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 HM 18 mm carbon foil mast is built for riders seeking the highest level of performance and precision in their foil setup. Combining an 18 mm profile with high modulus carbon fibers, it delivers exceptional stiffness, highly efficient energy transfer, and an extremely direct connection between rider, board, and foil.
Like the rest of the range, it features a full monobloc construction, with the plate and mast base integrated into a single molded carbon structure. This design removes any mechanical connection, reduces flex, and eliminates play, ensuring outstanding precision and responsiveness.
The use of high modulus carbon significantly increases both torsional and bending stiffness. On the water, this results in sharper control, faster reactions, more efficient pumping, and ultra-direct feedback in every maneuver. The 18 mm profile also adds structure and stability, allowing the mast to maintain maximum control even in powerful conditions or at high speeds.
Thanks to its high stiffness, the HM 18 mm is particularly suited for use with large front wings (from 1700 cm²) and for riders over 85 kg, who generate more load and require greater rigidity to maintain control and precision.
👉 Compared to the more accessible HR 18 mm, the HM 18 mm clearly positions itself as a performance option, ideal when demands increase (larger wings, higher power, heavier riders).
As a key structural component of the foil, the mast plays a major role in glide, comfort, support, and responsiveness. The HM 18 mm is the most performance-oriented option in the range, designed for advanced riders seeking uncompromising precision and direct feedback.
Each mast comes with a protective cover and a set of M8 × 25 mm screws, stored in an integrated pocket. It is compatible with all boards equipped with US Box rails.
Which mast should you choose?
HR 18 mm – 70 cm — €499
The durable and accessible choice. Forgiving and comfortable, with excellent value for versatile and intensive use.
HM 18 mm – 75 cm — €759
The performance choice. Maximum stiffness and absolute control, ideal for large wings (1700+) and riders over 85 kg.
HM V2 16 mm – 70 / 75 cm — €759
The glide choice. Slim profile for reduced drag, smooth acceleration, and fast feel.
Pump UHM 13 mm – 75 cm — €899
The ultimate choice. Ultra stiff and ultra fast, delivering minimal drag and top performance in pumping and glide.
