799 is very nice for waves, 999 is too big
did anyone try the 940 for kitefoiling?
I am looking for a 2 or 3 wing quiver for kiting and winging.
I have 999 and 945 for winging and 633 for kiting. I wonder if I should replace the 633 with 940 or 799 as a kitefoil + highwind wingfoil?
110kg
tx for any advice

Hi, wondering if anyone tried and has feedback, on riding the new W699 wing combined with the old fuselage 710 and S483 stabilizer (and old 91cm mast)?
First of all, are these even compatible? Is there a way to put the W699 on the old fuselage 710? Ultimately I'm looking for a smaller front wing (currently riding W633) that would handle better the stronger wind. Thanks!

I have the 799 now with 370 stab. You will need to use the SAB washer to put an M8 wing on the 710 M6 fuselage
I do it with the 799 no problem

I tried W945 for light wind kiting...
Works ok.
If you have one...
Get something smaller...
W940 will not help much winging if you have a W945.
I at 110 kg also use a W695...and crave for a W800...for kiting.

I kite a w800 s399 m92 and it’s awesome except for ventilation on wing tip breaches in deep carves. Instant crash for me. Have to get low and close to the water when carving.
Can also wing it but only tried once. 95 kg beginner and needed 20 kts to get up.

Anyone else waiting for the S430 to be released? Strange that it's taking so long.
