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.
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.
