Takoon Wing V4 Pro gets lighter, stiffer upgrade for freeride and waves
Takoon's 2026 Wing V4 Pro switched to a 65 g/m² quadruple-ripstop canopy, making the biggest gains in stiffness, response and canopy hold.
Takoon did not give the Wing V4 Pro a cosmetic tune-up. The 2026 edition came back lighter, stiffer and more responsive, with the kind of construction change that matters when a rider is trying to squeeze more out of freeride reaches or clean wave transitions.
The headline upgrade is the canopy. Takoon moved from the V3 Pro’s 54 g/m² triple-ripstop build to a 65 g/m² quadruple-ripstop canopy on the V4 Pro, and the fabric choice goes straight at the two things riders notice most over time: shape retention and nervousness in the wing under load. Takoon paired that with Dimension-Polyant UPE Project 85 cloth, a premium sailcloth approach that is built around durability and stretch resistance. Internal TPU bladders and thermowelded details back up the message: this wing is meant to keep its feel after real use, not just look new out of the bag.
On the water, the design changes should be just as obvious. Takoon trimmed the wingspan, slimmed the leading edge and sharpened the aerodynamics, all of which should cut drag, improve upwind tracking and make surf transitions cleaner. That matters because the V4 Pro is not pitched only at advanced riders chasing a racey edge. Takoon has it aimed at a wide range, from newer riders who want something stable and manageable to experienced riders who want a crisp, high-performance wing for freeride and waves.
The pricing keeps that premium, direct-to-rider formula intact. The 2026 Wing V4 Pro starts at €683 on Takoon’s international store and €689 on the French store, with sizes running from 2.0 to 6.5 square meters. Takoon, which designs its gear in France and sells direct online, has long used that model to stay below some flagship competitors while still pushing technical upgrades.
There is also a broader brand story here. Takoon’s 2026 lineup includes both the Wing V4 Pro and the VX Pro V2, which the brand treats as different high-end answers rather than one all-purpose flagship. That kind of split says a lot: Takoon is not just refreshing a wing, it is sharpening its range. For riders on a V3 Pro, the jump to the V4 Pro looks like a real performance upgrade, not a reason to chase new paint.
