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.
Presentation
The Ultra Glide returns with a full sandwich PVC Carbon construction, combining strength, lightness, rigidity, and responsiveness. Specially designed for wingfoiling in light winds, it aligns with the growing trend of downwind SUP and prone foiling. Its narrow shape minimizes drag and enables quick take-offs, even in challenging conditions.
The Ultra Glide delivers exceptional glide and outstanding maneuverability, making it ideal for surfing waves in light wind. Versatile and efficient, it performs well in light conditions while remaining reliable as the wind picks up.
Designed for advanced and expert riders, it caters to experienced users looking to elevate their performance. Experts are advised to choose a volume 10L above their weight, while advanced riders should opt for 20L more.
The Ultra Glide is equipped with an in-house-developed molded carbon US box, offering enhanced rigidity and optimal performance, setting a new standard in innovation.

Molded carbon US boxes
The Ultra Glide boards are equipped with our molded carbon US boxes. Ultra-rigid and indestructible, they provide an unmatched foil connection, perfect power transfer, and a unique feel.
Made from pre-preg carbon and molded under high pressure and temperature, these boxes outperform traditional injection-molded plastic models. The result: no deformation, immediate responsiveness, and optimal performance for pumping, carving, and maneuvers.
Extended carbon boxes with dual openings
The carbon boxes on the Ultra Glide, now longer at 38 cm (11 cm longer than Futures boxes), offer unmatched placement freedom. You can adjust your settings with precision, without hitting the front or rear stops, ensuring a position perfectly suited to your style.
Thanks to their dual rail openings, assembly is quick and easy: simply loosen the screws, slide the foil, and tighten. Less time setting up means more time on the water!
These rigid boxes enhance your sensations and control, making the entire setup more responsive, giving the feel of using a smaller front wing. Become one with your foil and experience amplified performance!
Shape
The Ultra Glide features a shape specifically designed to maximize lift and reduce drag. Its sleek design and aerodynamic contours ensure excellent air penetration, providing smooth and efficient navigation.
Equipment
EVA Pad
3.5mm: that's the thickness of the EVA pad on our Ultra Glide. Made of multiple pieces and grooved, it provides even more grip and comfort during navigation, while ensuring better water drainage on the deck.
Footstrap inserts
For those who prefer riding with straps, multiple footstrap inserts are available on the Ultra Glide. Our Takoon neoprene straps, sold separately, provide excellent support and comfort during navigation. Comfortable and lightweight, they are available in single or V configurations.
Carrying handle
To make handling and carrying easier, the Ultra Glide is equipped with an ergonomic handle located on the hull. This allows you to carry your board and foil with one hand, leaving the other free to carry your wing.
