Each model\u003cbr\u003e— 77 cm, 85 cm, and 95 cm — is a unique, discipline-specific design, built from the ground up for its intended use rather than scaled from a single template.\u003cbr\u003eEvery Apex mast incorporates ultra-high modulus carbon, delivering a massive leap in stiffness and responsiveness for a given thickness. The result: a mast that’s faster, more agile, and up to 30% lower drag than our standard designs.\u003cbr\u003eThe Apex Mast features a multi-airfoil design tuned for low submerged efficiency, high  ventilation resistance, and low surface-piercing spray drag. Its aggressive taper was created using video to study how different parts of the mast are utilized in different disciplines and conditions, a deep dive on flex pattern and its effect on control,\u003cbr\u003eoptimization of a large range of airfoils to cover every use case, and finally the application of this knowledge in a way that meets riders demands of each size.\u003cbr\u003eAll Sizes of the Apex mast feature a forward-offset baseplate, minimizing swing weight and facilitating a more direct connection to the foil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscipline-Specific Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApex 77 –\u003c\/strong\u003e Optimized for straight line speed and glide downwind plus amazing manoeuvrability and\u003cbr\u003eforgiveness prone foiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApex 85 \u003c\/strong\u003e– Built for wing foiling, wave riding, and freeride control.

Every input becomes acceleration. Every carve becomes seamless flow. Its refined, reduced‑chord profile cuts cleanly through the water, minimising drag and unlocking more glide, more speed, and effortless efficiency. Each mast size is purpose‑designed and individually tuned for its specific discipline, moving far beyond the old “scale up or down” approach. The Apex isn’t an evolution; it’s the new standard, crafted with uncompromising precision and premium Ultra‑High Modulus Carbon.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"m_-5251737773489814905mcePastedContent\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"m_-5251737773489814905mcePastedContent\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eApex Sizes and Disciplines:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eApex 77cm - Downwind Race \/ Prone \/ Wake \/ Tow\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eApex 85cm - Winging \/ Downwind \/ Tow \/ Prone \/ Wave riding \/ Freeride \/ Freestyle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eApex 95cm - Race \/ Big Wave \/ Tow \/ Winging\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KT","offers":[{"title":"77cm","offer_id":57765621203279,"sku":null,"price":1654.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"85cm","offer_id":57765621236047,"sku":null,"price":1779.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"95cm","offer_id":57765621268815,"sku":null,"price":1913.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0882\/0988\/3471\/files\/KT_Apex_Carbon_Mast_hydrofoilstore.jpg?v=1780593585","url":"https:\/\/hydrofoilstore.com\/products\/kt-uhm-apex-carbon-mast","provider":"Hydrofoil Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
