Main features
- Carbon Plus construction with ultra high modulus fiber for immediate stiffness and response.
- AeroCore technology : internal core in expanded epoxy and “rib” geometry to increase stiffness while reducing weight.
- Available in 3 sizes: 78 , 85 and 98 cm .
- Stiffness rating 10/10 for maximum control even with wide span and high aspect front wings.
- 14mm mast thickness , optimized to reduce drag while maintaining extremely high torsional rigidity.
- TaperLock mast–fuselage connection for a “lock-in” feeling and zero play between components.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the mast length (78 / 85 / 98 cm)?
The 78cm is great for foiling and shallow spots; the 85cm is the most versatile all-rounder for wingfoiling; the 98cm is designed for rough seas, strong winds, and high-performance use.
How is it different from the TaperLock aluminum mast?
The Carbon Plus AeroCore offers significantly lower weight and superior stiffness, with greater responsiveness and less lateral and torsional flex than aluminum.
Is it only suitable for experienced riders?
It is primarily designed for intermediate and expert riders who want to maximize feel, responsiveness and performance, but can also be used for progression if the budget allows.
Which foils is it compatible with?
It is designed for TaperLock fuselages and foils of the AK platform (Tracer, Plasma, Trek, etc.), which share the same attachment standard.
Can I feel a real difference compared to a standard mast?
Yes: the increased stiffness and reduced weight translate into more precision, less wobble and better efficiency in pump and glide, especially with large, fast front wings.
What is usually included in the package?
Normally, only the carbon mast is supplied; the plate, fuselage, front wing, stabilizer and hardware must be selected separately based on the desired setup.
