I’ve just got my new toy. Surf fuselage with mast mount positioned 50mm forward (closer to the wing)
Is this the new 710, or something custom?
Custom. Same wing-stabilizer spacing as 749 but mast forward.

I don't get it, why not just move your feet 50mm up or move the mast 50mm back? honest question :)

is it to use with an old board that the tracks are to far fwd with foot straps?

Respect for the professional clean work. :thumb:
Would you or who ever produced this black beauty think about building further moses custom fuselages, for example a short mono to mount strut over the wing?
Or maybe share the 3D raw data of the two conection forms? Thanks

Couple of reasons:
- even though I’m riding strapless, my feet have that happy place to stand. Back foot against the kicker and front foot knows where to step :) So switching from 590 to 633 takes moving the mast which is inconvenient.
- a friend of mine is a tall guy and his board doesn’t allow moving mast more back
- it’s spring and I want new gear! I’d buy a 81cm mast a between-590-and-633 wing for 647 mast, a 710 fuselage, a 450 stabilizer but none of that is available.

So I’m calling it 743 fuselage
One correction- mast is 40mm forward

Some more of fuselage porn

I did talk to my local dealer and none of cool stuff I wanted is available.
I’m kind of frustrated - since I started buying Moses gear I hooked bunch of people to buy same - new or gear I demoed and I kind of feel a need to get to ride new gear myself and new gear doesn’t come.
Instead there’s windsurf foils, race foils, tuttle masts, huge boards and I’m entering season on same wings I had in Feb 2018
And what’s worse - 2018 gear is suddenly 25% more expensive so when I wanted a 683s wing I got a quote a $100 more than last year. And 683s is 2018 wing.

I would like an 80/1 cm mast in carbon or aluminum.
Do any other brands this size fit?

You can buy a Hoverglide pedestal, 30" mast and an adapter for $200-250 total. The pedestal and adapter contribute to additional 1.5" of the mast length.

I was hoping 2019 81cm mast would become available in October ‘18 but it’s mid-April and I needed gear to ride.
