Evolution Surf pioneered the short-chord length (skinny mast) revolution when it launched in 2023, and has recently undergone a 2025 facelift bringing enhanced performance and cosmetics. 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. Key Features: Optimized for prone and DW foiling with a focus on glide and agility The lightest production carbon mast at 3.5lbs/1.6kg @ 77.5cm Reduced chord length piercing region for lower drag and sportier turns Constant 16mm thickness in piercing region, 19mm above Optimized hydrodynamics for superior glide and good ventilation resistance Evolution Adapter Interface: Compatible with all foils using precision machined adapters Available in two layup options, both masts feature the same profile and shape Now includes neoprene mast sleeve Forward and backwards compatible with all board interface standards, including the new Radix system from Appletree Intermediate Modulus (IM) offers the stiffness of other brands' high modulus masts, suitable for average size riders (
