I have recently purchased a new Takoon Skoop 11m. Im here to write a review for this kite due to the lack of feedback from Skoop riders. I hope this review can assist someone in the future who wishes to purchase one.
Ive been riding Naish Park 10m, 7m for a little over a year now and when Naish announced there were discontinuing this line I immediately when on search for an equivalent. A few things are important to me when looking at kites, the 3 big things that come first is simplicity, robust construction and price. The Skoop ticks all these boxes. I like 3 strut kites simply due to the fact there is less of a chance of things to go wrong and the idea of inflate and deflate using the one valve, again less things to go wrong. Construction is mint. really good stitching, high quality canopy and really solid scuff pads. Getting really good value for money with the Skoop. When buying direct from Takoon website the prices are really attractive. Takoon aint in the buisness of expensive advertising and releasing new models every year, they build a kite that works and they stick with it and continue to flog the same kites year after year.
Im just starting out to new school riding so I cannot give alot of advise here. Though freeriding, Big hang time, waves this kite is AWESOME!! Plenty of adjustment for fine tuning. Can adjust this to be super super stable or tune it for real fast turning. Real good allrounder. This kite has really accelerated my progression, so ive just ordered a 9m.
Hope this helps. Feel free as ask questions.
These guys have the patent for the inflatable leading edge design. And introduced Bow kites along with Carbrinha. Like you said, quality riders behind this design too.
