| Several
years of research on new types of Kites have led TAKOON to rewrite
the whole sport of kitesurfing. A new generation of Kite is born.
While
others look for new ways of making artificially the sport safer,
TAKOON has concentrated its efforts on working on a whole concept
which integrates both the control system and the kite. This approach
is aimed at keeping the feel of the usual classical 4-line kite
while at the same time
enhancing the wind range, reinforcing security and making the
gear simpler to use.
In
terms of design, the kite is relatively flat and uses a bridle
system on its leading edge that allows the kite to rotate frontward.
The control system is particular to the kite but still has the
usual characteristics: large chicken loop, adjustment strap, 4
line connection points.
Huge
Wind Range:
TAKOON has developed even further the idea of an efficient POWER/
DEPOWER system that has made its reputation. This unique integration
of Kite + bar provides better POWER/DEPOWER control than any other
classical kite. You control your kite and its power at all times.
Sudden gusts of wind won’t panic you any more! The NOVA
therefore gives you a vastly wider wind range.
By pushing the bar - Depower position- the kite swivels frontward
and power is decreased.
By pulling the bar, the kite gains powers and accelerates.
An
adjustment strap on the front lines allow for accurate trimming.
Unlike with regular kites, you will be able to manoeuvre the NOVA
in all conditions because the rear lines never go slack.
With the NOVA you will feel in total control even in changing
wind conditions. It allows you to ride in 80% of wind conditions.
Therefore only 3 sizes are ever needed.
Performance
and Freedom:
The NOVA 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 NOVA 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 Nova 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!
