Thanks everybody for all the advice. I will try wingfoiling in the future for sure but cannot imagine selling my onda and peak kites!!!
I am not selling my Peaks neither but I have to admit that Wingfoiling definitely cut into my time with my Peak 4, 5 and 8 and 633 combo. I am still kitesurfing my surfboard in good waves and love it so I won't sell that gear neither....

I agree that total wing area is very misleading for its ability to provide lift. I have also winged very powered on my 633 and of the 20-30 wings I've ridden, I would rate it the absolute worst. I've even ridden the 695 on kite fuse and preferred it over the 633 for winging. The 633 was by far my favorite wing for kite foiling.
