Takoon Reflex
Takoon have been in the kitesurfing game longer than most, having shed the ownership of Bic Sport they are now under the umbrella of P&J Design. 2012 sees them come to the table sporting a new range that looks set to do very well. 2 kites make up the line up, the Reflex2 and the new version of the Furia....
Takoon Chrono
The Chrono from Takoon is a new kite in their 2010 line up aimed at the high performance and free ride end of the market.

Takoon Lux
Takoon have been quietly making great freestyle boards for years now, the last one we tested was the Data and we rated it quite highly! This year the Lux looks set to raise the bar somewhat in the board market. Aside from the stunning graphics, which make it almost good enough to eat, the Lux features a revolution in the...

Ultra Sport EU have just taken over that dealership and with their past track record...
Takoon Furia
The Furia from Takoon is their top end kite aimed at the high performance market looking for a kite that will excel at both freestyle and waveriding. It boasts some impressive features including their one pump system and a super simple bridle. In our opinion it is good to see bridles getting less complicated, it allows for easier set up...
Takoon Nova3
Last issue we tested the Takoon eNova, this issue it is the turn of the Nova3 to step up to the plate. The Nova was originally one of the first Bow kites launched in 2005 alongside the Cabrinha Crossbow. Back then the kite was fully geared towards being a safe kite to fly and learn on. The major advantages being...
Takoon Sutra
We haven’t seen a board from the boys at Takoon for some time here at the magazine. So we were quite excited when the Sutra first arrived at the office. The graphics and design of the board make it a definite standout from the rest. The black and gold colour way making it look super smart and the matching pads...
