Hi
someone riding with this wing? (moses w679)
its good for carving and light wind? what its the top speed? (aprox)
its similar to the duotone´s wing carve 950?
big thanks
it's like a slightly faster and more agile Moses 633
Good summary. Many of us have switched and believe it is the best balance of sporty but large for light wind / waves. It is also boostable without feeling like landing on a cafeteria tray. The other thing is with the race stabs you can actually get the thing balanced without extreme moves for mast backward like I had to do with the 633. Way more balanced lift wise.Foil wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 5:19 pmit's like a slightly faster and more agile Moses 633
but there is a pay back for this, its less stable at slower speed,
many of us at our spot have had both wings, and some have decided the 679 is for them, and many others have decided the 633 suits them better, it was a hard call for me and a few others, and we had to sail them back to back for many sessions to finally come to a decision.
if your strapless then the high speed stability that the 679 offers can be very enjoyable,
as for top speed then that easy as we measured the 679 time and again and could not push it much faster than 27 knts, mind you that is fast, very fast, and its easy to keep up a high average speed over a normal session, the 633 top speed is just over 26knts but needs strapped feet to keep it going at that speed, and a lot of practice with precise mast and strap placement.
for waves of any sort then the choice bends back to the 633, but the 679 is still very wave friendly, you just need to keep it moving to avoid low speed stall
Hey, tangent....for a female in the 150lb range....what would be similar to the 679 from a low speed perspective....695 or 800? I bought her a 679 but its still in the box....I wanted it under the tree at christmas but wasn't gonna get the fuse yet. Pisses me off to have to buy that big fuse a second time.grigorib wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 9:37 pmI loved my 683s and 679 which are same wing. Once I rode 683s I sold my 633 and never looked back. Reached about 26 MPH one time I decided to measure top speed. Great wing yet later I switched to 695 and later to 800 because they mount on lighter, more compact 647 fuselage. Also higher aspect wings are a bit more roll stable, not that I would really care about that though.
679 is awesome but depending on your weight/style/kites/conditions you might want to consider 695 or 800.
For 150lbs the 695 would be plenty lowendish wing. The 800 might seem as too large wingspan-wise, but it’s also smooth and even more lowendish, yet it can scream pretty fast and be very stable at speed if one enjoys fast rides.cwood wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 9:47 pmHey, tangent....for a female in the 150lb range....what would be similar to the 679 from a low speed perspective....695 or 800?
