It is very interesting what will happened when you will add shim to Onda?
If you have rail on board should you use it any way to improve some characteristics?
Will be faster wing? Will you loose light wind ability?
I like Onda ver much - best foil ever
Easy, stable, super light wind, not so slow. I can go close to 50 km/h - downwind.
Happy that you share experience

I have a question. Does anyone knows for sure the name of designer of 590/633 wings? I heard a rumor it was a big shot guy in US...

The 633 resembles Ketos wave wings in many parameters. There is a little griping about this if you dig through the French foil forum.
Have not heard of any formal accusations of stealing though, whoever the designer might be.
Design elements of wing shapes, like boat hull shapes or surfboard shapes, are not patentable anyway, as far as I know.

Not even close. The wings have different profiles, outlines and curves.
I have riden both foils and they are as different as night an day.

The story I heard was that 590/633 were not designed by Moses themselves but by another major brand working with them. No stealing but interesting cooperation

What about scoop and rocker of the T38LTD ?
Just received some more, they will only stay for the night though.
It has a good 8cm of scoop when tail pressed down, or in other words, the foil plate taken as 0.
Cheers,
Frank
