AFS UHM Carbon Mast
Ultra high modulus carbon shaft designed to maximize stiffness, smoothness, and performance, representing the top of the AFS range in terms of materials and construction. [web:19]
UHM masts are a true concentration of composite know-how: they are designed to increase performance and intensify sensations in all foiling disciplines, from wing to downwind to surfing, kite and SUP foiling. [web:19]
Strengths
- UHM (ultra high modulus) carbon for extreme stiffness, ultra-direct feel, and maximum precision. [web:19]
- Very thin profile and optimized string pattern to minimize drag and increase glide and efficiency. [web:19]
- Full length range (80, 85, 95, and 95 Race) to cover all programs, from surfing to racing. [web:19]
- PCB integrated directly into the mast, compatible with virtually all boards with double US box. [web:19]
- Includes cover and screws, ready for use in advanced foiling setups. [web:19]
UHM Carbon Mast Dimensions
| Model | Length (cm) | Minimum string (mm) | Minimum thickness (mm) | Construction | Weight (kg) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| UHM 80 | 80 | 115 | 13.8 | UHM Carbon | 2.0 |
| UHM 85 | 85 | 115 | 13.5 | UHM Carbon | 2.0 |
| UHM 95 | 95 | 115 | 14.0 | UHM Carbon | 2.05 |
| UHM 95 Race | 95 Race | 120 | 12.3 | UHM Carbon | 2.3 |
All UHM masts share the same philosophy of a very thin and stiff section, with variations in length, chord and thickness to suit freeride, wave, downwind and race programs. [web:19]
Size guide – choosing the length
The choice of UHM size depends on the main use (wave, freeride, downwind, racing) and the type of spot you surf most often. [web:19]
| Model | Recommended usage profile |
|---|---|
| UHM 80 | Perfect for surf/prone foil, sup foil and wing in spots with shallow water or waves, when you need a compact but ultra-stiff mast, with great control in take-off and in turns. |
| UHM 85 | A very versatile choice for all-round wing foiling, downwinding, and advanced surf foiling; it offers more margin over chop and maneuvers than the 80, while maintaining responsiveness and precision. |
| UHM 95 | Ideal for downwind, fast freeriding and use in rough seas, where the extra height increases control and distance from the water in flight. |
| UHM 95 Race | Version dedicated to pure performance and competitions, with a wider chord and an optimised profile for maximum speed and stability at faster paces. |
If you want a single UHM mast for wing foiling that also includes downwind and surf/prone use, the 85 cm is generally the most balanced choice; for a strong focus on downwind and racing, it's worth looking at the 95 cm (standard or Race). [web:19]
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the UHM Carbon Mast intended for?
It is designed for advanced and expert riders looking for the ultimate in stiffness, responsiveness, and performance, whether freeflying or in challenging race or downwind contexts. [web:19]
Can I use it in all disciplines?
Yes, the UHM mast is declared suitable for surfing, downwind, wing, kite and SUP foil, thanks to its compatibility with boards equipped with a double US box and the integrated PCB. [web:19]
What is the practical difference compared to an HM Carbon Mast?
Compared to an HM mast, the UHM offers even more stiffness and a crisper response, with a more direct and performance-oriented feel, at the expense of less “softness” and forgiveness.
What's included in the package?
The package includes a mast, protective cover, and screws, so you can immediately mount it to your compatible setup without additional purchases. [web:19]
What length do I choose as my only UHM?
If your main focus is all-around wing foiling with downwind sessions and some surf/prone sessions, the 85 cm represents the best compromise; for use oriented mainly towards downwind, speed, and racing, the 95 or 95 Race become the reference choice. [web:19]
