The 75R & 83R (Race) mast is for those who crave maximum speed and efficiency. The 80T (Torque) mast is the ultimate choice for riders seeking the perfect balance of rigidity, torsional stiffness, and speed thanks to its deluxe high-modulus carbon construction. Designed for top-end performance, this mast is built for riders looking to turbocharge their sessions. Stiffer and faster than our Katana mast, the 75R & 83R allows you to accelerate, glide, and carve at an unprecedented pace. Its high-modulus carbon construction delivers a sleek, ultra-thin profile that minimizes drag, making it perfect for riders who want to push their limits and experience unparalleled speed and glide on the water.
Smaller team riders have been using this mast with the 155 in the surf and still love it, but this mast is really meant to be pushed fast, and not so hard rail to rail. This would be the mast for windsport focussed riders, who’s main goal is to go fast, whether it’s on wing, or downwind, or for riders surfing smaller wings, or for everyday riders who aren’t pushing turns insanely hard and want to maximize speed and efficiency
Introducing the 80 Torque Mast
The 80T (Torque) mast is the ultimate choice for riders seeking the perfect balance of rigidity, torsional stiffness, and speed thanks to its deluxe high-modulus carbon construction. Notably faster than the 800 Progression mast, the Torque is nearly as stiff. Its high-modulus carbon construction allows for a thinner profile, increasing speed and efficiency, while maintaining a rigid and reliable feel. This mast is your well-rounded choice for versatility across all foiling disciplines. If you could have only one mast, 80 Torque is the one.
Introducing the Unifoil Race Mast
Do you like speed? We do too. We also like to RACE! Introducing Unifoil’s newest mast series the Race, made in deluxe high-modulus carbon. The 75cm Race & 83cm Race masts are designed for foilers seeking maximum speed and efficiency. These Race masts enable riders to accelerate, glide, and achieve unprecedented top speeds. Crafted from high-modulus carbon with a specialized layup, the masts boast a highly stiff yet ultra-thin, tapered profile that minimizes drag and maximizes speed and efficiency. This makes them ideal for riders who want to push their limits and achieve their highest top speeds and best times. Couple a Race mast with any Unifoil wing and experience a noticeable increase in 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. It’s designed for riders looking to push their limits with a thinner profile, making it perfect for those who want to accelerate, glide, and carve at top speeds. In bigger waves or chunky downwind conditions needing more clearance, the 83R is ideal. Being longer it will have a touch more drag and flex than the 75R, but the mast section is identical.
The most versatile, all-around option, the 80T provides a balance of speed, control and clearance. This mast is great across all foiling disciplines and delivers enhanced torsional stiffness for precision and stability while still delivering respectable speed.
Your Weight:
Heavier riders are more susceptible to mast flex. If you’re on the heavier side, opting for a mast with higher torsional stiffness can provide better resistance to flex while maintaining performance. A shorter, stiffer mast is also a great option for those focused on maximizing speed and minimizing drag.
Your Foil Size:
Larger foils exert more force on the mast, increasing the likelihood of flex. The 80T can handle larger foils better due to its torsional stiffness and versatility, making it an excellent choice for those using medium to large wings.
If you’re using a smaller foil and prioritize speed, the 75R & 83R are optimized for minimal drag and maximum acceleration.
Riding wings 150+ in size, we recommend choosing the 80T or Progression 800.
Mast Length:
Longer masts are more versatile, allowing greater board clearance at steeper bank angles or riding in choppy conditions.
Shorter masts are inherently stiffer (in equal construction & thickness), and with less wetted area they are ideal for speed-focused riding with maximum responsiveness. The shorter the mast, the more reactive the feel.
The less mast in the water (wetted area), the more efficient your glide.
