my son is riding it with 330 stab. He is 65kg
I tried it but only for 5 min and in flat water, very well balanced setup but I am 100+ kg and prefer the 633 in the waves
A little bit faster then 633

it'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

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.

I 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.

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.

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.

Really, the heavy/bulky surf fuselage is something that set me back off from riding 633-683s-679. Also 483-450 stabilizers are relatively thick and not as awesome as 425

What wind does she ride now?

How does the 421 stab pair with the 679?

Does anyone ride this combo?

Yes, only way to go! Perfect match. 483 is bad in my opinion unless Sup or surf.

One fact about any talk about "the best stab to use for the bigger wings" is the fact hardly anybody can agree a common ideal rear wing size, and disagreement is a common factor.
I have tried the full range of moses stabs (excluding the 400) and have my favourite which works brilliantly for me, and recently took advice from a pro foil racer about which stab to use for my moses 720 blatz pro wing- (the 718 now on the kite fuse),
what could go wrong? disaster, it was awful in my opinion.
so it just shows that when it comes to stabilizer choice,look for clarification under "can of worms"

On my patch of water, open choppy wavy seas and flat low tide lagoon the 483 stab on the Moses surf wings has the most followers, and nearly all the experienced guys have tried other variations available from moses,

One very experienced foiler at our spot was excited last week when his new 450 stab arrived from moses, and he could not wait to get to the water to try it on his 633, 3 hrs later he came ashore and declared it unsuitable, as it was unstable at speed to the point of crashing out, I had to stay quiet as this was exactly my findings from my trials of the same wing combo at flag beach a few weeks earlier, but I did not know he had ordered the 450 stab, and he only bought it because he had heard it was a superb combination, so you see this happens a lot, moses make a lot of rear wings, many of them are made from Marmite! (love it or hate ite material)
