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.

Our VX wing is available in every half-square meter from 3.5m² to 5.5m² – in other words, you have plenty 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 VX 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, 4m² 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!

Dihedral, profile, and optimized leading edge
The VX wing features a carefully designed dihedral and profile that ensure acceleration, stability, and control in all conditions.
Nonetheless, the central sections of the leading edge maintain a significant diameter to guarantee excellent rigidity. This rigidity allows for harnessing the full power of the wing while providing expert riders with maximum efficiency and control.
Thin wingtips
The VX wing features slender wingtips that minimize drag and promote acceleration. During gusts, these wingtip fins allow the wing to breathe by flexing, thereby enhancing stability, maneuverability, and overall comfort of the wing in all conditions.
Canopy
Constructed from two different and durable types of sailcloth, the VX is designed to withstand the demands and stresses of high-level wingfoiling. The panels closest to the leading edge, experiencing minimal deformation stresses, are made of lightweight sailcloth, while the mid-section and trailing edge panels are composed of heavier but more robust sailcloth. This configuration ensures optimal maintenance of the wing's shape, providing consistent performance even after prolonged use.
Materials
The leading edge and central batten are made of Dacron from the DIMENSION POLYANT DP175LL brand. It is a very strong and rigid polyester fabric with a lightweight grammage. It is a global reference for Dacron, being one of the most proven and expensive materials in this category. It is optimal for achieving excellent performance over an extended period.
As for the canopy of the Wing VX, the panels closest to the leading edge are made of a 54g/m2 spinnaker fabric, making it very light. It is triple Ripstop woven to stiffen and reinforce it. Three large-diameter fibers strengthen the fabric at regular intervals and in two axes at 90°. This mesh network prevents tears from spreading and also secures fabric deformations.
The panels in the middle and at the trailing edge are made of a canopy fabric with a higher and robust grammage. We use the 85g Heavy double ripstop canopy, allowing optimal maintenance of the wing's shape for consistent performance even after prolonged use.
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.
interchangeable Handles
Soft handles, rigid handles, or boom? All three? With the VX, 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.
Central strut design
The S-shaped central strut of the VX aims to minimize the wing's drag while improving its ergonomics. Indeed, with this shape, the rear handle is positioned farther back, allowing the rider a natural sheeting motion without excessive and uncomfortable bending of the rear arm.
Tension Spreader
The Tension Spreader is a reinforcement made of monofilm that stiffens the luff or tack point of the sail. With this reinforcement, tensions in the canopy and on the trailing edge are better controlled, ensuring optimal performance and increased longevity of the wing.
Materials
Equipment
New inflation valve
We have upgraded our inflation valves to a SUP-style valve, making it easier to set up the pump and deflate the equipment. This valve ensures a more reliable pressure reading on the pump and provides more accurate 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 have kept our One Pump inflation system, allowing you to inflate your wing, leading edge, and central strut more easily and quickly, all at once, from a single valve.
Neoprene under the freefly handle
Under the freefly handle, on the leading edge, you will find a neoprene patch designed to enhance your comfort in surfing. Soft to the touch, this neoprene prevents snagging and irritation on your fingers during all your wing manipulations, especially in freefly.
Bag
Our VX wing comes with its storage bag. Convenient, it opens widely to allow 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
