Laughingman,
I'd either get her a Impulse setup with the carbon fuselage, and the short Galaxy board as the less expensive option,
Or get the Moses 633 with 91cm fluente mast and the T38 carbon board.
Set it up strapless and she will ride them fine.
I'm 75kg on land and 633 on 120cm board is magic.

Tried the new huge 873 wing - not good for kite foiling, great for foil surfing. Too much lift on front like the Lift 200 wing. Had high hopes for this one, but was disappointing for kiting.
Tested the 683 wing for a while - not good for kite foiling. Maybe ok for foil surfing. Not a well balanced wing.
Tested the 633 wing for a while - great for kite foiling and big wave kite foiling. Doesn't outrun bigger waves. Only caveat is having a long enough mast track to put in the back for proper balance. I like the 170 Lift wing better than this wing - more carvy and fun, boosts better, backloops better, tacks better, but just a tiiiny bit faster on a wave.
Have you ridden the Cloud9 S24 (or LF Impulse)? What would be the equivalent Lift wing, the 150 or 170? I tried a friends S24 and it goes super early but is a bit limited in speed, not necessarily a problem, just wondering how the Lift compares. Have no experience with the 633.

Impulse and moses have almost identical lift at low speed. Impulse slightly less.
