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 HR 16 mm – 85 cm carbon mast offers excellent stiffness and an optimized chord to immediately improve the performance of your Takoon foil, while remaining accessible.
Its fully monobloc construction, integrating the top plate and mast base, eliminates any mechanical play and strengthens the connection between the board and the foil. Combined with an optimized profile, this design reduces drag and delivers smooth glide, easier take-offs, increased speed, and natural maneuverability.
As a central element of the foil, the mast directly influences glide, comfort, and control under your feet. The HR 16 mm carbon mast provides effective stiffness, ensuring excellent control with wings under one meter in span, while maintaining stability and forgiveness with larger wings, even in varied conditions.
Built from high-stiffness carbon, this 85 cm mast offers an ideal balance between performance, comfort, and accessibility. Its profile and durability make it a true upgrade for riders looking to improve their setup without compromising on budget.
Each mast is delivered with a protective cover and a set of M8 x 25 mm screws, neatly stored inside. It is compatible with all boards equipped with US box rails.
Which mast should you choose?
Takoon masts come in three constructions, offering a clear progression in stiffness and performance:
HR (High Resistance): forgiving, comfortable, and accessible
HM (High Modulus): stiffer, higher performance, with excellent balance
UHM (Ultra High Modulus): ultra stiff, direct, and uncompromising
🟢 HR 16 mm – 85 cm – €549
The accessible choice. Stiff yet forgiving, comfortable and easy to ride. 👉 Freeride, versatility, progression
🟡 HM 16 mm – 75 / 80 / 85 cm – €759 – €789
The best compromise. More stiffness and performance while maintaining comfort. 👉 Intermediate to advanced riders, carving, speed
🟠 HM 13 mm – 75 / 80 / 85 cm – €855 – €875
The performance choice. Thinner profile for more speed, glide, and precision, with increased demands. 👉 Advanced riders, speed, aggressive carving
🔴 UHM 13 mm – 75 / 80 / 85 cm – €955 – €975
The high-performance choice. Ultra stiff and very direct, maximizing speed and control. 👉 Demanding riders, all-around performance
🔴🔴 UHM 12.5 mm – 75 / 80 / 85 cm – €1079 – €1099
The ultimate choice. Minimal drag, maximum speed, and pure sensations. 👉 Expert riders, downwind, extreme performance
👉 The higher you go in the range, the thinner, stiffer, and more performant the mast becomes… but also more demanding.

Features
Which mast should you choose?
The thinner and higher modulus the mast, the more it gains in speed, control, and responsiveness.
• HR (High Resistance) : forgiving, comfortable and accessible
• HM (High Modulus) : stiffer, higher performance, with an excellent balance
• UHM (Ultra High Modulus) : ultra stiff, direct and uncompromising
Monobloc construction
The top plate and mast base are molded in one piece with the mast, eliminating any connection and therefore any play.
The result is an ultra-stiff structure, delivering exceptional responsiveness and highly precise control.
Single size
It can also be used for surf/SUP foil in spots with sufficient depth, as well as for downwind, providing greater margin for error in this discipline.
Protective cover included
Thanks to its velcro closure system and thick padding, your mast is securely held and protected from everyday impacts.
