Hi,

Here is my review of the Takuma RS,
I've been riding this wing for a few monthes now.
I did'nt really liked the power of the Wing Ride 3, but this one is totally different with a freeride feeling and lot of comfort.
The video is subtitle in english. enjoy

I hope the industry adopts the front handle design. I really like how you can flag it with the "joystick" design.

It's a cool feature for heavy wings which are harder to flag in light winds. However it's also good at hitting the board when you're pulling in the leash getting ready to pick the wing...

The handle appears to have a thicker pad at the bend to absorb any impact between board and wing -- at least someone paid attention to this issue. It might have been better if they had lengthened this pad some towards the centre strut.

I wonder how people are doing with these wings, perso I find them very fragile, the dacron doesn't seem as resilient as other wings (I took the hard handles off and put a piece of cord with hose in place, just feels better for me - hard handles on an inflatable structure just don't seem right)

Sure, I'll go and snap one, I just prefer the soft / semi rigid handles more (some companies, I believe the new Naish wing, offer options for handles now, which is brilliant, give the customer what they really want)

Incredible, you got rid of the thing that is IMO still today outstanding on this wing, the wide intuitive and easy to use handles...

Only 4 psi ? That some heavy moding you did, how is it suring manoeuvers ?

You guys can be incisive! I put 4psi on there to remind me NOT to overinflate, because of the mega repair it's all a bit tender now, it was a good learning experience, but no really I personally do not like the hard handles it's as simple as that
