History
“Hello, my name is Bruno SROKA, I am a three-time kitesurfing world champion, a developer of boards and foils for 16 years and founder of SROKA Company : smashing results, solid partnerships, and an absolutely delighted clientele.
Today I’m going to walk you through how we’ve designed an exceptional high-end mast and fuselage package to allow you to push every limit you can imagine.
But you know what? Weare not alone in this adventure.
We have at our side our engineer JB Marchand : a true virtuoso of hydrodynamics and PhD student in his field, designer of one of the fastest foils in the world.
And that’s not all! We are also fortunate to work with a state-of-the-art factory, which uses the best materials and the latest technology to manufacture our foils.
Thanks to these two collaborations, we have managed to create a unique foil, which combines strength, performance and design.
A reliable foil that lasts over time !”
Instead, listen to what customers, testers and ambassadors who have tested the ELITE foil in preview have to say:
"I loved this foil, I'm even going to say I really loved it. It's been so long since I've had such a kick out of sailing with a foil. The carbon assembly vis-Ã -vis the aluminium completely unbridles the foil. I was with the SROKA high aspect 1190 Speed foil. Everything is easier and it goes fast, even very fast. We had a good time with my friends who are used to going faster than me and believe me I was hot on their heels during the whole session. In the maneuvers it glides so well and quietly that everything is simpler. It's the biggest crush I've had in a long time."
In an ever-changing world, you’re always looking to push your limits on the water. But here’s the thing, you need a foil that meets your expectations…
Do you see the problem?
A mast cannot be thin, rigid, efficient AND light at the same time.
The trade-offs between lightness, rigidity and performance leave a lot to be desired…
And in this area, everything counts: the slightest bending makes you lose precision, turning your experience into an unpleasant and unstable dance at high speeds.
When the amount of carbon is reduced to lighten the mast, it leads to a decrease in its rigidity by increasing the proportion of foam inside the mast.
However, to have a foil of unparalleled comfort at high speed or with large front fins, the rigidity of the mast becomes paramount.
140 layers of M40J High Modulus Carbon Fiber, positioned at 0° and 45° to optimize mast torsion and bending.
The SROKA Elite foil is much more than just an answer to these frustrations.
It’s designed to give you uncompromising glide, unwavering stiffness and performance worthy of your ambitions.
We’ve put an end to the dilemma between thinness, stiffness and performance.
With:
We’ve created a foil that combines finesse and strength to give you a gliding experience that’s superior to anything you’ve experienced so far.
It’s not enough to have a steep mast in bending. Reducing twist is fundamental and our draping plan optimizes this aspect. The steeper a mast is with little twist, the more responsive your foil will be under your feet. Each interlocking and accessory has been designed to maintain maximum rigidity and reliability.
The result: no latency between your actions and the reactions of your foil. The foil reacts exactly as you expect.
The mast is constructed entirely of M40J High Modulus Carbon. It’s the same carbon that is used for aerospace, F1 or America’s Cup.
It is one of the only masts built with only M40 J (without foam or basic carbon). The result is a top-of-the-range mast with phenomenal performance.
You have a durable foil that will perform well for years to come.
Inspired by the profiles used in the América’s Cup, all parts of the mast have been reworked, improved and studied on specialized fluid mechanics software to facilitate the flow of water and reduce brakes.
This set makes this mast a technological feat that will give you an unparalleled glide.
The result: you accelerate easily and without resistance on a perfectly silent foil: gain more than 30% of glide compared to an aluminium mast.

Our carbon masts have several advantages over our aluminum mast. Some of these benefits include:
In summary, our carbon masts offer you a more enjoyable, high-performance and durable sailing experience than our aluminum mast. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or would like to order your carbon mast.
The SROKA Elite 14mm carbon foil is heavier than the average carbon mast because it is made of a lot of high-quality carbon, which gives it exceptional rigidity. The mast is solid and has no foam inside, making it stronger and more durable.
There’s no secret, such a slippery and stiff mast can’t be lighter, unless you use even better carbon fibers, which would make a much more expensive foil.
The extra weight is more than compensated for by its drag without resistance and perfect responsiveness.
For a lighter mast, choose the 16mm SOLO carbon mast.
No, the Elite carbon mast is not compatible with the S-Foil Aluminium fuselage.
However, in order for you to use your High Aspect, Classic, Control and stabilizer fins, a fuselage (Elite 100% Carbon or Elite Aluminum, as desired) is provided with the mast.
Carbon masts are more expensive than aluminum poles for several reasons. Here are some of those reasons:
The carbon mast does not require any specific maintenance, unlike the version with the aluminum fuselage. This is because carbon is a corrosion-resistant material that does not degrade with salt. So you don’t need to rinse your carbon mast after each session, nor do you need to clean it with a special product. Just store it in a dry place away from shocks.
On the other hand, the aluminum fuselage should be rinsed with fresh water after each session, to prevent the screw inserts from oxidizing.
If your carbon mast has minor damage, such as scratches, chips, or superficial cracks, we can help you repair it. We have the expertise and equipment to restore your carbon mast to its original appearance and performance. We can carry out the repair in our workshop or at home, depending on your convenience.
To contact us, you can call us on +33 (0)2 98 32 53 69 or send us an email at contact@srokacompany.com.
No, using a carbon mast does not require a high level of experience. You can use a carbon mast regardless of your level of practice, whether you are a beginner, intermediate or expert. The carbon mast will give you lighterness, responsiveness and performance, while being compatible with both Elite Carbon and Elite Aluminium fuselages. This will allow you to choose the fuselage that suits you best, according to your budget and preferences.
No, carbon masts are not sensitive to UV rays.

Full carbon foil:
The speed of a foil depends mainly on the resistance it encounters in the water.
This resistance, called drag, is influenced by the shape and size of the foil’s mast. The thinner the mast and with little rope, the less drag it creates and the faster it is.
The material of the mast plays a role in its performance. Carbon is a lighter and stiffer material than aluminum, which reduces the rope (width) and thickness of the mast without compromising its strength.
Thus, carbon masts are generally thinner than aluminum poles, making them faster.
However, it is important to check the characteristics of each mast before comparing their speed, as there may be exceptions.
