Description
Whether you’re winging with speed, hitting deep carves on the wave, or pumping and connecting swells on a downwinder, the AXIS Power Carbon unlocks a new level of control and connection between board and foil. It's the next great leap in foil performance.
High Aspect Foils = Higher Mast Loads
During early ART foil testing, our research team quickly realized that higher aspect ratios and wider foil spans put more flex and twist loads on the mast. While the ART foils themselves were a great departure from our existing masts, we knew there was a huge untapped potential yet to be realized.
And so we embarked on a completely new development project, the result of which we can't wait to share. With a new power profile and carefully considered material selection and placement, the AXIS Power Carbon offers both superior stiffness and strength at the highest level.
By opting for a one-piece design, we were able to avoid the flow and connection issues associated with multi-piece mast constructions.
Additionally, and more importantly, tests have shown that the maximum load is concentrated near the base plate, which is why the mast tapers at this point to handle the loads. Any connection or two-piece construction in this highly stressed area would destroy the integrity of the mast.
A revised fuselage connection design maximizes the size of the attachment point to achieve a perfect fit to the fuselage and reduce the possibility of unwanted movement.
The result is a positive feeling of connection, direct drive, immediate feedback, and ultimate control. High aspect foils perform as they should, and feel and control enter a completely new dimension.
FAQ
FAQ
FAQ
Who is the AXIS High Modulus Carbon Foil Mast & Base Plate designed for?
The AXIS High Modulus Carbon Foil Mast is designed for demanding wing foilers, pump foilers, and wave riders who ride high-aspect foils with a large span and seek maximum stiffness and direct feedback.
What advantages does the High Modulus mast offer compared to the AXIS aluminum mast?
According to AXIS, the high modulus carbon layup provides approximately 35% more bending strength than the proven 19 mm aluminum mast, enabling noticeably more direct drive and ultimate control.
In what lengths is the High Modulus mast available?
The AXIS High Modulus Carbon Foil Mast & Base Plate is available in three lengths: 750 mm, 820 mm, and 1020 mm – so you can find the right height for every board and location.
Is the High Modulus mast compatible with my existing AXIS fuselages?
Yes, the mast is fully compatible with all existing AXIS Red and Black Series fuselages. However, please note that only 30 mm M8 screws may be used for mounting.
How is the mast connected to the fuselage?
The new base connection is inserted into the fuselage opening with the leading edge first and then locked into place by turning the trailing edge downwards – disassembly is done in reverse order.
Why is the mast designed as a single piece?
The one-piece design avoids the flow and connection issues of multi-piece constructions and ensures that the maximum load in the base plate area is cleanly transferred through the mast taper.
For which applications is the High Modulus mast particularly suitable?
It shows its strength wherever high-aspect foils generate high bending and torsional forces – when winging for speed, in the waves during deep carves, as well as when pumping and linking swells on a downwinder.
Which screws and tools are required for assembly?
Only 30 mm M8 screws are approved for connecting the mast to the fuselage; suitable AXIS stainless steel or titanium screw sets are available as accessories in the AXIS program.
