I think you getting abit confusedgrigorib wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2017 3:05 pmWell, "fun" is really subjective factor. I checked with Moses directly few days ago, below is the communication
Hi,
I’m looking for a kitefoil setup which will get me up onto foil at the
lowest speed and will allow riding at lowest speeds in both transitions and
regular tacks.
Would 590 wing be a better choice than 548?
Does 590 have thicker profile than 548?
Is 590 wing a “new/better 548”?
Would 633 surf setup be suitable for above purpose (with surf fuselage and
stabilizer)?
With regards,

and a reply
Dear Mr. ***********
My answer is yes to all your questions
The 590 is a new, thicker and higher lift profile then the 548
Yes the 633 could work very well in low wind range

I waited to find lowend, early takeoff and optionally slower transition/tacks wing from Moses and I can say, girls and boys, I think I've found it.
Still I'd like to know why to buy a 548 or 550 if you have 590/558 pair?
Another question - if 590 can go as fast/stable as 558, why having 558 at all?
The fact that Frank could push the 590 to 50+ km/h speeds doesnt mean it is as fast or as stable as the 558, those are two completely different wings. The 558 acceleration and average speed will destroy the 590 anyday.
I did not test the 590, but im quite sure that the most allaround wing will still be the 550. If you can have many wings, then yes, get the 590 and get the 558 or a race wing.
