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

Discover the Glide Air, a wing foil board with no compromise!

The Glide Air is the perfect board for beginners and advanced riders at a very affordable price.

Easy to carry in a backpack, the Glide Air will allow you to travel lightweight and without any risk to your equipment while enjoying a board without compromising performance and comfort.

The Glide Air's shape is based on our bestseller rigid board the Glide, fitted in an inflatable version. With its length and relatively flat rocker, the Glide Air offers an excellent glide allowing early take-off and good stability thanks to the generous width.

The Glide Air is inflatable, sure, but also stiff! The reinforced drop-stitch combined with the pre-preg carbon plate on the hull provides a nice stiff feeling under the rider's feet for reactive riding. The Y-shaped foot strap will allow you to enjoy great freeride sessions.

Perfect for beginners, the Glide Air is a high-performance inflatable board offering a wide range of use. It is also ideal for experienced riders looking for a board to ride while travelling.

Besides being easy to carry and store, inflatable boards like the Glide Air have many advantages. They are lightweight, durable, and sturdy boards that withstand impacts and rarely get damaged.

Riding on an inflatable board is safe. For beginners who experience frequent falls and shin splints, the contact with an inflatable board will be more cushioned and less traumatic.

The Glide Air comes with a backpack that can hold its pump, which is also supplied. This dual-action inflation pump will allow you to inflate your board and kite effortlessly. And for those afraid of burning out on inflation before your session, don't worry: the 150L version of the Glide Air inflates to 17PSI in just 3 minutes!

The Glide Air, transportable without its backpack and inflatable in just a few minutes on the spot, will be the best ally for traveling freeriders who want to wing all over the world, without compromising on comfort and flight sensations.

For beginner riders, we recommend: the 4'10" 90L Glide Air for young riders and small builds under 60kg; the 5'3" 110L for riders up to 85kg; the 5'6" 145L for riders from 60 to 100kg; the 6'0" 160L for wingfoilers from 75 to 100kg and above; and finally, the 6'6" for the heavier builds from 85kg onwards. These two larger sizes (6'0" and 6'6") come with two lateral fins to provide better control of your board's heading. This way, you can take your time before takeoff without worrying about drifting too quickly downwind.
For more experienced riders who simply want an easy-to-transport board for exploring the world on wingfoil, the 4'10" 90L and 5'3" 110L Glide Air boards will be perfect for you. Just keep in mind that inflatable boards, due to their shape with rounded rails, can feel less stable than a rigid board of the same volume. Keep this in mind when choosing the size of your Glide Air, and we recommend opting for a slightly larger volume than your current rigid board.

The Glide Air benefits from the best inflatable board technologies. The board is made with reinforced woven dropstitch that ensures rigidity and shape retention. This technology, widely used in the recreational boating industry like inflatable stand-up paddles, offers a construction without compromise in terms of rigidity, durability, and performance.
Forget about dents and other impacts caused by the everyday life of a board! To improve the resistance of the Glide Air, the rails are reinforced with a double layer of PVC. Durable and robust, the Glide Air resists shocks and almost never gets damaged.
The inflatable part of the Glide Air is completed with a pre-impregnated carbon plate where the foil attaches. This plate, located on the hull of the board and under the rider's feet, allows the foil to be fixed and reinforces the overall rigidity. This carbon plate is here to offer the best rider/foil connection possible on an inflatable board, for precise handling and great flying sensations. Lightweight, this plate also features an integrated transport handle so you can carry your Glide V2 with one hand. Of course, this rigid carbon plate is not foldable, which is why we designed its length so that it’s not oversized and can fit into a reasonably sized bag, easy to transport.
This carbon plate is equipped with long Double Rails US Box. This length allows you to adjust the forward position of your foil in the rails to find the best position for your navigation comfort depending on the conditions.
To enhance your connection with the board and navigation comfort, the Glide Air is equipped with Y-shaped footstrap inserts (not included) as well as a large comfortable and grippy EVA pad.
For beginners, the two largest sizes of the Glide Air (6'0 and 6'6) come with two lateral fins to give you better control over the heading of your board before takeoff and also in wing-SUP. This way, you can take your time before flying, without stressing about drifting too fast on a downwind.
