Nouveau boîtier US en carbone moulé

Les Glide V3 sont équipées de notre nouveau boîtier US en carbone moulé, développé en interne par Takoon. Grâce à leur rigidité incomparable, ces nouveaux boitiers apportent une connexion au foil inégalée, une parfaite transmission des efforts et un feeling sans pareil.

Nos nouveaux box de foil sont fabriquées en carbone préimprégné, polymérisé à haute pression et haute température dans un moule en acier. Ce processus permet d’obtenir un boîtier avec des fibres longues de carbone bien compactés, ce qui le rend tout simplement indestructible et ultra rigide.

Grâce à cette construction, si l’on compare nos boitiers carbone aux boitiers classiques comme les Futures, le gain de rigidité et de robustesse est considérable. En effet, généralement fabriqués en plastique injecté chargé avec de la fibre de verre en fibres courtes, les boitiers classiques peuvent présenter de la déformation à l’effort. Sur l’eau, cela se ressent sous forme d’un temps de latence dans la réactivité du foil, que ce soit pour le pumping, pour carver, ou pour les manœuvres. Avec nos nouveaux boîtiers carbone, la transmission des efforts est instantanée et la connexion est ultra rigide.

Plus longs, ces nouveaux boitiers donnent beaucoup plus de liberté de placement de votre foil. Ils viennent en 2 tailles: 33 cm et 38 cm en fonction de la taille de la planche. Ils sont ainsi plus longs de 6 cm et 11 cm que les boîtiers futurs. Ainsi, vous pourrez affiner vos réglages, afin de trouver la position personnelle qui vous convient le plus.

Ils bénéficient aussi d’une double ouverture par rails pour un montage plus rapide : plus besoin de démonter entièrement vos boulons de la platine, il suffit simplement de desserrer les vis, de faire glisser le foil dans les ouvertures et de resserrer les vis et hop, le tour est joué.

Features

Shape

The wings of the Foil Starter have a low aspect-ratio, a compact shape, and a contained wingspan. This is the ideal shape for beginners: buoyant, stable, and reducing the possibilities of contact with the foil in the water. These wings have a rather round outline, with rounded tips, to start safely and limit the risks of injury. However, they still have a fairly performant profile: the Starter frontwings won't just carry you and then brake as soon as you want to accelerate; they are wings that offer good glide and will give you your first great sensations.

Materials

To make the Foil Starter as accessible as possible to beginner riders, we chose to manufacture the frontwings and stabilizer primarily in fiberglass with carbon reinforcements. Indeed, fiberglass is cheaper to produce than carbon fiber, and the rigidity it offers on these thicknesses of frontwing is more than sufficient for a beginner. We avoided making an over-qualitative construction in order to open the doors of our sport to the greatest number. All other elements of the foil are made of aluminum.

New Connection

To achieve our goals of strength and support, we rethought the connection with the front wing.

Modularity

Our new system ensures a solid connection, with movement axes perfectly controlled and very rigid.

Equipment

Complete Pack

When you purchase our Starter foil, you receive the complete setup ready to ride: the Starter front wing, the X-300 stabilizer, the mast, fuselage, as well as the plate and mast/fuselage connector. Additionally, a full set of screws and a tightening key are included to allow you to quickly assemble your foil and head straight to the water.

Mast

The Starter foil comes in a pack with our 85 cm aluminum mast. This mast height is the most versatile for beginners and progressing on all types of water surfaces.

Offering the best balance between price accessibility and rigidity, this mast ensures an excellent connection between the rider and the foil for the most direct sensations possible.

Sacrificial Anode

On the contact surfaces between carbon and aluminum, such as between the front wing and fuselage, there can be a potential difference that may cause aluminum corrosion.

To minimize this corrosion, our new V3 fuselage is equipped with a sacrificial anode. This part concentrates the corrosion on itself, thereby preventing wear on the fuselage and increasing its durability. The sacrificial anode can be easily replaced with a screw, but its lifespan is designed to accompany you for many years.
Stab Evo 300 - Takoon Kiteboarding

Stabilizer

The Evo 300 stab is the stabilizer intended for beginners. With a surface of 300 cm², it is designed to balance all the front wing surfaces of our Starter foil. Its large average chord and low aspect-ratio provide the foil with excellent longitudinal stability. Its raised winglets, which are non-sharp, improve lateral stability.

The Evo 300 acts like training wheels on a child's bike: it makes the foil as stable and balanced as possible, so the beginner rider can make their first runs with ease, without focusing too much on the fore-aft or left-right balance of their foil.
