Are you a fan of speed when on foil? So are we! And we know that speed enthusiasts like yourself are always searching for ways to maximize their foil performance. That's where Unifoil's newest mast series, the Race, comes in. Made with deluxe high-modulus carbon, the 75cm and 83cm masts are specifically designed to help you achieve maximum speed and efficiency while foiling. Their highly stiff and ultra-thin tapered profile minimizes drag, allowing you to accelerate, glide, and reach unprecedented top speeds. With a specialized layup and crafted from high-modulus carbon, these masts are the perfect choice for riders who are passionate about pushing their limits and breaking personal records. So why wait? Combine a Race mast with any Unifoil wing and experience a noticeable boost in your speed.
How to Choose the Right Mast
When deciding between Unifoil's masts, consider the following factors:
Your Riding Style:
-
If you're chasing maximum speed and efficiency, the 75R mast is ideal. Its thinner profile makes it perfect for those who want to accelerate, glide, and carve at top speeds.
-
In bigger waves or chunky downwind conditions where more clearance is needed, the 83R is ideal. Being longer, it will have a touch more drag and flex than the 75R, but the mast section is identical.
Your Weight:
Your Foil Size:
-
Larger foils generate greater forces on the mast, increasing the risk of mast flex. A thicker mast, with its enhanced torsional stiffness and versatility, better accommodates larger foils. This makes it an ideal choice for riders using medium to large wing sizes.
-
If you’re using a smaller foil and prioritize speed, the 75R & 83R are optimized for minimal drag and maximum acceleration.
Mast Length:
-
Longer masts are more versatile, allowing greater board clearance at steeper bank angles.
-
Longer masts provide more board and breach clearance while riding in choppy conditions or larger swells
-
Shorter masts are inherently stiffer (in equal construction & profile)
-
Shorter masts have less wetted area which translates to less drag and more speed and glide
-
Shorter masts are more reactive and engage turns quicker
