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
Enter the V3 era. This new Takoon wing, an evolution of the famous V2, has been designed to offer you a unique experience in freeride and waveriding.
Whether you are a beginner touching a wing for the first time or an expert rider seeking effortless gliding and the ultimate connection with the waves, the V3 wing will open the doors to unparalleled sensations.
Resulting from precise design, the V3 is a wing so light that it becomes forgettable. It ensures smooth beginnings for novices while providing the balance and stability sought by seasoned riders to surf with the sensation of having nothing in their hands.
The Wing V3 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 Wings V3 from 3.5m to 5m
- 150cm: For Wings V3 from 5.5m to 6m

Our V3 wing is available in every half-square meter from 2m² to 6m², with an additional 7m² – in other words, you have a variety of options! But how do you choose? To assist you, check out our size guide. Whether you're looking to build a quiver with one, two, or three wings, you'll undoubtedly find V3 wings suitable for your size and the wind strength at your spot.
Keep in mind that you should adjust these recommendations to your local conditions. For example, if you only have very light winds at your spot and plan to equip yourself with a single wing, then lean towards the larger recommended size (for instance, 5m² for those under 55kg). Conversely, if you only experience strong winds, consider the smaller recommended size. Additionally, depending on your skill level, your board's volume, and your pumping abilities, you can adapt the wing's surface area. The choice is yours!

Compact shape
The Takoon V3 is designed not only for advanced riders seeking optimal performance but also for beginners looking to navigate with a compact wing. Thanks to its reduced wingspan, the V3 promises exceptional maneuverability in all conditions, whether in surfing, downwind riding, or performing maneuvers. This design ensures a 100% enjoyable glide, allowing you to focus on your wave or turns without any distractions, regardless of your skill level.
Lightness
With the V3, wingfoiling becomes synonymous with ultimate freedom. It's a wing so light and responsive that it will make you feel like an extension of your own body. The V3 instills confidence and fades into the background when needed, allowing you to focus on your technique or the wave you're riding. With its stability and balance in a neutral position, the V3 ensures that its wingtips will never touch the water during waveriding.
Shape and profile
The shape and profile of the V3 have been meticulously reworked to provide powerful acceleration and exceptional upwind performance. Regardless of your heading, the V3 will offer effortless traction and a unique sense of freedom.
Canopy
The V3 is designed to withstand the demands of passionate wingfoilers who are on the water every day. The panels allow optimal maintenance of the wing's shape for consistent performance even after prolonged use.
Materials
he leading edge and central batten are composed of DIMENSION POLYANT DP175LL Dacron fabric. It is a very strong and rigid polyester fabric with a lightweight gram weight. Globally recognized, DP175LL Dacron is one of the most proven materials on the market and falls into the higher-cost category. It is optimal for achieving excellent performance over an extended period.
As for the Wing V3's canopy, it is a 54g/m2 lightweight fabric. It is woven in triple Ripstop to enhance its rigidity and strength. Three large-diameter fibers reinforce the fabric at regular intervals and in two axes at 90°. This mesh structure helps prevent tears from spreading and secures the fabric against deformation.
Our bladders are made of thick 80-micron TPU for increased resistance. The bladders themselves and all accessories are heat-sealed to withstand high pressures.
Soft handles
For this V3, we chose to stick with soft handles to prioritize the wing's lightness. Without any hard elements, the soft handles help prevent damage to your equipment or injury in case of a crash. Nevertheless, they provide the necessary rigidity to handle your wing with ease and intuitiveness. Plus, they are extremely comfortable during gusts.
Design of the central strut
The S-shaped central strut of the V3 minimizes the drag of the wing while improving its ergonomics. With this shape, the rear handle is further back, allowing the rider a natural sheeting without excessive and uncomfortable bending of the rear arm.
Materials
Equipment
New inflation valve
We have upgraded our inflation valves to a SUP-type valve to facilitate pump setup and deflation. This valve provides a more reliable pressure reading on the pump and allows for more precise inflation. If you have a pump for the old Takoon valves, no worries! An adapter for your pump with this new valve is included with the wing.
One Pump System
To spend more time on the water than preparing your gear, we've kept our One Pump inflation system. This allows you to inflate more easily and quickly your wing, leading edge, and central strut, all at once, from a single valve.
Kevlar reinforcements
To extend the lifespan of your wing, Kevlar reinforcements are strategically placed on the most abrasion-prone areas, especially on the wingtips of the leading edge and central strut. Highly durable, Kevlar is also a lightweight material, minimizing the impact on the weight of the wing.
Neoprene under the freefly handle
Under the freefly handle, on the leading edge, you'll find a neoprene patch designed to enhance your comfort while surfing. Soft to the touch, this neoprene prevents snagging and irritations on your phalanges during all your wing manipulations, especially in freeflying.
Bag
Our V3 wing comes with its storage bag. Conveniently, it opens wide for easy storage of your wing. It also has attachments to carry your pump, as well as a storage pocket for your accessories or repair kit.
