Each size of the Apex is engineered from the ground up around the demands of its specific discipline. The result is a mast that responds exactly the way you need it to, faster, cleaner, and more confidently, no matter how hard you’re pushing your riding.
A forwardoffset, multiairfoil profile is tuned for submerged efficiency and ventilation resistance, while minimizing spray drag during surface contact. The aggressive taper comes from extensive video analysis of how riders engage different mast zones across disciplines and conditions, then refined through flexpattern mapping and airfoil optimization. The payoff is a mast that stays composed through chop, resists ventilation when you’re pushing hard, and delivers a clean, connected feel that lets you ride with total confidence.
The Apex series stands apart because every mast is designed independently from the ground up. Each size gets its own sectional variation, taper, and performance priorities not a scaledup or scaleddown version of a single profile. That allows the 77 to focus on unpowered speed, glide, and maneuverability for downwind racing, performance surf, and wake foiling. The 85 is tuned as the allrounder for wing foiling, wave riding, and freestyle control, while the 95 is built for highspeed wingpowered riding where ventilation resistance, stability through chop, and control at deep lean angles or in big waves matter most.
Across the lineup, the mast uses multiple airfoils along the span, each tuned for low submerged drag, strong ventilation resistance, and minimal spray drag during surface contact. Designed by Kane de Wilde, the leaner leading edge with thickness carried farther back helps the mast pierce the surface more cleanly, reducing spray and keeping the ride smoother and quieter.
Above the waterline, Apex incorporates a forwardswept design for structural reasons, aligning the carbon fiber with the downandforward load path riders generate while winging. This reduces twist and improves efficiency through the baseplate zone, keeping the mast feeling solid and predictable under heavy load. The trailing edge stays close to vertical with a subtle taper toward the bottom for clean release and stability.
All sizes feature a forwardoffset baseplate to reduce swing weight and create a more direct, connected feel to the foil. The updated baseplate fairing blends more cleanly into the plate, lowering drag for smoother touchdowns and quicker, more efficient takeoffs.
Feeling.
Apex delivers an unmistakably stiff, hyperresponsive ride that gives you a direct, intuitive connection to the foil. Every bit of load translates into clean, predictable feedback, so you always know exactly where the foil is and how hard you can push it. Refined airfoil transitions and a carefully tuned taper keep the mast feeling efficient and composed through chop or the occasional surface touch, while the forwardoffset baseplate brings a more balanced, lockedin feel to the entire setup. It’s the kind of control that lets you commit with confidence and stay fully focused on your line.

Tuned for maximum topend velocity, rocksolid yaw stability, and exceptional ventilation resistance, it gives you the confidence to stay fully powered when the course gets chaotic. A broader sweet spot than the 85 keeps the mast planted and predictable through bigger chop and deeper lean angles, letting you commit harder, ride faster, and stay locked into your line with total trust.
Apex is designed and engineered to cut drag exactly where you feel it most through the bottom threequarters of the mast, where realworld riding happens. The result is a cleaner, faster, more efficient run with noticeably less spray drag when you’re carving, pumping, or driving hard downwind.
Its dynamic crosssectional airfoil and aggressive taper unlock higher speeds with ease, giving you powerful acceleration while pumping and a smooth, controlled topend that stays predictable even when fully loaded. Apex doesn’t just reduce drag, it makes the whole ride feel lighter, quicker, and more responsive under your feet.
Shape & Outline.
Apex uses a multiairfoil mast profile with an aggressive taper, purposebuilt to keep submerged drag low, boost ventilation resistance, and cut down surfacepiercing spray drag. It stays clean and efficient exactly where you load it most, so the ride feels faster, quieter, and more controlled.
Above the waterline, the forwardswept piercing zone allows for a more forward baseplate position, creating a tighter, more direct structural load path. That translates into a setup that feels instantly connected and balanced, letting you drive harder, lean deeper, and trust the mast to stay lockedin when conditions get demanding.
Geometry.
The intentional taper and chord distribution give Apex its balance of stiffness, low drag, and precise maneuverability. By tuning these sections independently, the mast maintains rocksolid stability while still delivering the yaw and roll responsiveness riders rely on for smooth, controlled direction changes. The thicker, broader upper section delivers the stiffness and stability you feel when loading the mast at speed, while the slimmer, tighter lower section cuts drag and boosts roll and yaw maneuverability. It’s a balance that keeps the mast feeling powerful when you’re driving hard, yet surprisingly agile and reactive when you’re carving or redirecting.
Performance.
The Apex Mast stays planted and predictable at high speeds and deep lean angles, giving you the confidence to push harder. The refined airfoil sections boost ventilation resistance, while the mast’s stiffness keeps the foil tracking cleanly through aerated water and turbulence. The result is a setup that feels lockedin, stable, and fully in control even when conditions get chaotic.
Efficiency.
Optimized chord and taper reduce submerged drag exactly where it counts, letting Apex slip through the water with highlevel efficiency without relying on extreme thinness. The thickness and chord profiles shift progressively along the mast, minimizing spray drag near the surface and keeping the ride clean, quiet, and fast. The result is a mast that feels faster, more responsive, and more efficient in realworld conditions.
Agility.
Apex is designed and built to feel faster and more responsive than its thickness suggests, pairing reduced drag with a stiffer, more direct carbon structure that reacts instantly under load. The forwardset baseplate trims swing weight and brings the center of mass closer to your feet, making directional changes quicker, cleaner, and more intuitive. The whole setup feels more connected to the foil, giving you a sharper, more precise ride with less effort.
Construction.
Built with Ultra-High-Modulus Carbon, Apex delivers a level of stiffness and responsiveness you feel the moment you load the foil. The layup is engineered to align fibers with the primary load paths, boosting torsional rigidity and reducing flex under complex angles of pressure. The result is a mast that stays solid, direct, and predictable even when you’re pushing hard. An Ultra High Density Core and Stainless Helicoil Inserts add longterm durability while creating the most direct, secure connection between the foil and the board. Every component works together to give Apex its crisp, lockedin feel and longlasting structural integrity.
