AXIS Power Carbon Foil Mast & Base Plate

FAQ

What is the AXIS Power Carbon Foil Mast & Base Plate?

The AXIS Power Carbon Foil Mast & Base Plate is a one-piece carbon mast including base plate from AXIS Foils, developed for ambitious wing, surf, kite and SUP foilers. It combines high bending and torsional stiffness with an aerodynamically optimized tapered design and forms the direct connection between the board and the foil system.

For which foil disciplines is the mast suitable?

The AXIS Power Carbon mast is designed for winging, wave foiling, kite foiling, SUP downwind and pump foiling. Thanks to its high stiffness, it brings out the full potential of high-aspect front wings in particular and delivers direct feedback during speed runs, deep carves and long pump sessions.

What lengths are available?

The AXIS Power Carbon Foil Mast & Base Plate is available in three lengths: 750 mm, 820 mm and 1020 mm. Which length is right for you depends on the intended use, your skill level and your foil setup – our team at Surfshop Fehmarn will be happy to advise you personally.

Is the mast compatible with existing AXIS fuselages?

Yes, the AXIS Power Carbon mast is fully compatible with all existing AXIS Red and Black Series fuselages. For installation, use only 30 mm M8 screws to ensure a secure and wobble-free connection.

How do you install it on the fuselage?

The new base connection is inserted into the fuselage opening with the leading edge first, and then the trailing edge is rotated downwards. Removal is done in reverse order – this ensures that the mast sits cleanly, fits securely and without play.

How stiff is the Power Carbon compared to an aluminum mast?

According to the manufacturer, the bending stiffness of the AXIS Power Carbon exceeds that of the stiffest 19 mm aluminum mast on the market, and the torsional stiffness is also at a very high level. The high-modulus version offers around 35 percent more bending strength than the 19 mm aluminum mast and is therefore the recommendation for heavier riders and particularly large high-aspect spans.

How do I properly care for and transport the carbon mast?

Rinse the mast with fresh water after every session, especially after contact with salt water or sand. Regularly check the screw connections to the base plate and the fuselage, and use a suitable mast bag for transport to avoid scratches and pressure marks on the carbon.

Who is the AXIS Power Carbon mast worth it for?

The Power Carbon mast is aimed at foilers looking for maximum control, direct feedback and a stiff setup – from ambitious wing foilers and wave riders to downwind pumpers. Anyone who has previously struggled with bending and torsional losses in an aluminum mast will immediately feel a noticeable difference with this carbon mast.
