The 590 will not fly well or at all with sea grass on it. The 633 keeps going with sea grass on it. This has saved many late season sessions for me, when we now have a lot of sea grass
agree the 633 and 683 work well with weeds and white water but the 483 stabilizer catches all kinds of weeds wish it was v shaped too as it's relatively flat anyway. Thinking of trying stabless with the Onda wings (anyone else try it yet?) I think the 683 is the best compromise for kiting freeride and waves I have the 637 and it's fairly easy to ride but not for learning or first rides.

Unfortunately 483 stabilizer collects all the grass. I hope they make more arrowhead stabilizers too

I wanted to understand if it is my limit (courage) or a limit of the material.
what speed can you do with the 590-330?
I arrived at 49.2 km / h.
you?

I’ve been riding this recently and really like it .coming From 633-683-590. At first I thought It was too stally and had to large of a carving radius . But now I have grown to really enjoy the casual speed and handling of this wing . Also like the lightness.
the epoxy on the Moses mast is starting to chip and peel off .

My friend was describing 590 as “great if you weigh under 190”.

I got mine back in January 2018 and enjoyed it quite a bit as a larger than 548 or 545 (aka 558) wings I had before it. Fred rode it for 4 years and showed some class just playing around and in competitions.

I fell in love with light and elegant 647 kitefoil fuselage introduced along 637/590 wings and I still ride one. In January 2020 I got larger/lightwindier and more appropriate for my 210 lbs 695 wing, then six months later I was lucky to get and start riding 800 wing.
I mean lucky…I wanted 590, 695 and 800 the moment they were announced and while I was told I had number 2 590 sold in US, by the time I was ordering 695 and 800 Moses already cut off bunch of importers by consolidation and it became hard getting new models fast.

Leaving surf fuselage to history I was hoping to get a race wing, a freeride wing and a lightwind wings all fit same fuselage and I’m there now. Some folks argue it’s easier to deal with two bolts and swap whole airplane, as compared to three bolts attaching the wing, yet carrying an extra aluminum stick when flying to kiting destination is not ideal.

Big thanks to Tony Logosz for designing 590 and 633!

Yeah I am about 160lbs . I rode 558 , the other day . It was actually really fun . Low end much worse, but I like the way it handled, more free and mixed up in the 3 axis . 590 more locked in, but more pitch sensitive . Very different .


I do keep the other 633-684 wings , more for surfiness than their low end enhancing. Really low end their aren’t any waves so I find speed more fun then.
