Depowers Fast Off the Top
Hard-core wave sailors love the Taka’s 3/4 batten above the boom. It lets the sail go neutral instantly, giving you smooth control when you’re carving down the line or hitting the lip.
Light-Wind Wave Performance
Rig a smaller size and fill it up — you’ll have just enough power to catch the wave, but with the handling and freedom of a smaller sail. The Taka comes alive in light-wind, real-world wave conditions.
Easy Loops, Soft Landings
The 3/4 batten’s on-off luffing lets the Taka rotate effortlessly through forwards and backloops. It feels light in the air and forgiving on the landing. The trade-off? That quick depower keeps jumps a little lower than on the Ezzy Wave or Zorro.
Factory-Tuned Perfection
Every Taka is rigged and tuned in our factory before it leaves the floor. We check the shape, battens, and rigging gauges so that when you unroll it, it rigs perfectly — right out of the bag and every time after.
Is the Taka for You?
If you’re after a light-wind wave sail that depowers instantly and feels loose and alive on the wave, the Taka is your sail. Radical maneuverability, total control — that’s what it’s made for.
How Does the Taka Depower So Easily?
The Taka uses 3 ¾ battens, and that partial batten above the boom is the key. It allows the sail to luff and go neutral instantly — switching from loaded power to flat and featherlight with a small change in sheeting.
This is what gives the Taka its dual personality: power when pumping onto a wave or into a jump, then instant neutrality when you release into a turn or rotation. The payoff is felt in more vertical bottom turns, softer backloop landings, and effortless freestyle-style rotations where the sail simply gets out of the way.
Lightweight Performance
The Taka is engineered with advanced laminates and composites derived from aerospace and defense-grade material technology. The result is a sail that is extremely light in the hands while still delivering full, uncompromised performance under load.
Hardcore Construction
Wave sailing demands durability. The Taka is built to handle daily abuse — from heavy surf to rock and reef impacts — using reinforcements and panel layouts designed specifically for high-stress wave environments. It’s lightweight, but not fragile.
Calibrated Rigging
When the wind is on, you want to rig fast and rig right. Every Taka is rigged, tensioned, and factory-calibrated before it leaves Ezzy Sails. The downhaul gauge at the tack lets you set the sail in seconds: just align the bottom of the mast with Max, Mid, Min 1, or Min 2 (for extra light winds). No guessing, no trial and error — just accurate tuning every session.
