The “Takoon” flight feeling provides light, stable and fluid kites
which already introduce the concept of depower. Shapes act
as reference and the brand is innovative in terms of design.
The Takoon Family is born with a team made up of emblematic
riders which took par t in the creation of the spor t and represent
each discipline.

BACKBONE TECHNOLOGY
Takoon kites are made with our Backbone Technology.
The kite structure is made of Teijin T- 71830 Dacron, the most durable kite
fabric which locks the kite profile. This skeleton is composed of the leading
edge, trailing edge, struts and load distribution panels.
A transition area exclusive to Takoon; comprising of an insignia band which
ensures an effective bond between Dacron and the lightweight canopy.
This transition ensures a smooth power distribution between the different
materials. It also reduces flapping and weight.
T96008
T71830
Then comes the assembly of the lighter canopy which forms the shape of the
kite. We use Teijin T- 9600, which is the most reliable and recognized for its
lightness, durability, resistance to tear and UV.
Construction is completed with various reinforcements at critical locations
with our technical seams and welds on all connections.
Our Backbone Technology ensures the best per formance, lightness and
durability.
TEIJIN TECHNOFORCE.
F r o m J A PA N .
Teijin is the leader in polyester fabrics for all kinds of sailing spor ts.
Takoon Kiteboarding uses T-96008 for the canopy, which is designed with
a high density structure using a high tenacity polyester yarn. This fabric is
the most reliable and recognized for its lightness, durability, resistance to
tear and UV. These materials have been tried and tested - we do not test new
fabrics on you!
We use Teijin T-71830 Dacron, for leading edge, struts, kite tips, trailing edge
and all high load areas. While most kitesur fing brands stopped using Teijin
Dacron to reduce costs, we believe that using the best materials makes it
possible to keep the best per formance over time.
COUSIN TRESTEC.
From France.
COUSIN Trestec sets the standards for technical and professional rope
equipment.
With over 160 years of experience in the manufacture of ropes, COUSIN
Trestec is a major player in spor ting disciplines (S ailing, Kitesur fing, Climbing
and Paragliding).
Takoon Kiteboarding uses Cousin Top Line F800 lines, their high-end material.
These lines are 100% Dyneema and braided with 16 plaits.
Round and compact with optimized braiding angle to reduce stretching.

Each bridle is developed to maximize the per formance of the kite - ensuring
stability and depower. A specific bridle line is used where the pulley travels,
to allow easy replacement.
Ever y connector is voluntarily thicker for improved strength and reliability.

The leading edge is crucial because it must provide per formance and
rigidity, while being able to absorb shock on impact.
Its shape is conical to maintain kite rigidity while permitting twisting during
turning for optimal handling. The thin ends also reduce drag. A small strap
at the ends of the kite prevents the lines becoming jammed.
The Dacron material of the leading edge is reinforced with a self-adhesive
Insignia tape plus a double seam. The Heavy Dut y Leading Edge Closing
Seam is resistant to ver y high tensions and diagonal forces.

We created load distribution panels using Dacron Teijin T-71830 to
smoothly distribute the kites load at critical points. They are usually found
on the bridle connection points. Even under the most extreme loads, the
shape of the kite remains the same as in any ridi ng situation.
The connection points of bridles are integrated into the leading edge for a
