Axis KAIWI Ultra High Modulus Uni Carbon Mast

The Kaiwi mast is a pure performance mast designed to minimize drag and maximize glide efficiency for downwind racing, pump foiling, and prone foiling. With more than a year of development behind it, its capabilities are beyond doubt, having already topped international podiums across all three disciplines.

By optimizing for smaller-span wings and lighter riders, the Kaiwi achieves an exceptionally low-drag profile that larger, stiffer masts simply cannot match. Designed for wings up to 100 cm in span (excluding the Tempo) and riders weighing 85 kg or less, it represents a no-compromise approach to delivering maximum efficiency for those who demand the highest levels of performance.

An in-depth analysis of both hydrodynamics and structural loading led the R&D team to optimize every aspect of the mast's geometry and material stiffness. What began as a project to create the world's most efficient downwind race mast soon proved to have much broader appeal, with its exceptional efficiency benefiting any rider seeking less drag, improved glide, and greater control, provided they fall within the recommended weight range and use foils with a span under 100 cm.

While our Ultra Pro and Fatty masts deliver superior stiffness and enhanced control for heavier riders and larger-span wings, neither can match the efficiency and minimal drag that make the Kaiwi so effective in glide-dominated disciplines. For riders focused on maximizing glide, maintaining speed, and extracting every ounce of performance from their foil, the Kaiwi sets a new benchmark.
