KT Apex Carbon mast

The KT Foiling Apex ultra high modulus carbon mast sets a brand new standard in hydrodynamic efficiency, extreme stiffness, and absolute control. Built from Ultra High Modulus (UHM) carbon, it delivers a hyper-direct and instant response under load, reducing drag by up to 30% compared to traditional masts.

Unlike other brands, every size in the Apex series (77, 85, and 95 cm) features a unique, discipline-specific design. The profile, chord distribution, and thickness have been individually modeled based on the actual forces and angles a rider experiences on the water, rather than simply scaling a single template.

Key Features of the KT Foiling Apex Carbon Mast

• Ultra-High Modulus Carbon Construction: Maximizes torsional rigidity and reduces structural flex during high-pressure turns or complex angles.
• Advanced Profile Efficiency: A hydrodynamic design with aggressive taper that reduces drag by up to 30% and mitigates splashing when breaking the surface.
• Forward Shifted Base Plate: Forward-shifted base plate with an integrated low-drag fairing. It moves the center of mass closer to your feet for more direct pumping, fast transitions, and reduced swing weight.
• Extreme Ventilation Resistance: Its refined leading edge and tailored profiles maintain laminar flow, ensuring stability and optimal grip in choppy waters (chop) or radical lean angles.
• Ultra-High Density Core & Helicoil Inserts: The ultra-dense inner core combined with stainless steel inserts guarantees long-term durability and an incredibly solid connection.

Which KT Apex Mast Size to Choose?

Each size has been independently developed from the ground up to excel in specific conditions:

• 77 cm – Straight-Line Speed & Downwind: Optimized to maximize glide and linear speed in competitive Downwind. It offers excellent maneuverability and forgiving support for high-performance Prone (surf foil) riding.
• 85 cm – Wing Foiling, Waves & Freeride Control: The ultimate all-rounder size. Its straighter middle section and unique upper profile drastically reduce drag at aggressive lean angles, providing incredible stability when cutting through chop.
• 95 cm – The Competition / Race Flagship: Meticulously designed to reach extreme top speeds, offering maximum yaw stability and ventilation resistance. It features a wider "sweet spot" than the 85 cm to keep you in control in big swell at blistering speeds.

Note: The top and bottom quarter measurements (Top/Bottom Quarter) reflect the intentional taper and chord distribution used to perfectly balance stiffness, flex, drag, and aerodynamic control.
