Axis Aluminum 19mm Base Plate

The Axis Aluminum 19mm Base Plate is a CNC-machined mounting plate that connects an Axis 19mm mast to a foil board. Manufactured by New Zealand-based Axis Foils, it serves as the interface between the board's track or bolt pattern and the mast, using high-grade aluminum that is 3D CNC-machined and anodized for corrosion resistance. The base plate is compatible with the full range of Axis 19mm mast setups and works across multiple foiling disciplines, including wing foiling, kite foiling, prone foiling, SUP foiling, surf foiling, wake foiling, and downwind foiling.

Multiple mounting holes across the plate allow riders to adjust fore-and-aft mast positioning on the board to fine-tune balance and ride characteristics. A sliding-end design lets you loosen the M8 bolts and slide the plate free without fully removing the fasteners from the board — a practical detail for quick setup and breakdown at the beach.

• Material: High-grade aluminum, CNC-machined and anodized
• Mast compatibility: Axis 19mm mast diameter
• Mast-to-plate fasteners: 2 × M8 × 35 mm star-recessed screws
• Design origin: New Zealand

This base plate suits any rider running the Axis 19mm aluminum mast system, from beginners assembling their first complete foil setup to experienced riders who need a spare or replacement plate. Because it is a universal mounting component within the Axis ecosystem, skill level and riding style are less of a factor than equipment compatibility — if you ride an Axis 19mm mast, this is the plate that secures it to your board.

The adjustable positioning holes make it particularly useful for riders who switch between boards or disciplines frequently, since you can dial in the mast position for different board shapes and foiling styles without needing a different plate.

Within the Axis product range, this aluminum base plate sits at the entry-level end of the mounting hardware options. Axis sells its carbon mast systems — the Power Carbon, Power Carbon High Modulus, and PRO Ultra High Modulus lines — with base plates bundled in, so those riders receive a plate as part of the package. The standalone aluminum base plate is primarily sold as a companion to the Axis 19mm aluminum masts (available in lengths from 68 cm to 105 cm, priced roughly $100–$140) or as a direct replacement part.

There is no separately sold carbon base plate in the Axis catalog; riders who want a carbon mast connection upgrade move to one of the complete carbon mast-and-plate packages. For riders committed to the aluminum mast setup, this plate is the sole option, and at $109 it represents a straightforward, durable mounting solution that shares the same precision engineering found across the broader Axis foil hardware lineup.
