Takuma RS vs. Duotone Unit II (Rigid Handle Wings)

greenhatkiteboarding.com/?sub...
This video compares two premium hand wings: The Takuma RS and the Duotone Unit Version II, both in 5.0m sizing. They both are comprised of a rigid handle construction, which undoubtedly has been a huge advancement in the winging industry for a better connection to the wing. Let's see what the local Hefner riders have to say about the wing.

Great review guys. Good to hear from riders of my level.

[@TheOKKiteboarder]

Thx Clive!

[@robertzeeland]

Thanks for the show! Would love to see how the Unit 6,5 and the RS 7,2 compare. Keep up the good work brah!

[@richardleparmentier8708]

Just bought the Duotone and love it! 100% agree on the feedback

[@TheOKKiteboarder]

Thx Richard. We try.

[@levelplain9887]

Judging not on how they opperate but on flying, that RS looks sweet!!!

[@josephk.1842]

Nice reviews. Thanks

[@solentfoiler5969]

Yes! Thanks for the review of the RS from me too. Been waiting impatiently for someone to do this, especially as I have pre ordered 3 of them, so thank you! Sounds like they will suit me very well, so looking forward to their arrival.

[@TheOKKiteboarder]

Great to hear. Enjoy!

[@saviofernandes5306]

Did you get yours? How are they? I pre-ordered 2 some time ago and am expecting them in the next few days. Not many reviews around.

[@solentfoiler5969]

@@saviofernandes5306 Haha! No, still waiting! Been a few weeks since I last spoke to the shop (he must be getting sick of my emails!) but will follow up again this week. I understand all of European stock was delayed while an issue with the bladders was sorted. Rather they did that than after delivery, but I have the patience of a child...

[@lukeskywalkerthe3rd]

Thx for the 1st review of the RS! One question; on the seabreeze forum someone mentioned that this wing doesn't like being overpowered. Theoretically it should be the otherway around, because of the firm canopy. Can you comment on this topic?

[@Foilfun]

I found as it reached the top of its range and more flagging was needed, it would start backwinding. For my style, the Unit 2 was easier to control when overpowered. In its range, the RS was more locked in.

Realy enjoy your reviews , thanks from France. Is it possible that Monsieur Daniel " the Mayor " Nickolson can five us à review of the Triton foil he seems To be using ? Merci . There is nothing on Line about it for winging.

[@TheOKKiteboarder]

Steve. We are about to start riding the Triton and seeing if we want to review it. On this day he winged it just for giggles. It’s really not made for winging.

[@surfertbone4333]

The Wing industry has gotten more complex this year. The introduction of hard handles has got me questioning my next wing choice.

[@laurencesapille615]

very interessant vid. But when windy day, an accessory for the microphone would be welcome for your interviews.

[@TheOKKiteboarder]

Yes. I had forgotten my wind reduction covers for this session. Sorry.

[@pubfixture]

4:00, "most wings "flap all over the place""? hadn't' heard.

[@michaellambert8606]

Y’all are still using that hand gesture? If you aren’t a white supremacist you should probably stop using that. If you are you should reconsider.
