Cabrinha Union Carbon Apex Mast – High Modulus Carbon 2026
Category: Hydrofoil / Wing Foil / Surf Foil
SKU: K6FSCMASA078XXX
Available variants:
• 78 cm
• 84 cm
Description
The Union Carbon Apex Mast represents the highest level of innovation and performance in the 2026 Cabrinha hydrofoil range. Made from ultra high modulus carbon with a profile of just 14mm , it combines extreme torsional stiffness with minimal drag.
Thanks to the new Union connection , the fuselage cross-section has been reduced by 15%, resulting in a cleaner, smoother, and more aerodynamic shape. The result is an extremely stiff mast , with direct response and superior control in all conditions.
Available in two lengths, each optimized for a specific riding style:
- 78 cm: ideal for purist foil surfers and downwinders
- 84cm: perfect for high-performance freeride, freestyle and wing foiling
Design Profile
Superior stiffness with minimal drag.
Technical Features
- 14mm ultra high-modulus carbon construction for exceptional stiffness and feel
- Pre-preg carbon monocoque for maximum energy efficiency and superior glide
- Ultra-thin aerodynamic profile for early lift and higher top speed
- Union System connection for maximum rigidity and reduced hydrodynamic resistance
- Unidirectional carbon layup to reduce weight while maintaining torsional stiffness
Key Features
- Union Connection: Maximum footprint fuselage connection for stiffness and hydrodynamic efficiency
- Ventilation Resistant Design: continuous water flow and stable control even during the most aggressive maneuvers
- Tapered Up Section: conical section that maximizes stiffness while keeping drag low
- 3 Screw Connection: 3-screw mounting system to reduce assembly time
- Integrated SS316 Inserts: Precise and rigid connection, with aligned geometry under load
- 15% Fuselage Reduction: slimmer and more performing design than the previous Fusion system
Technical Specifications
| Mast Measure | Recommended Use |
|---|---|
| 78 cm | Surf Foil / Downwind Foil / Wing Foil |
| 84 cm | Wing Foil / Tow Foil / Kite Foil |
Construction
The use of ultra-high modulus pre-preg carbon has allowed us to drastically reduce the profile thickness while maintaining unparalleled stiffness and response. The result is a “slippery, stiff, and fast” mast—stiff, smooth, and incredibly fast—with a feeling of total control underfoot.
Rider Quote
“It glides, it’s stiff, it’s fast—what more could you ask for? The Mast 78 APEX is a do-it-all machine.”

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
What is the difference between the 78 and 84 cm mast?
The 78 cm is shorter, more responsive, and ideal for foiling and downwind surfing. The 84 cm offers more clearance and control for freeriding, freestyle, and more challenging conditions.
What type of carbon is used?
High modulus pre-preg carbon is used, the same technology used in the aeronautical sector, for maximum rigidity and structural precision.
Is it compatible with all Cabrinha foils?
Yes, the Union Connection 2026 system guarantees full compatibility with the fuselage and wings of the new generation Cabrinha Prestige and Fusion.
How does the 15% reduction in the fuselage affect it?
Improves hydrodynamic efficiency by reducing drag and increasing top speed, as well as improving overall feel under load.
Does any special maintenance need to be done?
No, just rinse with fresh water after each use and check the SS316 screws periodically to avoid oxidation or loosening.
