“Absolutely the best winging mast I’ve used (among the Classic Cedrus mast, the Clydesdale version, various versions of F One, the current AFS, the Axis aluminum and HM, various Takumas, Unifoils, GoFoils, the NoLimitz masts and others - I have friends and vendors that like to share and provide demos). Some masts would not ventilate (usually longer chords and thinner foil sections), but you’d have to deal with the flex and the vagueness of control. Others were stiff, but a little slower on the top end.

I don’t even think about my gear anymore (trying to predict venting in high chop conditions when pinching hard - I would focus on preventing the burp instead of looking at how I could abuse the section of the wave in front of me, or pull punches when taking bigger drops and banking hard on to a follow on bottom turn) - I just ride as hard as I can now. I still plan on using my Project Cedrus Classic masts to prone foil and for Foil Drive prone foiling - I don’t feel like there is any loss of performance in those disciplines - but I will only wing with the Evolution Wind mast from now on.

Thanks for the time, effort, blood, sweat and tears used to design, line up manufacturing, and even sending each mast with recycled packing materials - the masts are a labor of love and it shows!!!”

Seriously though, what a difference. I wanted to wait until I had a few sessions under the belt with serious riding before sending any feedback. As for specifics, I can say the following:

Stiffness is remarkably better. My foil feels twitchier and responsive at levels I wasn’t expecting. This was welcomed and as I said, unexpected.

Ventilation has yet to show its face!!! I push my gear very hard utilizing speeds and upwind angles with aggressive maneuvers. While I haven’t had the conditions align for full send speed runs yet, I’ve had it over 26mph multiple times and cranked some serious upwind angles and g’s with winds > 40mph and I’ve had ZERO ventilation. This is huge. Seriously, I’d buy it just for that.

Efficiency is a hard measure in two sessions with nuking winds. I’ll get back to you on that one, but at a minimum, it’s as efficient with static glide as the classic. It’s definitely more efficient with dynamic pumping via improved stiffness, but I haven’t had a chance to evaluate raw efficiency in pure glide.

Aesthetics and overall mastery just have a superior look and feel. The quality is remarkable and the look is very sharp and professional. The finish is a 10/10. Also, the Unifoil adapter carries the same level of craftsmanship and the top plate does as well.

That’s all for now, I just wanted to give you my initial thoughts. You’ve created an amazing mast (erpiece) and I’ll definitely spread the word.
