I'm choosing between 699 vs 799 as my main freeride wing for kitefoiling. My parameters:
- 78kg
- kiting in lakes with gusty winds, mostly 8-16 knots
- LEI kites (9/11/13)
- I'm not an expert foiler (recently started succeeding with upwind tacks. Gybes and footswaps already unlocked). Still a long way of progress to go.
- Not interested in racing. I like the low-wind, pure freeride aspect of kitefoiling. I enjoy tricks like 360, sitting on the board, gybes, tacks etc.
- Flat water. Veeeeery rare occasions to ride waves (1 in 50 sessions)
- After spending my first year of kitefoiling on IC6 V3, I find the 633 Onda quite unstable. I'd love to have something in between these two.
I will use this with the M83, F703, S430 and B14 board (because I will also share this setup with WL1350 for pumping).
Which one would you recommend? Or maybe something entirely different? I don't really have an opportunity to test them right now :/
In the near future, I also plan to get into Wingfoil and share this setup with possibly a dedicated Wing front wing.
