"TAKOON" kites

Hello everyone I would like to get your opinion about TAKOON kites. How is it compared with other brands? Maybe someone tried their kite Takoon KOOL 9,5 (considering to buy it). I know they are French company but nothing more. :dunno::dunno:
Please share your experience.
Thanks

HARD TO SAY, I HAVE SEEN A PRO WORK A 8M C-KITE AND HE MENTIONED THE MISTAKE AND IT JUST ....WAS THE TRUTH

2 french kite companies are doing quite well. F-One with the Bandit, and Air Evolution. I am not too sure, but still may exist some others.
