We compared them in the shop the other day. They are virtually identical . The new 82cm mast and 679 wing

Looks pretty sweet. Was going to come in and fondle it but went for a session instead.

I am considering getting a 450 stabilizer to combine with my 683.
What will be the difference if any?
Also may get the 710 fuse so also wondering if different to the 749 fuselage?

No difference between 749 and 710 riding-wise. 710 is just more compact.
450 will increase front foot pressure so I had to shim it 2 degrees to point up to preserve same stance. 450 is much more resistant to abuse and tips wear than 483 though.

the 450 gives a bit more surf-feel to the front wing, and yes more front foot foot pressure which I like. The 683S/679 is a very nice wing.

What about weight, is 679 any lighter?
Do you mind posting pics of 679 and 683s side by side please?
How about 421 vs 425 comparison?

Anyone have any idea when the W1100 wings will show up in the US? I heard it was this month, but that’s it. Are the 82cm Carbon masts already here? Thanks!

Here's a couple pics of the 683 and 679 wings together. The first pic is the 679 on top of the 683. They are IMO identical. The distance from the leading edge to the tip is exactly the same on both wings. Sorry , I do not have the 421 Stabilizer in stock for a comparison.

It looks like they rounded off the extremely sharp and fragile wingtips from the 683S.
