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 Ultra era. This new Takoon wing, an evolution of the famous V2 Ultra, has been designed to offer you a unique experience of wingfoil freeriding and waveriding.
Whether you're a beginner touching an wing for the first time, or an expert rider looking for effortless glide and the ultimate connection with the waves, the V3 Ultra wing will open the doors to unparalleled sensations for you.
Our V3 Ultra benefits from our new interchangeable system: delivered with our ultra-lightweight soft handles, you can also optionally order our carbon handles and the pre-impregnated carbon wishbone.
As a result of precise design, the V3 Ultra is a truly lightweight wing, even if you opt for the rigid carbon handles. It ensures smooth beginnings for novices, while offering the maneuverability and stability sought after by more advanced riders. You will ride with the sensation of having nothing in your hands, and the additional responsiveness offered by the carbon handles will allow you to easily get back to the peak.
The V3 Ultra Wing does not come with the leash. The leash will be offered as an option. We recommend the following sizes:
- 140cm: For V3 Ultra Wings from 2m to 5m
- 150cm: For V3 Ultra Wings from 5.5m to 7m

Our V3 Ultra 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 Ultra 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 Ultra 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 Ultra 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 Ultra, wingfoiling becomes synonymous with ultimate freedom. It's a wing so light and responsive that it will give you the impression of being an extension of your own body. The V3 Ultra instills confidence and fades away when necessary, allowing you to focus on your technique or the wave you're surfing. With its stability and balance in a neutral position, the V3 Ultra assures you that its wingtips will never touch the water during waveriding.
Shape and profile
The shape and profile of the V3 Ultra have been meticulously reworked to provide powerful acceleration and exceptional upwind performance. Regardless of your heading, the V3 Ultra will offer you effortless traction and a unique sense of freedom.
Canopy
The V3 Ultra is designed to withstand the demands of passionate wingfoilers who are on the water every day. The panels ensure optimal maintenance of the wing's shape for consistent performance even after prolonged use.
Modularity
Soft handles, rigid handles, or boom? All three? With the V3 Ultra, you have the choice! Thanks to our new interchangeable system, you have options. You can now customize your wing according to your preferences or daily program. The VX comes standard with soft handles, and you can optionally order rigid handles and the boom.
Design of the central strut
The S-shaped central strut of the V3 Ultra 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 inflatation 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, don't worry! An adapter for your pump with this new valve is provided with the wing.
One Pump System
To spend more time on the water than preparing your gear, we have retained our One Pump inflation system, allowing you to inflate your wing's leading edge and central batten more easily and quickly, all from a single valve.
Our bladders are made of thick 80-micron TPU for increased resistance. The bladders themselves and all accessories are thermowelded to withstand high pressures. The structure consists of two independent bladders: one for the leading edge and one for the batten.
Connected by the One Pump system, you can inflate them simultaneously through the valve on the leading edge. The One Pump clip allows you to separate the airflow between the two bladders at the end of inflation. This provides you with a double safety chamber during navigation and ease of replacement when needed.
Kevlar reinforcments
To extend the lifespan of your wing, Kevlar reinforcements are strategically placed on the most abrasion-prone areas, particularly on the wingtips of the leading edge and central strut. Highly robust, 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 during surfing. Soft to the touch, this neoprene prevents snagging and irritation on your fingers during all your wing manipulations, especially in freefly.
Bag
Our V3 Ultra wing comes with its storage bag. Convenient, 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.
