Takoon Furia Kitesurfing Kite 2012
- Coming March! -
Takoon is proud to introduce the new TAKOON FURIA, developed in close relationship with their team riders. The target was an obvious one, to offer a kite with the best performance in freestyle and wave riding.
In the hand, the Furia is ultra light and responsive. The bar feeling is very direct (C-kite like) to be precise while piloting. And piloting is the word, because the Furia is a really fast kite, it easily allows kiteloops and big wave riding.
Jumping ability is excellent with instant punch upwards and a huge amount of lift and hangtime.
While riding, the kite never falls out of the sky. Depower is efficient, just push the bar on it slowes down, ideal for gusty conditions. Upwind ability is also excellent.
Takoon worked first on a new profile with more aerodynamics, that did the trick!
The new leading edge design which lets a direct effort transfer, the independent profile between the centre and the tips, the struts’ unique location and the narrow tips, make the Furia more aerodynamic and easy to use because it is not a kite with a high aspect ratio.
Thanks to these points the kite turns much easier; it’s more solid and light in the air.
The target was to reduce the surface tips ( 02 ), to reduce drag, increase turning ability and get a better control in strong wind.
Takoon Furia / Nova Design
The surface thus gained went to the centre of the kite ( 01 ) where stiffness and power are needed.
The Deep profile gives low end power and good hang time. So the central strut is longer (less aspect ratio) and the tips are narrower, meaning more power is achieved (more surface to the kite centre) while drag is reduced (drag comes mostly from the tips), making the kite more aerodynamic.
These aspects give the Furia a unique turning ability for a flat profile kite.
The specific leading edge design along with the new shape of the tips shape allow the kite to turn on the tip, which is perfect for tricks and unhooked kiteloop.
Depower Ability:
Depower ability is really efficient on the Furia with a good bar feeling, light but still effective. Expert riders will get the perfect feeling to know exactly where the kite is during tricks.
Technical Features:
The specific bridle system and the new kite shape gives the kite more reactivity.
Huge Wind Range:
This unique integration of kite + bar provides better POWER/DEPOWER control than any other hybrid or regular kite!
The shape of the kite has had a look-over under each seam:
Leading edge diameter reduced by 10% for more aerodynamism. Enough to prevent inversed kite
problems.
Thinner struts to reduce drag making the kite is lighter.
The exclusive Furia bridle makes for a very stable kite because it fully supports the leading edge
which undergoes important changes of pressure.
This stability allows to the Furia to be more reactive.
Although equal in size to classical kites, the Furia has a higher projected surface area, offering more power and more lift. A classical kite will give off, in terms of power, only 50% against 80% for the Furia, which is even smaller and lighter.
Performance and Freedom:
The Takoon Furia will give you totally new sensations. Riders from all levels will get a kick from it!
It's simpler to use, gives more autonomy, more riding time and increased safety.
Greater performance while keeping it simple is Takoon's driving concept. You wil appreciate the wider wind range and ease or re-launch. Thanks to the revolutionary shape of the Furia it will perform equally well, no matter what the wind conditions are.
Try out the latest moves; ride unhooked, clip your handle pass leash to the chicken loop and if you let the bar go, the kite will go neutral. Light bar pressure for endless riding.
Rotate endlessly with the swivel system and automatically untwist your front lines without being bothered by other parts (such as a leash or 5th line).
New wave control even in off-shore wave conditions.
Huge Hang time due to the high projected area of the kite.
The Furia wraps all of these features into one kite to deliver:
Huge wind range allowing you to fly in 80% of all wind conditions.
Letting go of the bar will simply send the kite neutral.
Light bar pressure for endless riding.
Control bar with swivel system allows for endless rotations.
The highest level of security.
Water relaunching that requires no swimming!
New wave control in off shore conditions.
Huge hang time due to the high projected area of the kite.
