72 is thicker mast and is reportedly way more stiff than 71.
Sounds like you got nice setup

It’ll be interesting to get some reviews on the w950 as a few of the dealers have had it and not really given much away about its performance .

Great!
I'm looking forward to your 950 review.
Right now I"m planning to upgrade my wingfoil from 873 to something a bit more speedy, but actually I like to have the biggest possible frontwing because It allows you to use the smallest possible windwing.
So I'm inclined more towards 1100 than 950, but who knows, maybe I could change my mind I people is raving about 950.
For me the perfect front wing will be a scaled up 679, which I love for both kitesurfing and high wind winging.

950 is 60% step in area from 679. I think 100% step to 1100 is a huge gap - like 590-633 was for kiters

can you please tell me what your weight is and also what board size, wing size and wind conditions you are able to use the 679 for winging?

Caught a sick session at Flagbeach today. Wind was light and I was out on the Takoon 6m Wing and the Moses 950 on the 85cm Project Cedrus Mast. It is amazing being able to get out alone in such nice waves. Enjoy
