CLOUD IX Carbon Integrated MastUpdated an hour ago
Discover the Cloud IX Foil Drive Integrated Mast, purpose-built to combine the precision and performance of Cloud IX foil systems with the power of Foil Drive.
Designed and developed in Australia using precision-engineered carbon technology and 
advanced composite materials, the Integrated Mast delivers exceptional stiffness, clean hydrodynamics and seamless compatibility with Foil Drive hardware.
Whether you're powered up with Foil Drive or riding traditionally without assistance, the mast is designed to maintain the natural balance, glide and pumping performance of the Cloud IX foil system.
Cloud IX Foil Drive Integrated Mast
The Cloud IX Integrated Mast is built 30% stiffer than the Cloud IX Performance Mast, providing increased control, reduced flex and more efficient power transfer.
The fully integrated motor mount keeps the Foil Drive Motor Pod neatly incorporated into the mast, creating a clean, streamlined setup with minimal drag.
Optimised 175mm Motor Position
The Motor 
Pod is positioned 175mm (17.5cm) from the base of the mast.
This position has been carefully optimised to preserve the natural balance of the foil while providing the benefits of powered assistance.
Extensive testing with experienced riders helped refine the mast geometry for efficient performance across both powered and unpowered foiling.
The result is a mast that maintains:
- Efficient glide
- Excellent pumping performance
- Natural foil balance
- Precise handling
- Efficient power transfer
Why Choose the Cloud IX Integrated Mast?
Integrated Foil Drive System
A purpose-built motor mount provides a clean, streamlined connection between the mast and Foil Drive system, minimising drag while maximising power delivery.
Full-Carbon Construction
Advanced carbon construction delivers the stiffness, strength and responsiveness required for high-performance foiling.
Optimised Geometry
The 175 mm Motor Pod position has been refined through extensive testing to balance powered performance with natural foil characteristics.
Plug-and-Fly Simplicity
Designed for straightforward installation and compatibility with standard Foil Drive hardware, making it easy to get set up and on the water.
Powered or Unpowered
The Cloud IX Integrated Mast isn't limited to Foil Drive sessions. Its design allows riders to enjoy the same mast for traditional unpowered foiling, with the performance characteristics needed for glide and pumping.
Cloud IX Foil Compatibility
The Integrated Mast is fully compatible with Cloud IX front and rear wings, allowing riders to build a complete Cloud IX foil system around their preferred riding style.
From wing and surf foiling to SUP, downwind, dock starts and Foil Drive, Cloud IX systems are designed to maximise efficiency and performance on the water.
Handcrafted Performance
Cloud IX products are produced in small batches, with a focus on precision, quality and performance for riders who demand more from their equipment.
The Cloud IX Foil Drive Integrated 17.5 cm Mast brings together Cloud IX carbon performance and Foil Drive electric assistance in one purpose-built system.
Stiffer. Cleaner. More connected.
