Grig. Awesome the photo is the 633? That is where I ride my 590 on 2019 DC 3'6". Tells me I will be fine without shimming and if I do need to go back I can?
Yes, the photo is of mast position for 633 wing on 2016 42” Dwarfcraft. Ignore the numbers by the tracks. As long as you can stand your back foot right over rear mast plate bolt you’ll be fine.
The mast position with 590 wing is 1” forward from that

I feel confident now it will work thanks to all that replied. I will update after I ride it. Just got tracking and it is on the way:)
Should I take my 590 set up? Funny going to baja for 2 weeks and have never rode 633, but I think I will fall in love...

I’d say - take both. 590 is awesome for covering more distance and 633 is lowend magic but wouldn’t take you far as fast. Take both.
I took 590 to La Ventana last January before I could even try it first. And I found Slingshot riders falling in love with that wing there. Just to read Gunnar’s exciting review of 633 within a week and to regret a bit of not ordering both right away
Which 633 are you getting - Moses or Slingshot?

I think your right. I was debating if i should take both. I get my new SS Ghostwhisper 91 v2 (633) Friday. To cold here to ride for me so it will stay a virgin until 19th in Baja.
Appreciate your feedback.

I agree! I have both the 633 and 590 (and also but still new 637) and this is a wonderful complete setup. I mean, very easy to use, super stable and fun. The 633 is my strapless LW and small wave setup and the 590 is the freeride setup that i use to go faster, jump (with straps) and it is very easy and stable. Next year i plan to use the 633 on a 95cm pocket board strapless for even more fun. Love this wing

Are you using all of these with one mast?

I took my 633 and 590 to Brazil. I didn't use the 590 at all. Had great small waves in ocean and was taking solo trips up the coast to hunt waves.

Same for me. Small dwarfcraft, 590 and 633. Took them to Brazil. Did not touch the 590.

No, i use the 71cm with the Onda 633 and the 101cm mast with the 590 and 637. Just come back from a trip to Cuba where 95% of the time an hydrofoil was needed! Very light wind all week but a fantastic week for us
