A New Benchmark in Mast Design — Three Sizes, Three Unique Builds.
The KT Apex Mast series sets a new standard in hydrodynamic efficiency, stiffness, and control. Rather than scaling a single design, each size — 77, 85, and 95cm — is a fully unique, discipline-specific build tuned around how riders actually load different sections of the mast. The result is a more direct, responsive, and efficient foil system at every length.
UHM Carbon construction delivers maximum stiffness and minimal flex across the full size range, with each mast coming factory-set with its own shim offset — +0.5° for the 95, neutral for the 85, and -0.5° for the 77 — to optimise pitch feel and lift for its intended discipline and rider profile.
Key Features
- Discipline-Specific Per Size — Each of the three lengths is an independent design, not a scaled version — tuned around actual rider loading patterns for that mast length
- UHM Carbon Construction — Ultra-High Modulus carbon for maximum stiffness, direct control, and reduced flex at all speeds
- Integrated Shim System — 95cm (+0.5°), 85cm (0°), 77cm (-0.5°) — factory shim offsets matched to each size for optimal pitch and lift
- Increased Glide & Acceleration — Hydrodynamic efficiency improvements deliver more low-end power and sustained glide
- Faster Response — Stiffer construction translates rider input more directly for quicker handling
- Broad Discipline Range — Downwind race, prone, wake, tow, wing, wave, freeride, freestyle, race, big wave

Why We Recommend It
Choose the 85cm as your all-round mast for winging, prone, and freeride foiling — it ships at neutral shim and works across all disciplines. Go to the 77cm if you prioritise speed, directional response, and a lower centre of lift in strong or technical conditions. The 95cm unlocks maximum low-end power and glide for downwind, light wind winging, or bigger ocean runs where extra leverage makes a real difference.
