upgrade
The PRO – Ultra High Modulus Carbon mast has wowed every team rider who has tried it, and its performance has been proven in competition, helping secure gold medals in Downwind competitions in Hawaii and France.
Available in three sizes (800mm, 900mm, and 1050mm), this mast is completely compatible with all AXIS products. By simply swapping to the PRO – Ultra High Modulus Carbon, you can elevate your existing AXIS foils and take your foiling experience to the next level.
