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 13 mm carbon masts take a step forward in performance and glide. Thanks to a monobloc construction integrating the top plate and mast base, combined with High Modulus (HM) carbon, they deliver high stiffness while maintaining essential tolerance for control.
This seamless design eliminates any mechanical play and strengthens the connection between the board and the foil. The result is faster take-offs, smooth glide, increased speed, and precise handling, while remaining accessible.
As a key element of the foil, the HM 13 mm mast is designed to provide efficient power transfer while maintaining comfort underfoot. Its high modulus carbon construction ensures excellent stability at high speed, precise control even with powerful wings, and a progressive, predictable responsiveness. The result is a natural balance between performance and forgiveness.
With its slim 13 mm profile and optimized chord, this mast reduces drag and unlocks glide. More performant than a 16 mm model, it allows for higher speeds, improved glide, and more direct sensations, while retaining enough smoothness to support progression.
Finally, its fully monobloc construction with integrated top plate and mast base ensures optimized stiffness and efficient power transfer. With no connections or mechanical play, the behavior remains clean, precise, and consistent in all conditions.
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.

Available in 3 Sizes
The 80 cm mast is our new size, specially developed for hybrid use. It is an ideal size for riders alternating between surf foil and wing foil, while also delivering excellent performance in kitefoil and SUP foil. It is the perfect size for surf foilers looking for a single versatile mast.
The 85 cm mast offers great versatility and forgiveness across different disciplines. It is the ideal size for wing foil and kitefoil. It can also be used for surf/SUP foil in spots where depth is not an issue, as well as for downwind riding, providing a greater margin for error in this discipline.
This mast can be connected to virtually all boards on the market.
Protective Cover
Thanks to its velcro closure system and thick foam padding, your mast will be perfectly secured and protected from everyday impacts.
