Mast AK 2024 Alu V4 Taper Lock

AK Alu TaperLock Mast - a durable aluminum mast for the AK Hydrofoil system

The AK Alu TaperLock Mast is a solid aluminum mast designed for riders who expect high stiffness, durability and reliability. Thanks to the TaperLock system, it provides an exceptionally stiff connection to the fuselage, translating into direct energy transfer and precise foil handling.

It's an excellent choice both for people starting their hydrofoiling journey and more advanced users looking for a durable mast for everyday riding.

Characteristics

The mast is made from high-quality aluminum, which combines strong impact resistance with an attractive weight. The construction was designed to withstand intensive use in wingfoiling, surf foiling, SUP foiling and pump foiling alike.

The model's biggest advantage is the TaperLock system, which creates a very stiff connection between the mast and the fuselage. The tapered socket eliminates play and improves force transfer, so the foil responds faster to the rider's movements and provides greater control while carving, pumping and riding at higher speeds.

The aluminum mast works with the modular AK Hydrofoil platform, allowing easy swapping of wings, fuselages and stabilizers. This lets you upgrade the system as your skills grow, without having to replace the entire set.
