Evolution Surf Mast

Evolution Surf features industry-leading glide characteristics coupled with the stiffness and strength that Cedrus is known for. 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. The shorter chord and increased stiffness also results in faster, more pivot-like turns in the surf. It 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 truly engineered for low to mid speed performance in the 10-20kt range, where ventilation is less common and riders are more sensitive to drag.

Key Features:

  • Optimized for prone foiling with a focus on glide and agility.
  • Reduced chord length for lower drag and sportier turns.
  • Hydrodynamically optimized for superior glide and good ventilation resistance.
  • Unique design for surf enthusiasts seeking responsive control.
  • Hollow architecture for one of the lightest masts on the market.
  • Evolution Adapter Interface: Compatible with all foils using precision machined adapters

The Evolution Surf mast is best suited for riders who prioritize agility and glide in their foiling. The design caters to those seeking a responsive and smooth ride in the waves, emphasizing less drag for linking sets and more dynamic turns. Available in lengths from 65cm to 90cm assembled, Evolution Surf can serve a range of foiling disciplines including kite and wing with larger, slower, surfier foils.

We are doing our best to stock popular lengths on hand for immediate shipment. If the length you want is not available, contact us for lead time or purchase the CUSTOM DEPOSIT option with a note at checkout and we will assemble that length and invoice for final payment. Please note that final shipping charges for custom masts may be more or less depending on length and adapter selections. The shipping paid for at the time of the deposit is average and based on a mid-length mast. We will refund any shipping overage at the time of final invoice/payment. Feel free to contact us with any additional questions.

Don't take our word for it

I’ve been on several very stiff masts so I can feel if the mast is not stiff enough as I weight 190lbs. The Evolution was definitely stiff and clocked as fast as any other top end mast. You’ve got a solid product with the added bonus of adaptability to any foil.

The mast is amazing, I’m so very happy with it. Been DW a bunch and surfing it in waves. The increase in control is phenomenal. Zero ventilation and I’m so  much more confident in every aspect, its really impressive.

Evolution Cedrus mast is the stiffest and fastest mast I have ridden to date, using for wake, surf, and wing.  Outstanding build quality and design, the adapter fit is tight, and does not introduce any flex into the system.  As foil design advances quickly, it’s a huge benefit to be able to use the same mast with multiple brands of foils vs being stuck with a single system!

THE mast is very good! So stiff and so direct! THE release from the bottom turn is very very nice!

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 Surf retains stiffness with much less drag and sportier turns due to reduced thickness and wetted area throughout the hydrodynamically critical region of the mast.

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.

This design not only optimizes for performance with less material but also emphasizes safety, with the softer edges posing a minimal threat to both the rider and marine life in the event of a collision, underscoring Cedrus' commitment to responsible and sustainable hydrofoil technology.
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.
