What on earth do you want to change w633 or w679? they are awesome wings. If you can't breach a wing is useless for carving.

Was going to buy a 679 for kitefoiling ,have the 633 and fuselage 710 and S483 stabilizer (don't want to buy a new fuse or stab) what are the options?
Have tried to find a s/hand ,or new,683s or 679 but no luck so far
A new 679 wing is on Ebay UK now.
Thanks Dave,I didn't look at UK sites because post brexit it's a real bast*** to import to Spain,customs taxes etc.

I'm having the same challenge, as I've just purchased the W699 wing and trying to match with my old setup, the fuselage 710 and S483 (currently using the W633).
I was told that it's possible to use the Sabfoil conical adapter (from M8 to M6), to install the new W699 wing on the old fuselage 710.
Probably would be able to try within the next few days, the new setup W699 + S483 + fuselage 710 and would provide more feedback.

Jim Stringfellow adapter to use Lift foils on Moses/SAB masts. Just saw my first one a couple days ago in the Hood River parking lot. Almost as good as my Project Cedrus mast!

First imoressions…
I haven't tried yet the W699, but just want to share some info about compatibility with my old setup.
Currently I’m riding the W633 with S483 and old fuselage 710.
First pic, … the left side is the M8 screw (which would not fit the old fuselage) and the right side, is the M6 with the conical adapter from Sabfoil, … and it fits perfectly!!
Also second pic, is side by side the W633 (1250cm2) and W699 (850cm2) … significantly smaller … cautiously optimistic how I would like the new smaller wing.
Should be able to try it out soon, and provide feedback …

Wonder how thick ihe W699 is…as it uses the same hardware W799 and bigger wings…a 35mm center screw…more than the 30mm used in fast surf wings.
Cant wait for a kite review…
If it works could make me drop the kite fuselage on trips.
