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

Shape
The wings of the Foil Starter have a low aspect ratio, a compact shape, and a moderate wingspan. This is the ideal design for beginners: it is buoyant, stable, and reduces the chances of contact with the foil in the water. These wings have a fairly round outline with rounded tips to ensure safety and minimize the risk of injury. Despite their beginner-friendly design, the front wings of the Starter are still quite performant. They won’t just lift you up and then slow you down when you want to accelerate; these wings provide good glide and will give you your first great sensations on the water.
Materials
To make the Foil Starter as accessible as possible for beginner riders, we chose to manufacture the front wings and stabilizer primarily out of fiberglass with carbon reinforcements. Fiberglass is indeed cheaper to produce than carbon fiber, and the rigidity it provides at these front wing thicknesses is more than sufficient for a beginner. We avoided creating an overly high-end construction to open the doors of our sport to as many people as possible. All other parts of the foil are made of aluminum.
New Connection
To achieve our goals of strength and stability, we redesigned the connection with the front wing. Our new system ensures a solid connection, with perfectly controlled and rigid axes of movement. This new assembly also guarantees extreme durability for the front wings, making it ideal for riders who want to jump and practice freestyle.
Modularity
The Starter will support your progression thanks to its modularity: all wings and stabs from the 2024 range X-Glide v2, HS-Glide, XS-Glide, Flare, Swell, and Pump are compatible with the fuselage of this pack.
