Well, I am a 100% "Takoon'ist"
Meaning - I loved the Airblast's, and when Bruno stopped with Wipika, and started Takoon - I followed the "brand" change, to be able to keep my own favourite kite style.
I really love the Airblast/Skoop kite style !
Lots of depower, perfect "gust" absorber, excellent jumps and upwind ability - great performance.
I wont let go of that
So if you really loved your Skoop(1) 11.5 - go for the Skoop3 or 4
Why ?
Because you know your kite, and like this style.
And the Skoop2 had lots of depower, but not very good low end - and it had too high AR, to be fully stable, and could be a bit difficult to relaunch when not pumped extremely hard.
Skoop(1) had good low end, compared to Skoop2 - I also loved the 11.5 Skoop(1)
But with the Skoop3 and 4, the low end came back !
A bit lower AR, and thinner but more curved profile - AND the span line that stabilises the kite fully in the turns, and delivers extreme jumping ability.
3 and 4 are very much alike in flying characteristics - main difference is Skoop4 has so many really nice and sleek details - like integrated tip struts, better contra vents, thinner and segmented and more struts, pump leash and/or 5'th line, reinforced bladders - almost impossible to damage.
So a Skoop3 would be fine, if you are in really "low price" mode.
And the Skoop4, you'll just love - if you are into max. performance, highest and longest jumps, okay low end, and still incredible windrange - combined with nice details.
Here my Skoop4 14.5m2 in Hurghada:
And my 11.5m2 - 9 thin struts as you can see here:
And "batwing" trailing edge - no flapping anywhere...
Optional 5'th line attachment points (I most often fly with 4 lines - to have less drag and jump higher... But when practising new unhooked kiteloops, I change it to 5 lines):
Again, in Hurghada - with my 9m2, and my girlfriend Pia:
Because I love this riding style, I am not in doubt at all
Jumping high is THE most fun - here, home in Denmark:
