Just bought a 12 metreTakoon Wook 3 .

Been kite boarding for about 3 years on & off(more off than on) using a 3metre Radsail but wanted to go bigger so kept looking on ebay and ended up buying a 12 metre Takoon Wook 3,bit of a jump in size but it was cheap(I hope,should have it on monday!)
Does anyone have one of these and if so,are they any good? Cheers.

Little concerning that it doesn't appear on a google or bing search, if it's quite old you better check the safety on it, hopefully someone can give you some good news.

You'd be better off asking on www.kiteboarder.co.uk • Index page

nice in their day, but as an old C kite, it will take some skill to control it on land

i'd say fit a 5th line if it doesnt already have it, maybe shorter lines too (20m)

there was a really sweet video of some guy waveriding with one. They are qute quick for their age. I have a skoop4 14.5m which i think is the same age. It was quite nice actually and even nicer on 20m lines. It is a bit stretched now so flies a bit wonky. with the bar mine came with it had quite a lot of depower. (mostly because of the long throw.) i'm assuming the wook will be the same.

I had some good mountainboarding sessions with it but it can be quite fickle. just be a bit careful to start with.

Thanks for the advice,laid it out properly today and inflated all bladders (by mouth!!!! need to get a pump!!!!) MY GOD ITS HUGE!! Had a good look around & it appears to be in excellent nick,couldnt see any damage anywhere & its all nice & crispy,only fault is some of the valves dont self seal,any idea how to get round that?
