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
Our Wing V2 is the result of our expertise and our Wing V1, combined with the feedback we have had from our customers. It takes all the best from our best-selling first Wing, but has been optimized through hundreds of days of testing on the water with riders of all backgrounds and sizes.
Freeride, surf, downwind, freestyle and race: our Wing V2 can do it all! Still just as compact, accessible and efficient, it will bring impeccable sailing comfort, whatever the day's conditions, your program and whether you are a beginner or an expert.
Indeed, our Wing V2 excels in its ease of use without compromising its stability and power. It is optimized to offer you a nice balance in the neutral position and an effective depower when necessary.
The flexible handles of the Wing V2 are light and offer the rigidity necessary to handle your Wing well in all positions. They allow you to easily pass manoeuvres while providing maximum control and comfort in gusts. With these long handles optimized for the stability of the Wing, you will be able to adjust the position of your hands to obtain more or less power in navigation while keeping a precise heading.
On our Wing V2, the surf handle is located in the axis of the central strut to offer you an extremely stable free-fly. On the smaller sizes, from 2.5m² to 3.5m², an extra Extra Depower handle will revolutionize your riding comfort in extreme wind conditions.
The wingspan is compact in large sizes, from 5.5m² to 7m², for more comfort in your manoeuvres.
The Wing V2 does not come with the leash. The leash will be offered as an option. We advise you to go with the following sizes:
- 140cm: For Ultra Wings from 2.5m to 5m
- 150cm: For Ultra Wings from 5.5m to 7m

Keep in mind that you need to adapt these recommendations to your local conditions, i.e. if you only have very light winds on your spot and only want to equip yourself with a single wing, then opt for the largest wing recommended (example, 5m² for -55kg), and vice versa if you only have strong winds. Also, depending on your level, the volume of your board and your pumping skills, you can adapt the surface of your wing. It is up to you!

For example, we have estimated that an “average” 75kg rider with an average board size can take off from 7kts with the V2 in 7m². Despite its large surface, it presents a compact shape and is easy to handle, especially for pumping. The same rider can fly up to nearly 40 knots by equipping himself with the 2.5m² with its Depower handle specially designed for strong winds.
Between these two extremes, the Wing V2 each have a wide range of use of around 15 knots. You will always find the Wing V2 you need, no matter the wind!
