Takoon Soul (2010)

Its stability and lightness make it the all-round kite in the Takoon range to suit most riders. Its hybrid shape offers impressive and predictable flying characteristics. A forgiving kite, the Soul is easy to handle for all riders who want to ride with a simple and high-performance kite. The kite’s construction and especially the innovate Dacron – Insigna - Spi “degrade” offers both fluidity and rigidity, enabling it to stand up to gusts; the Soul feels really safe. There’s no adjustment time necessary, the kite is as easy to rig as it is easy to fly; the Soul is an intuitive kite in any program, whether you want to experience your first ride, shred the wave or go high.

Takoon Pure (2010)

The objective for Takoon was to build a stable kitesurf kite with a great turning ability and direct steering, a huge windrange and automatic relaunch to provide maximum comfort and confidence. All the above make the Takoon Pure suitable for both wave riding and new-school freestyle. The Delta shape helps the Takoon pure kite to turn predictably with no twist in gusty conditions. The swept leading edge and raked back wingtip minimize drag to increase kites performance notably in low end. The Takoon Pure offers excellent upwind abilities and wind range. The innovative Pure profile and mini-bridle provide a perfect steering.
