OUR HYDROFOIL MASTS: CONSIDERING THE MAST IS THE SPINE OF THE HYDROFOIL BODY, THIS YEAR WE FOCUSED ON A TOTAL REDESIGN OF THE RANGE.
TWO ARE THE FACTORS WHERE WE HAVE BEEN CONCENTRATING OUR WORK: LATERAL AND TORSIONAL STIFFNESS (FLEX AND TWIST) OF THE MAST.
MEASURING LATERAL STIFFNESS (or mast flex):
Once the mast is attached to the wall, we measure its distance to a bar placed parallel to the mast. Then we attach a 30 kgs weight to the end of the mast and measure the new distance from the bar. The difference is the SIDE FLEX. A higher distance number will indicate a mast with lower lateral stiffness (softer mast to side pressure).
