AFS UHM Skinny Carbon Mast
UHM “Skinny” carbon mast designed for those looking for uncompromising performance: ultra-thin profile, extremely low drag and extremely high rigidity to fully unleash the foil’s potential.
By choosing the Skinny mast you aim for unique sensations on the water, with a very direct feeling and exceptional smoothness in every advanced foiling discipline.
Strengths

- Available in three lengths (75, 80, 85 cm) to suit different disciplines and spots.[page:20]
- Perfect for experienced riders who want a lightweight, responsive and high-performance mast.
- Includes protective cover and screws, ready to mount on your compatible setup.
Dimensions UHM Skinny Carbon Mast
| Length (cm) | Minimum string (mm) | Minimum thickness (mm) | Construction | Weight (kg) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75 | 100 | 12.8 | UHM Carbon | 1.5 |
| 80 | 105 | 13.2 | UHM Carbon | 1.9 |
| 85 | 105 | 13.2 | UHM Carbon | 2.0 |
All sizes share the same “skinny” philosophy, with a very thin section and optimised profile to reduce resistance in the water and increase the sensation of smoothness.[page:20]
Size guide – choosing the length
The choice between 75, 80 and 85 cm depends on your weight, the type of spot (depth, chop, wave) and your main discipline.[page:20]
| Length | Recommended usage profile |
|---|---|
| 75 cm | Ideal for prone/surf foiling, wakefoiling, and shallow water spots; very compact mast, super responsive, and direct in turns. |
| 80 cm | An excellent compromise between surf/prone, SUP foil, and wing foil in medium-sized spots; more clearance than the 75, but still very agile and intuitive. |
| 85 cm | More suitable for wing foiling and downwinding in rough seas, when more height is needed to work above the chop while maintaining a skinny and responsive feel. |
If you want a single Skinny mast for mixed wing/surf/downwind use, 80 cm is generally the most balanced choice; 75 for more radical riding and shallow spots, 85 for rough seas and advanced downwind.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the UHM Skinny Carbon Mast designed for?
It is designed for advanced riders looking for an ultra-performing mast, with minimal drag and a very free and fast feel, ideal for surf/prone, advanced wing foiling, downwind and long distance foiling.
How is it different from the “standard” UHM?
The Skinny has a thinner stringer and gauge, meaning less resistance and a sharper feel; however, it requires more technique, while the standard UHM remains slightly more forgiving and versatile.
Is it suitable for beginners?
No, it is a product oriented towards pure performance: to start with it is better to use an “easier” HR or HM mast before moving on to the Skinny profile.
What's included in the package?
The UHM Skinny shaft, protective cover and screws are included, so you can mount it right away on your compatible setup without any additional accessories.
What size do I choose as my only Skinny mast?
For mixed use (surf/prone, wing, and a bit of downwind), 80 cm is the most balanced choice; if you're very wave-oriented or often sail in shallow spots, consider 75 cm, while for downwind and wing sailing at sea, 85 cm offers more leeway.
