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 Glide Air Midlength is an inflatable wingfoil board designed for incredible glide, versatile performance across all riding styles, and unbeatable portability.
With its refined shape and lightweight construction, it takes off effortlessly, accelerating smoothly and naturally. Whether in freeride, freefly, surf, or jump mode, it excels in all conditions—offering that extra touch of glide that makes all the difference.
Its mid-length format strikes the perfect balance between downwind boards and compact shapes—not too long, not too short, just the right dimensions for maximum fun.
Built with Woven Dropstitch Reinforced technology—the densest, highest-quality dropstitch on the market—it delivers a solid and durable foundation. Carbon stringers on the deck and hull, an exclusive innovation in the wingfoil market, further enhance its rigidity.
This advanced construction ensures exceptional stiffness, already proven on our Escape Air, providing sharp, precise, and ultra-responsive glide sensations.
With a 100% prepreg carbon plate for foil support, the Glide ML remains both durable and rigid while maintaining the accessibility of an inflatable board. This rigidity, combined with its shape, guarantees outstanding glide and exceptionally quick take-offs.
Portable & Convenient: Ultra-light and easy to store, this inflatable board is effortless to transport. It also features an integrated carrying handle, allowing you to carry both the board and foil with one hand.

Construction
The Glide Air Midlength is built with reinforced woven dropstitch, ensuring both rigidity and shape retention. This technology, widely used in the recreational boating industry for inflatable stand-up paddles, provides uncompromising construction in terms of stiffness, durability, and performance.
To further enhance rigidity, we’ve added carbon stringers on both the deck and hull. These stringers play a crucial role in maintaining stiffness, which directly improves take-off efficiency and power transfer to the foil. Additionally, to withstand impacts and repeated board re-entries, the rails are reinforced with a double layer of PVC.
Boxes with dual opening
Our boxes feature a dual rail opening for quicker assembly. No need to fully remove the mounting bolts—simply loosen the screws, slide the foil into the openings, and tighten them back.
Shape
The shape and outline of our Glide Air Midlength are inspired by SUP race boards: long, sleek, and voluminous, delivering exceptional glide and quick take-off. The pointed nose, with a slight rocker, enhances forgiveness on touch-downs and prevents nose-diving. Meanwhile, the pin tail reduces drag, providing speed and maneuverability—so you can take off before everyone else.
Rigidity
The Glide Air Midlength may be inflatable, but it remains impressively rigid! Its reinforced woven dropstitch construction and pre-preg carbon plate on the hull provide excellent stiffness underfoot, ensuring precise and responsive handling.
Carbon Plate
The foil is mounted onto the carbon plate of the Glide Air Midlength. It features an elongated Double Rails US Box, allowing for precise foil adjustment to optimize its position based on your size, riding style, and conditions. The box also incorporates a dual rail opening system, making assembly faster without the need to fully remove the bolts. Additionally, the carbon plate includes an integrated carrying handle, enabling you to easily carry the board and foil with one hand, keeping your other hand free for your wing.
Bag
The Glide Air Midlength comes with a double-action pump and a sturdy transport backpack. With its large pocket, this durable bag will accompany you on all your adventures, from your local spot to the other side of the world.
Inflation Valve
The Glide Air Midlength is equipped with a SUP-style inflation valve, ensuring easy use and quick deflation. This valve provides a reliable pressure reading and precise inflation. Universal in the stand-up paddle world, it also allows you to use an electric pump if preferred!
Footstrap Inserts
For those who prefer to ride with straps, Y-shaped strap inserts are included on our Glide Air Midlength. Our Takoon neoprene straps are available as an optional accessory in the Accessories section. Comfortable and lightweight, they provide excellent support and a high level of riding comfort.
EVA Pad
3.5mm: This is the thickness of the EVA pad on the Glide Air Midlength. Made of multiple pieces and grooved, it provides enhanced grip and comfort while riding, along with improved water drainage on the deck.
