THE KUJIRA FOIL.

BIOMIMICRY, INSPIRED BY NATURE

The name Kujira (くじら) is Japanese for whale.
The revolutionary tubercle design of our foils, mimics the pectoral fin of the humpback whale which is known for its agility, power and efficiency.
Resulting in enormous improvement in terms of hydrodynamics, lift, glide, stability and comfort during flight.

Designed in Japan

Takuma has some japanese roots, not only with the name of the brand and some of its products, but also with Takuma's founder and designer, Cyril Coste: together with a part of the R&D and production teams, he is actually based in Japan, where these animals can be seen migrating from and towards northern regions.

Humpback whales are the natural inspiration when in the innovation and engineering process on the Kujira foil, as an element of biomimicry.

In the process of developing the Kujira foil, Takuma made the decision to have a strong commitment to the environment’s protection.

Delivering a new perception
of foiling

HIGH MANEUVERABILITY

The intelligent design allows the Kujira foils to maintain a high level of manuverability, smooth acceleration, a fast top end speed and effortless pumping, while maintaining great stability.

IMMENSE GLIDE

Delivering exceptional glide and a progressive lift , the kujira foils allow for a smooth and stable take-off. They perform with brilliant reactiveness and even at extremely low speed they deliver a sensational yet forgiving ride.

Pinnacle of performance

THE BUMPS

Breaks up water contact and reduces resistance resulting in less drag for an increase of speed, agility and sharper turns.

THE WINGLETS

Reduces and redirects the angle of the vortex for less vibration and more stability for a smooth and comfortable ride.

The latest in the KUJIRA family. A true evolution of the original Kujira concept. Everything in the design has been upgraded. The KUJIRA II delivers a high level of maneuverability, acceleration, effortless pumping, while maintaining our signature immense glide.

HELIUM

With a carbon composite construction and lightweight helium foam core, the Kujira Helium is the most cost-effective and user-friendly performance foil currently on the market.
The Kujira Helium’s medium size and medium aspect ratio fit the full range of riders, from lightweight to heavyweight, it is suited for everyone no matter your size and level.

Introducing the Kujira //

KUJIRA

INNOVATION INSPIRED BY NATURE

The Kujira (くじら. Japanese for whale) emulates the pectoral fin of a whale.

The tubercles along its edge channels water and divides it into streams. Thus reduces water resistance resulting in less drag and increases speed that allows it to be more agile, stable and to turn at sharper angles.

Innovation is about the intersection of purpose and creativity.

The Kujira line has evolved with the sport. Riders are now more experienced, more skilled, and more demanding. Takuma has put all its passion to come up with an original solution to meet their expectations.

THE PERFECT MAST ASSOCIATION

The Takuma integrated carbon mast and top plate together with KujiraII, will make an undeniable disruption to the foiling game, and will radically improve your performance and the pure feeling you get from riding.

The Takuma Carbon mast has a new profile redesigned to deliver the perfect efficiency, and maximizes comfort in flight. The refined profile guarantees high rigidity, eliminating flex and drag, working harmoniously with the full range of wing sizes.

The thinner, stiffer profile, decreases frontal resistance and reduces torsion to deliver the smoothest of glides. This in turn increases speed, wing stability and control.

The Kujira range

The full range of wing sizes has been specifically thought for its purpose.
Rather than being homothetic, each front wing and back wing
has been individually designed in combination for its performance.

FRONT WINGS

BACK WINGS

The Kujira II stabilizers are designed specifically to perform in combination with the front wings for the ideal balanced set up.
Depending on the conditions, foiling disciplines, and riding style, changing the back wing can enhance your ride and bring an entirely different sensation and level of performance.

FW/BW COMBINATIONS

To extend the range of your set up :
Size down for: stronger conditions, more looseness, more speed, less back foot pressure.
Size up for: lighter conditions, increase power, more stability, more pumping efficiency.

In red, recommended BW size for optimal performance.

THE WING COVERS

Included with the front and back wings.

  • • Strong, water repelling material.
  • • Quick and easy on/off magnetic closure.
  • • Reinforced surrounding webbing and tips.
  • • High density foam padding.
  • • Light, waterproof and easy-clean inner lining.
