Don’t let the name fool you; Evolution Wind is not just for kite and wing foiling. This mast is optimized for higher speeds and longer lengths, which are typically associated with more powered forms of foiling from tow-in to gusty DW conditions. Evolution Wind offers unmatched stability, thanks to a distinctive and patented water-piercing region that keeps flow attached and eliminates ventilation in even the most aggressive forms foiling. Thanks to this longer chord length, the mast points higher into the wind, making this mast the ultimate DW shuttle. The layup and upper profile are tailored to provide exceptional torsional and bending stiffness in longer lengths, while minimizing drag during water starts or when riding low on the mast. Whether you are sailing hard upwind, getting towed into big swell, racing around a course, or simply enjoy the feeling of being “locked in,” Evolution Wind will offer a more predictable, stable, and progressive ride on any foil. Learning to parawing? The added stability of Wind will aid the learning process by letting you focus on flying the parawing and improve your upwind pointing ability.
Key Features:
- Patented ventilation-resistant water-piercing region for unmatched stability
- 128mm chord, 16mm thick piercing region
- Short cord (118mm) upper section for lower drag water starts, 20mm thick
- Engineered high torsional stiffness in longer lengths
- Lightweight: 3.8lbs/1.7kg @ 77.5cm, 4.1lbs/1.9kg @ 87.5cm
- Designed for high-speed performance and enhanced control in rough water conditions.
- Points higher upwind, enabling more downwind running
- Hollow architecture for reduced weight compared to traditional solid high modulus masts.
- Distinct from Evolution Surf, catering to powered riding needs.
- Evolution Adapter Interface: Compatible with all foils using precision machined adapters
Available in custom lengths as short as 77.5cm, up to 108cm assembled, Evolution Wind is made for speed and stability, with excellent glide and stiffness for all forms of foiling.

The Cedrus Difference
The Cedrus Difference
A whole new mast from the ground up.
Choose the mast that's right for you.
DISCIPLINE SPECIFIC DESIGN
The needs of a lightweight prone foiler differ from those of an aggressive winger. Achieving an optimized solution with a single design is no longer possible, so we engineered two very distinct masts to better suit the diverse range of riders.
Evolution Wind targets the needs of powered riders with significantly more torsional stiffness especially in longer lengths, wrapped in a patented ventilation resistant water piercing region.
Endless Possibiliities
INVEST IN A SINGLE MAST
Cedrus masts redefine versatility as the only truly universal foil mast, which means you’re not locked into a single foil brand. This one investment will allow you to stay current and evolve as quickly as the sport changes without buying another mast.
The new patented adapter interface of Evolution Cedrus combines the industry’s strongest custom M8 screws and tightest manufacturing tolerances with additional M10 hardware to ensure that your foil connection is stiffer and stronger.
More than just stiffness
A STRONGER UNIVERSAL MAST
Cedrus lead the industry movement towards a stiffer mast, and the Evolution masts introduce new patented hydrodynamic concepts that will truly make this the all-around best performing mast. This new design offers a more progressive feel as ride height changes through the water column, so it’s easier to lift off the water and stay there.
The shorter lengths of Evolution Surf are optimized to address drag with reduced thickness and wetted area, ensuring longer glides, fewer pumps, and faster top-end speeds while improving ventilation resistance over the Classic.
Unique to Cedrus Masts
THE SAFEST MAST ON THE MARKET
Cedrus is the first and only foil component employing non-structural leading and trailing edges. The semi-flexible polymer reduces weight, improves safety for both the rider and sea life, and is more damage tolerant and easy to repair than carbon composites. With a new manufacturing process that enables lower volume edges and more structural material into a thinner profile, the Evolution mast gains stiffness, strength, and speed on one of the industry’s lightest masts.
High Quality Design
ADVANCED ENGINEERING
The Evolution mast's performance isn't just about the materials used; it's about smart design. Drawing on years of expertise in fields from aerospace to consumer products, we've crafted a mast that sets new standards in the industry.
Using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and tests from our unique rig, we ensure our designs are superior through engineering. The mast uses intermediate modulus fiber, striking the perfect balance between stiffness and strength, while the durable aluminum board mount can withstand impact loads from abuse without scrapping a mast. Both Evolution Wind & Surf models offer unmatched stiffness and strength with less weight and drag, redefining what's possible.
Manufactured Responsibly
LESS WASTE
Using up-cycled materials from Boeing and a hollow design minimizes waste and shipping emissions. Our commitment extends to packaging, using 100% recycled or reused materials despite the higher costs and logistical challenges.
LONG LASTING
Our masts are built to endure a lifetime of heavy use, with a warranty rate of <1% since launching he Classic in 2017. This durability reflects our sound engineering and design while minimizing the environmental impact of our products.
LOCALLY MADE
Manufactured outside Seattle, our masts boast enhanced quality control and reduced environmental impact by cutting down on transportation distances.
SMALL BATCHES
We produce in small batches to refine continuously and avoid overproduction. This approach prevents waste, eliminates excess inventory, and allows each mast to be tailored to individual customer needs.
