I am not a experience rider ,so i can only reflect my feelings. It was easy to use on a difficult day .For me it was a first try on a smaller wing and i want now more time on it.

Do you mind snapping a comparison picture from the front of the 633 and 720 wings laid together showing profile thickness please?
Something similar to below picture (683s over 633)

Great pictures! It seems the wing is a tad thinner than 683s, so it should feel faster. With 18% larger area than 590 it should be also a great wing for stronger wind but not too small so lowend should be very good too - better than 590.
One thing that concerns me is how far forward it sits, which naturally can’t be corrected on the given fuselage. On my 36” board I don’t have much freedom to step further forward or move mast further back.
Would definitely like to demo the wing and maybe I can stay with two wings, single fuselage and single stabilizer. I would still need two masts but it could be pretty minimalistic and sufficient dream setup

Have now a second try ,without weed
.Same feeling in general,it feels faster as the last ride, but i find the roll is not so stable (no problem) is much more stable in direction than the
633 (not so playfull). It was fun to ride upwind and downwind over a longer distance. Someone log the speed ?

I'm considering either the 720 or 683S wing as a faster alternative to my 633 wing.
Does anyone have any direct comparisons between these 2?

I sold off my 633 last week after riding the 683S for several months now...I went back to the 633 last month and it was too draggy...
