Unifoil Katana Construction 750 Carbon Mast with Cover

The Unifoil Katana Construction 750 Carbon Mast is a one-piece carbon foil mast built for riders seeking a stiff, responsive connection between board and foil. Produced by Unifoil, a New Zealand-based hydrofoil brand, the Katana mast line draws its construction approach from Japanese sword-making principles — pairing high modulus carbon on the exterior with intermediate modulus carbon at the core. This layup is designed to deliver high stiffness while maintaining impact resistance and a higher breaking threshold than a pure high-modulus construction would allow.

At 750mm in length, this is the shortest option in the Katana range and ships with a protective mast cover included. The mast uses a slightly thicker chord and profile than many competing carbon masts, which reduces torsional twist and lateral flex under load.

• Length: 750 mm
• Weight: approximately 2.03 kg (4.48 lbs)
• Construction: One-piece high modulus / intermediate modulus carbon blend
• Mast-to-fuselage connection: Taper-lock
• Hardware: Slotted holes for countersunk titanium bolts (sold separately)
• Available lengths in the Katana line: 750, 830, 950 mm
• Includes: Mast cover

The 750mm length is well-suited to beginners and intermediate foilers who benefit from a shorter mast's added stability and lower ride height. A shorter mast reduces the consequences of breaching and makes it easier to maintain control while learning, yet the Katana's carbon construction means riders are not sacrificing stiffness or direct feel in the way an aluminum mast might.

Heavier riders or those flying larger wings who need maximum mast rigidity may want to evaluate the stiffer Unifoil Progression mast, but for the majority of developing and intermediate riders the Katana 750 provides a meaningful upgrade in response and energy transfer over entry-level alloy options. It is compatible with Unifoil's taper-lock fuselage system and pairs naturally with the brand's wing, surf, and prone foil setups.

Within Unifoil's mast catalog, the Katana sits as the brand's core carbon mast offering. It is available in three lengths — 750, 830, and 950mm — covering progression through to performance riding depths. Above it in the range is the Unifoil Progression mast, which uses an even thicker profile near the fuselage junction and a redesigned baseplate for greater stiffness, aimed at advanced riders and heavier pilots pushing into surf performance and downwind disciplines.

Compared to aftermarket carbon masts from brands like Cedrus or NoLimitz, the Katana's taper-lock connection and thicker chord give it a distinct identity: prioritizing secure attachment and torsional rigidity over the thinnest possible hydrodynamic profile. For riders already invested in the Unifoil ecosystem, the Katana 750 is the natural first carbon mast step up from the brand's aluminum option.
