With reduced wetted area in the hydrodynamically critical region of the mast, Evolution Surf offers more efficient pumping and wave connections than OEM foil masts. These masts have become popular among downwind foilers, and offer more pivot-like turns whether you are slashing surf or swell. Evolution Surf offers a more progressive feel under varying ride heights than traditional tapered masts, but rewards riders for staying high with a predictable ride. The mast is engineered for low to mid speed performance in the 5-15kt range, where ventilation is less common and riders are more sensitive to drag. Cedrus masts are hand-tuned and finished, and the graphics are fully submerged under a layer of epoxy and UV-cured coating.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eOptimized for prone and DW foiling with a focus on glide and agility\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThe lightest production carbon mast at 3.5lbs\/1.6kg @ 77.5cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eReduced chord length piercing region for lower drag and sportier turns\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eConstant 16mm thickness in piercing region, 19mm above\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eOptimized hydrodynamics for superior glide and good ventilation resistance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eEvolution Adapter Interface: Compatible with all foils using precision machined adapters\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eAvailable in two layup options, both masts feature the same profile and shape\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eNow includes neoprene mast sleeve\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntermediate Modulus (IM) \u003c\/strong\u003eoffers industry benchmark stiffness for average size riders (\u0026lt;200lbs) riding small to mid size performance foils (\u0026lt;1200mm span). This layup features improved torsional stiffness from the original Surf mast, actually matching that of Evolution Wind. Please note that mast stiffness is a combination of material (modulus) and design, with the latter being more important. The IM layup achieves excellent stiffness characteristics (torsion and bending) through advanced design. Cosmetically, the outer ply has been updated to spread tow fabric, and now covers the entire length of the mast.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUltra High Modulus (UHM) \u003c\/strong\u003emasts feature a 100% UHM prepreg laminate for maximum stiffness without sacrificing strength thanks to the unique Cedrus architecture and aluminum board mont. These masts are ideal for larger riders, those riding long span foils, or DW racers looking to maximize pumping efficiency. UHM material is thinner and more expensive than IM and HM carbon prepreg, increasing labor and material costs. As a result, this mast carries a significant price premium over the IM version with a 30% increase in stiffness. UHM masts feature stealth black graphics, and the same spread tow cosmetic ply.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFor an in-depth discussion on mast stiffness, \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"hydrofoil mast stiffness comparison\" href=\"https:\/\/foilcedrus.com\/blogs\/news\/mast-flex-setting-the-record-straight\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\" target=\"_blank\"\u003esee our blog entry here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTo have your mast assembled with a Foil Drive specific mount, please purchase the mount in addition to your mast \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Foil Drive Mount\" href=\"https:\/\/foilcedrus.com\/collections\/accessories\/products\/foil-drive-mount-for-evolution-surf?variant=48560909484340\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Foil Cedrus","offers":[{"title":"Intermediate Modulus \/ 65","offer_id":49968881402089,"sku":"sku-47499798675764","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Intermediate Modulus \/ 67.5","offer_id":49968881467625,"sku":"sku-47499798708532","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Intermediate Modulus \/ 70","offer_id":49968881533161,"sku":"sku-47499798741300","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Intermediate Modulus \/ 72.5","offer_id":49968881598697,"sku":"sku-47499798774068","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Intermediate Modulus \/ 75","offer_id":49968881664233,"sku":"sku-47499798806836","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Intermediate Modulus \/ 77.5","offer_id":49968881729769,"sku":"sku-47499798839604","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Intermediate Modulus \/ 80","offer_id":49968881795305,"sku":"sku-47499798872372","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Intermediate Modulus \/ 82.5","offer_id":49968881860841,"sku":"sku-47499798905140","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Intermediate Modulus \/ 85","offer_id":49968881926377,"sku":"sku-47499798937908","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ultra High Modulus \/ 65","offer_id":49968881434857,"sku":"sku-48890987118900","price":2100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ultra High Modulus \/ 67.5","offer_id":49968881500393,"sku":"sku-48890987151668","price":2100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ultra High Modulus \/ 70","offer_id":49968881565929,"sku":"sku-48890987184436","price":2100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ultra High Modulus \/ 72.5","offer_id":49968881631465,"sku":"sku-48890987217204","price":2100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ultra High Modulus \/ 75","offer_id":49968881697001,"sku":"sku-48890987249972","price":2100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ultra High Modulus \/ 77.5","offer_id":49968881762537,"sku":"sku-48890987282740","price":2100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ultra High Modulus \/ 80","offer_id":49968881828073,"sku":"sku-48890987315508","price":2100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ultra High Modulus \/ 82.5","offer_id":49968881893609,"sku":"sku-48890987348276","price":2100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ultra High Modulus \/ 85","offer_id":49968881959145,"sku":"sku-48890987381044","price":2100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2827\/0102\/files\/3carbon_white.jpg?v=1767037937","url":"https:\/\/urbansurf.com\/products\/evolution-surf-mast","provider":"Urban Surf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
