AFS HM Carbon Mast
High modulus carbon mast designed to offer the best compromise between smoothness, rigidity and versatility in all AFS foiling disciplines (wing, downwind, surf/prone, sup foil, etc.).
The HM range has been developed to obtain an extremely stiff and smooth mast, while maintaining an intuitive and forgiving use for both the advanced rider and those looking for a serious upgrade from their first mast.
Strengths
- High modulus carbon for extremely high stiffness and precise control in every discipline.[page:18]
- Excellent glide thanks to the slim profile (minimum thickness 15 mm) and the optimized string.[page:18]
- Total versatility: a single mast for wing foiling, downwinding, surf/prone and sup foiling.[page:18]
- Includes protective cover and screws, ready to assemble.[page:18]
- Available in two lengths (80 and 85 cm) to suit different schedules and preferences.[page:18]
HM Carbon Mast Dimensions
| Length (cm) | Minimum string (mm) | Minimum thickness (mm) | Construction | Weight (kg) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 80 | 120 | 15 | HM Carbon | 1.9 |
| 85 | 120 | 15 | HM Carbon | 2.1 |
The mast section remains identical on both lengths (same rope and thickness), with only the length varying and therefore the leverage and clearing on the water.[page:18]
Size guide – choosing the length
The choice between 80 and 85 cm depends mainly on the mix of disciplines you practice and the type of spot (depth, chop, wave).[page:18]
| Length | Recommended usage profile |
|---|---|
| 85 HM | Maximum versatility and tolerance in use: it doesn't require too much depth, allows for easy turns without getting "overwhelmed", absolute rigidity and very effective pumping. Ideal if you spend more than 60% of your time wing foiling and the rest between SUP foils, surf foils, etc. [page:18] |
| 80 HM | Mast “between surf and wing”: perfect if you do about 50/50 between surf/prone/sup and wing foil programs, with a little more control and direct feeling on the wave and in take-offs.[page:18] |
If your primary use is all-around wing foiling with some SUP/surf foiling, 85 cm is generally the most complete choice; if you do a lot of wave/prone surfing and less wing foiling, 80 cm offers more confidence and practicality.[page:18]
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the HM Carbon Mast designed for?
It is designed for intermediate and expert riders who want a single, high-performance and rigid mast for all disciplines, without having to move on to even more extreme solutions like the UHM but with a clear leap in quality compared to a standard HR.[page:18]
What is the difference between 80 and 85 cm in practice?
The 85cm is more versatile in wing, giving more margin over the chop and in maneuvers, while the 80cm is a little more compact and intuitive for surf/prone/sup and spots with less depth, while still maintaining excellent rigidity.[page:18]
Can I really use it in all disciplines?
Yes, the HM range was designed specifically to allow you to do wing, downwind, surf/prone, sup foil and other disciplines with the same mast, just changing the foil and board.[page:18]
What's included in the package?
The HM mast comes with a protective cover and mounting screws, so you can install it right away on your compatible AFS setup.[page:18]
If I have to choose only one HM, what length do I take?
If you're primarily wing foiling (more than 60% of the time), the 85cm is the recommended choice; if you split your time between surfing/prone/SUP and wing foiling (50/50), the 80cm is the ideal compromise.[page:18]
