Description
The Taka is the sail of choice for many riders around the world who love its unique soft, on-off de-powering —and they want nothing else! The Taka is made for waves with offshore winds and down-the-line riding. The Taka has 3 full battens and a 3/4 batten above the boom.
The main point of the Taka is that it de-powers when sheeted out or rotated into the wind, which makes the sail go completely neutral in maneuvers. Surprisingly, this also makes the Taka a good sail for foiling.
The Taka has a dyneema-reinforced X-Film window which, in addition to be lightweight, also better transfers the gusts into board speed, making the Taka more stable in high winds. In our factory, every Taka is rigged, the quality is inspected, the battens are tuned, and the rigging gauges are calibrated so that when you unroll the Taka, it will rig perfectly the first time out of the bag—and every other time.
Lightweight, soft power, low-end grunt, on-off luffing, hardcore wave potential, hardcore fan base: this is the Taka.
