"My goal in designing the progression mast was to create the ultimate surf mast. Flex is the enemy of response, both in surfing and pumping, so we've made the mast a touch thicker at the fuse connection, increasing stiffness. It may be a surprise to hear its a touch thicker than the Katana, and in theory, slower, but in practice the added stiffness is allowing us to fly higher on the mast, longer, reducing the wetted area, and gaining efficiency." "This results in a more efficient pump thorough a reduction in drag. While riding a larger wing, or being a heavier rider, the benefits of reducing mast flex is immediately felt in overall control of the foil. The leading edge of the mast is vertical, and the bottom 40% does not taper, so you have an incredibly reliable foil section in the water during turns, creating consistent and confident movement." We've found we can push harder through our turns with increased flow. The mast is 800mm, which is my favorite length for prone, tow and downwind. The baseplate has been redesigned completely compared to the Katana. The bolts are set closer which allows for more forwards placement in the tracks. 1.2 inches in mast position is gained. The baseplate is tapered at the mast connection, additionally reducing initial drag on takeoffs or touchdowns. Since riding the Progression 800 mast, it's all I want to ride now." Erik Antonson

Our new aluminium mast provides riders a super stiff & high performance mast at a competitive price point. The result of many years of testing, we have created a more affordable mast that still unlocks the high performance of our wings. It’s a hydrodynamically efficient mast that is lightweight and stiff with minimal drag. Careful finite element analysis (FEA) along with structural reinforcements make our mast the best value on the market.

Features:

• Extruded with precision
• Stainless steel inserts for added strength
• Profile refined: maximum thickness moved backwards for speed
• Base plate is slotted and has extra holes for multiple setup options. 
• Works with either countersunk or wingnut bolts.
• Comes with 4 x M8 stainless steel bolts for fuse and base plate attachment.

Our famous Unifoil carry bag houses all your foil gear, and can be used as a travel bag for clothes, wet gear and foils.

Our new Katana super-stiff mast construction was inspired by traditional Japanese sword making. To forge the toughest blades, swordsmiths combined an outer layer of hard steel with a softer iron core for strength and stiffness. Similarly, we take extremely stiff high modulus carbon and blend it with intermediate modulus for strength. 

The result is a mast that is super-stiff but unlike many other masts on the market, remains really fast, and has a much higher breaking point than high modulus on its own. Combined with our one-piece construction and slightly thicker profile, we have created the fastest, strongest, and stiffest carbon mast on the market.

Features:

• Stiffer feel
• Thicker chord and profile for reduced twist and flex
• Direct connection
• High performance
• Designed for High Aspect range 

New slotted holes that accept countersunk titanium hardware that makes for an even slicker fitment. Titanium wingnuts are optional for adjustments on the fly.

Better fit with taper-lock on mast to fuse connection. This holds the mast in place and doesn’t just rely on the screws to take the weight. Resulting in a more secure connection with no play.
