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 is our new wing foil board specially designed for light winds.
The Ultra Glide responds to the recent trend of downwind SUP and prone foiling. With the growing popularity of longer, more streamlined boards, this narrower shape aims to reduce surface drag on the bottom, allowing for faster launch even in light winds.
It results from many hours of rigorous research, development, and testing by our passionate experts. We wanted to create a board that pushes the limits of light wind sailing by offering an exceptional gliding experience, even in unfavorable conditions. It has many advantages for surfing waves in light wind conditions. Its ability to glide early, maneuverability, and versatility make this board ideal for riders who want to enjoy the waves even when the wind is light.
Takoon's Ultra Glide is suitable for experienced to expert-level users. It has been designed to meet the requirements of experienced riders who want to navigate in light wind conditions and maximize their riding experience.
We advise expert riders to choose a board with 10L more volume than their weight, and for confirmed riders, to go with 20L more.
Ultra Glide Key Features:
Optimized design: The Ultra Glide features a specially designed shape to maximize lift and reduce drag. Its elegant shape and aerodynamic contours allow for excellent penetration through the air, offering smooth and efficient navigation.
Lightweight construction: The board is made from high-end materials, combining strength and lightness. This combination allows for exceptional maneuverability and ease of control, even in the lightest winds.
Versatility: Although the Ultra Glide is specially designed for light wind, it remains versatile and can also be used in more sustained wind conditions. This allows you to enjoy your board, regardless of the weather conditions.
With the Ultra Glide, no more water infiltrations! The board is durable thanks to its hydrophobic foam core and carbon construction. These materials will withstand the challenges of a board's life and can be easily repaired. Your ULtra Glide will accompany you in your progress and over time!
To meet the needs of each rider, we offer five sizes and volumes. Whatever your size, you will find the Ultra Glide you need thanks to our wide range of seven boards, ranging from 75L to 100L.
At Takoon, we offer unique customization in the series board industry: custom colors! This personalization is produced on demand for an additional €70, with delivery between 2 and 3 weeks from the day of the order.
The Ultra Glide is "made in Europe," and we are proud to produce all our rigid boards in Portugal, in Peniche. Being close to our suppliers, all our raw materials, from carbon to pads, are sourced from Europe. There is one exception: the boxes from the Future brand, which bring a Californian touch to our boards.
Our local production, in close proximity to our engineers and shaper, allows us to be highly efficient in R&D. This enables us to design, produce, and test quickly. We have chosen to invest almost exclusively in the innovation and quality of our boards, which explains our direct sales system: we control all our costs, and you benefit from very competitive prices.
