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 infinite glide of the Escape, combined with the practicality of the inflatable.
The Escape Air is the inflatable version of our Takoon Escape. It's a great weapon for ultra-light winds in Wing foil and for downwinds. We know that shapes dedicated to downwind are incredibly efficient: their glide is incomparable, their take-off easy, and their low wind range pushes all limits.
Transporting and storing a rather thick, but above all, 7-foot-long rigid board is immediately more constraining. That's why we designed the Escape Air; it fits into a bag and inflates in 2 minutes. The inflatable technology allows you to store your folded board in its suitcase, in a corner of a closet, and to transport it wherever you can imagine: by car, plane, or train. With the Escape Air, it's possible! Also, in the hold of an airplane, you can travel stress-free for your board; it's risk-free. Moreover, the board comes with its transport backpack.
The inflatable technology of our Escape Air also allows for a compromise between performance and price. Designed with the best materials, such as the densest and highest-quality Woven Dropstitch reinforced. Produced in one of the best factories in the world, we are confident that the bonds of our product will last for years without any leaks or deformation.
We are proud to be the first to offer carbon stringers on the deck and hull of an inflatable Wingfoil board. This innovation will provide you with unparalleled rigidity in the market.
With our 100% carbon pre-preg plate to support the foil, the Escape Air is a durable and rigid inflatable board. This rigidity, combined with its shape, allows it to have exceptional glide for really fast take-offs. And all this at the affordable price of inflatable boards.
Beyond this inflatable construction, with the Escape Air, you will find (re)discover everything that made our Escape successful. No need to over-tack to take off in light winds; in fact, you can even downsize your foil and take off with the same ease. Its very elongated and thin shape indeed optimizes glide and reduces drag, and its nose rocker brings a forgiving aspect.
In flight, the Escape Air will offer you a smooth, efficient, and sensational navigation experience."

In winging, the Escape Air offers a noticeable ease of use, thanks to its generous volume and elongated shape. In SUP foil, paddling, it becomes much more technical, especially in chop and true downwind conditions. A good level of practice is therefore necessary to fully enjoy its performance in these more demanding conditions.

But beware! Keeping balance on your knees in chop will require some skill. If you opt for larger volumes, the board will be more accessible. For those used to downwind shapes, keep in mind that an inflatable board is always a bit more unstable in archimedes than a rigid board of the same dimensions. This should be taken into account when making your choice.
