We are really thrilled to announce that we have new riders on our team. Matahi Drollet, Tikanui Smith and Lorenzo Avvenenti.

We are really happy that they will test the new and exciting product range in all weather conditions, all year long and throughout their trips.

Introduction to the surfers in a few words: 

Matahi Drollet, Having grown up inside Tahiti's famous Teahupo'o, a wave he has been surfing since he was 8, became a surfing legend at a young age. 

“To be honest I tried all the foils on the market and the Kujira Foil is by far the easiest, fastest, most manœuvrable one to use... I don’t see myself riding something else anymore.”

Tikanui Smith, young surfer from Moorea, Tahiti's sister island in French Polynesia, has been surfing for the past ten years following the path of his older brothers. He thrives in deep water. He is known around the world for his casual approach to crazy waves.

"Nothing more to say that the Takuma foils are simply the best of the best . Test it , and adopt it . You will never be able to ride and to accept anything else . So proud to be part of this team"

Lorenzo Avvenenti, a really tall guy and one of the best barrel riders in Tahiti. “He got the bomb of the day on the last swell,” these are Matahi Drollet’s words on Lorenzo Avvenenti. 

"So Stoked to de apart of the takuma concept . Their new kujiralfoil is mindblowing. Reaching some crazy speed while holding the carving is something you must try . Once you go Takuma you never go back."

We were so happy to see them Fly Above Water in Tahiti with us.
