The familiar stiff 19mm aluminium mast profile remains, but the latest generation is now \u003cstrong\u003eblack anodised, internally sealed and redesigned around AXIS's new black mast connection system\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eAvailable in \u003cstrong\u003e45cm, 60cm, 68cm, 75cm, 82cm, 90cm and 105cm\u003c\/strong\u003e lengths, we offer every size from this single product page.

Excessive flex or twist can make a foil feel vague, particularly with bigger-span wings, heavier riders or when carving harder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eAXIS quotes its 19mm aluminium section as delivering around a \u003cstrong\u003e2.24-times stiffness improvement compared with many conventional 15mm aluminium mast sections\u003c\/strong\u003e. The practical result is a mast that feels unusually solid for an aluminium system, with clear feedback through turns and good control of larger front wings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThat is why we would not regard this simply as the 'budget mast'. For many AXIS riders it may be all the mast they actually need. Aluminium carries a weight and drag penalty compared with the best carbon options, but in return you get excellent stiffness, durability, a huge choice of lengths and a much lower replacement cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eIt is particularly well suited to riders who want to build a versatile AXIS quiver. Owning, for example, a shorter surf or pump mast alongside a longer wing mast is far more achievable at aluminium-mast pricing, and changing between mast lengths does not require you to replace the remainder of your foil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhich AXIS 19mm mast length should I choose?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eMast length changes much more than simply how high you fly. A shorter mast is easier to learn on, works better in shallow water and reduces the consequences of breaching or touching down. A longer mast gives you more room to deal with chop, steeper swell, higher speeds and bigger changes in board height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctable style=\"width:100%; border-collapse:collapse;\"\u003e\n      \u003cthead\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n          \u003cth style=\"text-align:left; padding:8px; border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n          \u003cth style=\"text-align:left; padding:8px; border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eBest suited to\u003c\/th\u003e\n          \u003cth style=\"text-align:left; padding:8px; border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eOur view\u003c\/th\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003c\/thead\u003e\n      \u003ctbody\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n          \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; vertical-align:top;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e45cm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n          \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; vertical-align:top;\"\u003eFirst flights, teaching and very shallow water\u003c\/td\u003e\n          \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; vertical-align:top;\"\u003eThe easiest mast on which to understand foil height control, but most riders will progress beyond it fairly quickly.\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n          \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; vertical-align:top;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e60cm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n          \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; vertical-align:top;\"\u003eLearning, shallow-water surf, wake and early progression\u003c\/td\u003e\n          \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; vertical-align:top;\"\u003eA very useful progression mast where 45cm is becoming restrictive but a full-height mast still feels unnecessary.\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n          \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; vertical-align:top;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e68cm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n          \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; vertical-align:top;\"\u003eProne surf, SUP foil, wake and shallower venues\u003c\/td\u003e\n          \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; vertical-align:top;\"\u003eA great short all-round mast for riders who regularly foil over sandbanks, reefs or lower-tide locations.\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n          \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; vertical-align:top;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e75cm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n          \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; vertical-align:top;\"\u003eProne, SUP, pump, dock start, wake and crossover wing use\u003c\/td\u003e\n          \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; vertical-align:top;\"\u003eProbably the most versatile shorter mast in the range.

The \u003cstrong\u003e75cm\u003c\/strong\u003e is particularly good for surf, SUP, pump and riders who value a slightly shorter, easier-to-control setup. The \u003cstrong\u003e82cm\u003c\/strong\u003e is an excellent crossover mast and arguably the strongest single-mast choice for someone mixing surfier riding with wing foiling. The \u003cstrong\u003e90cm\u003c\/strong\u003e remains the obvious choice for riders primarily wing foiling in open water or choppier conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe 45cm and 60cm sizes are more progression or shallow-water specific, while the 105cm is aimed at riders with a clear requirement for maximum clearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eThe new black mast connection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eOne of the most interesting updates is at the mast-to-base connection. When the new black mast is paired with the latest AXIS black base plate, a \u003cstrong\u003etapered mast bevel and split cross-stabilising bolt\u003c\/strong\u003e help lock the two components together more securely. The aim is greater overall system stiffness, increased strength and a more durable connection over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eIf you are building a completely new setup, pair the mast with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/axis-foil-base-plate\"\u003eAXIS Foil Base Plate\u003c\/a\u003e. Riders who already own a previous-generation \u003cstrong\u003e19mm AXIS base plate\u003c\/strong\u003e do not necessarily need to replace it: the new black mast is backwards compatible with previous 19mm AXIS base plates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e compatibility does not work in both directions. The latest black mast works with previous-generation 19mm AXIS base plates, but the redesigned new-generation black base plate is not intended for use with the previous red 19mm aluminium mast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eMast-to-fuselage compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe aluminium mast requires a Doodad between the mast and fuselage. For conventional compatible AXIS fuselages, use the appropriate \u003ca href=\"\/products\/axis-mast-adaptor-doodad\"\u003eAXIS Mast Adaptor Doodad\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe new black aluminium system has also expanded compatibility to AXIS's larger FATTY platform. If you want to combine the 19mm aluminium mast with an AXIS FATTY fuselage, you will need the \u003cstrong\u003ededicated FATTY Doodad\u003c\/strong\u003e; the standard Doodad is not interchangeable with the FATTY version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eIf you are uncertain which Doodad you require, browse our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/axis\"\u003eAXIS foil components\u003c\/a\u003e or contact us before ordering. AXIS is extremely modular, but getting the mast, Doodad and fuselage interfaces correct is important.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eAluminium or carbon?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe 19mm aluminium mast is the value and practicality choice, but it should not be confused with an entry-level mast that has to be replaced as soon as you improve. Its stiffness means plenty of very capable riders continue using aluminium, particularly with larger foils where a solid connection is important.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eMoving to carbon starts to make more sense when reducing weight and drag becomes a priority. Pump, downwind and higher-performance surf riders can particularly notice the reduced swing weight and cleaner feel of a good carbon mast, while faster wing foilers may appreciate the more refined response of AXIS's higher-specification carbon options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eIf you are deciding between them, see our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/axis-carbon-vs-aluminium-masts-explained\"\u003eAXIS Carbon vs Aluminium Mast guide\u003c\/a\u003e or browse the complete \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/masts\"\u003efoil mast range\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctable style=\"width:100%;

The 82cm offers an excellent balance of clearance and manoeuvrability, while 90cm gives more room in chop, swell and powered riding.
