Volgens ezzy:

I designed the three batten Taka to be
a pure wave sail. It’s light in the hands and
rides waves better than any sail I have ever
used. During the Taka’s developmental
phase, there was always a fight between
Kevin, Graham and me, on who got to use
the Taka proto that day.
The Taka goes neutral in the top turn
which allows you to focus on your board.
This results in a much more dynamic
cutback, or whatever move you desire off
the top. The Taka is designed for light to
medium wind wave sailing and can be set
really full for super light wind.
Although the Taka can comfortably
handle quite a lot of wind, I do not
recommend sailing it way over-powered.
It’s better to go with a smaller size. For
example, the 4.5 Taka is as powerful as a
standard 4.7, the 4.9 Taka has the power of
a 5.3 and the 5.4 Taka is as powerful as
most 5.7’s.
The Taka retains the control, balance
and soft feel that defines my sails. In fact,
sailing in a straight line, I don’t notice the
taka being any less stable than the four
batten Elite.
I’ve kept the construction and
materials of the Taka similar to the Elite.
This includes a Technora leech, Color
Fusion center and Spectra X Film body.
To get the true performance out of
the Taka, you need to rig it correctly. We
rig and calibrated all Taka’s, so that you can
easily and accurately set the downhaul.

So, if you are serious about your wave
sailing and want to get more radical off the
top, the Taka will help. I know it has for me.
