DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE !
I am sorry but FOIL’s last post has pushed me to respond
I have known this guy a very long time through the windsurf days , to the twin tip days and now to foiling .
I regularily kite with him and in very marginal winds and now on quite a few occasions whilst he is sitting on the beach with his 633 and Ozone Reo I’m out Foiling on a Moses 550:325 combo with the new Flysurfer Soul 12m.
So please don’t believe everything that you read .
Yes the 633 is a good Foil and it gets going with less power from the kite , but ultimately you’re only good as your kite in really low winds !
Don't believe the hype may be true, but 633 will still give you the lowest low end of any mainstream foil today. I thought the new Lift 200 would be even lower, but it doesn't quite work as a kite foil. Imagine what you can do on your Soul 12m with the 633... 550 is an amazing foil, but it does not have the same low end as the 633 for sure.

Yes, physics don't work that way. I don't even feel much difference between 550 and 558. 633 is worlds difference. In light air kite matters huge as well and a Soul 12 will trounce any tube kite in that size range.
