I just ordered the W720 wing to put on my Onda fuselage and test to see how much faster it is, i hope it can be similar to my 590. The 633 and 720 could be a great combo with one fuselage.
Is the W720 wing intended for kitesurf? I cannot see it on the Moses website
Do you know what characteristics it's supposed to have?
Is it simply a smaller version of the 790 wing?
Very little information so far as it is a new wing. In theory for windsurf but i will test it in kitesurfing. Check the above picture of the 720 it is quite different than the 790. Not as deep, i have tested the 790 but did not like it much. Way too much front foot pressure, not better than the 633 IMO. I am looking for a freeride, faster wing on the same onda fuselage so that i can use my onda 633 foil with only one extra wing for more speed and for jumping. Once i receive it i will take pictures beside the 633 and 790 so it will be easier to see the difference. I am taking a risk here but i think it will be different and faster with less front foot pressure at higher speed than my 633.

@Seb Why not the 683 wing for jumping and more speed?

683S works great speed and jumping. Very interested in how it compares to W720.

The 720 looks like a smaller/ higher aspect ration version of the 790 wing. It looks slightly similar to the 683s, but higher aspect ratio.
Did they say when the wing is available?

This new W720 is higher AR compare to the 683s and that is why i decided to go with it. I think it could potentially achieve more speed, in fact Moses said it IS the fastest wing for the Onda fuselage. The wing is available now. I should get mine in a week or so.

720 looks very high AR. Will ride quite differently from 633 and even 790.

I was originally thinking that I would buy a 683s to complment my 633.... but now I have both the 790 and the 720 to choose from. Spoilt for choice.
First world problems!
