Takuma V2 Cruiser 2022
Updated for 2022
PRICE £6199
The Efoil Cruising 2 is the most accessible Efoil on the market.
The short mast and large wing surface facilitate an easy, stable take-off and effortless glide for all riders. With an innovative board shape and voluminous size, it is suitable for nearly all body types. Strategically placed handles to aid carrying alone or with help and to make it easier to get on the board once in the water.
Hull inserts are specifically designed to attach a handle when used with a trolley for ease of transport to and from the beach.
The Efoil Cruising 2 is designed to make this exhilarating sport as accessible as possible.
It is quick and easy to set up and intuitive to control via the new minimalistic remote.
Completely new remote control design with a built-in secure waterproof housing.
The 1900cm2 front wing offers excellent stability and a lift perfectly suited for first-time riders. With its smooth powerful lift, this foil is developed for calm water riding.
It is quick to connect and intuitive to use, helping you feel in control from your very first ride. It has an integrated security system that shuts off the remote when it comes in contact with water.
We have radically reduced the size and weight of our ESC making the overall weight of the Efoil much lighter and more efficient, which in turn reduces the battery consumption allowing for longer sessions.The new internal antenna allows for a more consistent Bluetooth connection.
The new sleek and compact propulsion is discreet yet powerful, allowing you to gain speeds of up to 30km/h. With thinner and lighter components it eliminates drag and delivers an ultra-smooth hydrodynamic performance.
In short: - Easy to use and accessible to everyone (even without any prior water sports experience) - A unique board design with a volume and shape suitable for beginners and experts - Improved stability and earlier take-off (gains flight more quickly even at low speed)
- A much more ”reactive” efoil with increased comfort during flight - An ultra-intuitive remote control - You will directly feel the improvements from first use Efoiling is fast, quiet, and emission-free, giving you the exhilarating experience of flying above water with the freedom to ride anywhere at any time, without the need for wind or waves.
Extremely engaging for even the most experienced watersports athletes and simply breathtaking for complete beginners, prepare yourself for an adrenaline-filled new hobby!Flying time 65 to 90 min (subject to rider weight and level)

Efoil experience
There is lots to learn even if you are an experienced surfer or Waterman.
We are proud to announce we will be offering a 90 minute introduction to the Electric Hydrofoil board from Takuma, including board set up, and up to one hour of riding (one battery life)
Hydrofoiling or ‘e Foiling’ as its now known is all about the basic skill of balance albeit in 3 different ways , like controlling a plane ..adjusting Pitch , roll and yaw but over water.
However foil stance is also very important, you cannot just simply adopt the same stance you would on a surfboard for instance.
By watching videos you'll also become familiar with the classic variations of the foil stance. Practice this forward weighted foil surf stance by taking a few minutes to program it into your muscle memory.
Imagine slicing the board in two nose-to-tail and then glue back together, that cut line is where you need to position each foot . Being able to balance and rise above the water is about centering your weight directly in the middle of the board.
When learning on the Efoil board you also have throttle control of your speed . If the surface of the water is flat it will be easier to adjust your balance and also your speed - a bit like flying an aeroplane in calm conditions versus in turbulence, no one likes a bumpy ride.
To learn to 'read water' focus on the surface, If there's a choppy texture on the water then it's important to be aware of your balance more and read the surface like surfers do or how a skier or snowboarder looks ahead of their current path as they hurtle down the mountain!

Eagerly awaited Takuma E foil
We'll soon have our hands on the UK's first Takuma Efoil - here are some details
An e-foil is a board with a hydrofoil and an electric motor, which allows you to fly over the water and experience new gliding sensations. Until now, this market was dominated by a Puerto Rican manufacturer, Lift Foils, and an Australian brand, Flite, with boards sold for around 10,000 euros. A young company from Lille, Takuma, specialising in leisure hydrofoils, has been offering its own e-foil for the general public for a few days, at a more affordable price of 5999 Pounds. "It took us two years of R & D to develop a cheaper and easier to use board," says Cyril Coste, a sliding sports enthusiast who co-founded Takuma with Thomas Bevilacqua and Nicolas Guittard. We have worked a lot on the hydrodynamics of the foil: ours allows to fly with a smaller engine and therefore a less bulky battery. The design of the cooling system - by water or by air - of the battery and the computer which makes it possible, via a remote control, to manage the speed of the machine should be the subject of a patent application.
Mass production
"Another difference compared to our competitors who still make a lot of parts using 3D printers, we invested in moulds to produce mass and therefore cheaper," adds Thomas Bevilacqua. This graduate of Grenoble School of Management, passed by Decathlon, first created a communication agency, Ores, in 2013 with a childhood friend, Nicolas Guittard. This is where the duo met Cyril Coste, in 2014: he had created a company, Lokahi, specialized in stand-up paddles and surfs, became a customer of Ores.
The entire electrical part of Takuma e-foils is made in Taiwan, while the production of the board part is provided in France and Formosa. The targeted customers are the individuals but also the hirers, installed along the beaches or nautical bases.

COOLING SYSTEM WATER / AIR COOL
Takuma's team have developed a unique innovation around the E-foil cooling system.Our “WATAIR COOL” system in Anodized Aluminium is specifically designed and patented with BB Talkin who specialize in waterproof Bluetooth connectivity devices.
The Water/air cool system will cool down the ESC both on water and in the air, allowing for an optimal management of the electric system temperatures.
What this means... Batteries get really hot and they have looked to manage this by designing this functioning feature
