thanks joe, i do know i have to get a new fuse and stab but it sounds like a waste of money since the mast is probably not strong enoughjoekitetime wrote: ↑Thu Mar 25, 2021 3:14 pmThe question isn't what front wing for that board. Most any wing foil will work on a beginner board that you will ditch in 1-3 weeks. The question is which foil for your moses mast and fuse, and that answer is none. No wing foil works on the kite fuse unless you buy their kite to surf adapter. Personally I'd go with another company for winging than moses. Moses does not excel on the wing foil line in my opinion, although they do make several wings that work.
But for winging you are starting over regarding foil equipment. The mast is too long, for sure too long for learning. And, it may or may not be too flexible to hold a big foil. It probably just can't support a huge foil.
I hope that helps!
I ditched Moses last year after having owned every foil and stab they made up to last year. I think they make quality gear for sure, and I sure did like them for kite foiling.
I've ridden fanatic, naish and fone and have been very happy with their lines of boards. I do prefer fone right now due to being the lightest and I don't ride straps. I'm riding the 75L and 46L. The 46L is my favorite board of all time. However, again, I was happy with the fanatics, the naishes and the fone lines. They all work great! As you progress there is a magic board size which is a combination of the smallest and lightest board you can get going on compared to a board big enough that it isn't a hassle to get going. That combo depends on the conditions you ride in and your skill level. It is pretty easy to get up on really small boards in windy conditions, but if you go far from your launch they are more difficult to paddle back if the wind shuts down. Big boards are a chore but best in fluky crappy winds or when you just want to cruise, or really light winds. A "medium" board is a good compromise for a one board quiver.papasmerf wrote: ↑Fri Mar 26, 2021 5:44 amthanks joe, i do know i have to get a new fuse and stab but it sounds like a waste of money since the mast is probably not strong enoughjoekitetime wrote: ↑Thu Mar 25, 2021 3:14 pmThe question isn't what front wing for that board.

it does suck that i will ditch that board in a few weeks, but i did only pay 200 bucks for it so that is good,
can you recomend a board for next stage after i ditch that one?
Based solely on memory and perception, my f-one carbon foils/masts etc weigh the same as my moses did, all dependent upon size of front wing.Thijs77 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 26, 2021 10:46 pmThanks for your explanation Joe! I have the same problem with moses, lot's of gear.. I noticed that when I change the frontwing and stab depending on conditions, I always have to get used to that combo again. Not ideal for mastering flying foot changes and tacks winging.. The W950 feels ok but I will demo the phantom 1480.
I like the swings and rocket V2 5'4 a lot so why not the foil f-one too How about weight moses setup vs f-one with carbon mast?
