HIGHLIGHTS
Pure Efficiency
Built as a specialist performance mast, the Performance-X Carbon Mast prioritizes glide and drag reduction above all else.
Every element of its design is focused on efficiency, allowing riders to travel further with less effort, maintain speed through transitions, and stay on foil longer. It is a mast designed for progression through efficiency, not just power.
Ultra-High Modulus Construction
The use of ultra-high modulus carbon allows for an exceptionally thin profile while maintaining the strength and control needed for high performance riding.
This advanced construction delivers improved stiffness without added weight, creating a precise, responsive feel underfoot even at higher speeds.
Thin, Fast, Free
The reduced thickness and optimized chord create a noticeably lighter, more agile ride.
Turning feels looser and more reactive, with less resistance through direction changes. The setup feels more alive, encouraging fluid movement and clean, efficient lines.
Efficiency First
On the water, the Performance-X Carbon Mast delivers smoother transitions, increased glide, and easier generation of speed.
It performs best in cleaner conditions and efficiency focused riding, where reduced drag and lighter handling can be fully appreciated. For riders seeking maximum stability in heavy conditions, a thicker mast may still be preferred, but for those prioritizing glide and speed, this mast stands apart.
Positioning
Sitting at the top of the mast range, the Performance-X Carbon Mast is a specialist choice for riders prioritizing efficiency, glide, and a more reactive turning feel.
It is best suited to intermediate to advanced riders looking to push speed, refine technique, and unlock a more efficient style of riding.
