Alright girls and boys,
it's almost October and I'd guess it's 50 days from seeing 2019 line of Moses gear.
The 2018 brought a sweet 637 race setup, an awesome 590 wing and amazing lightwind 633. The 647 fuselage is quite neat as well kite foiling considered. Foil SUP and windsurf got pampered with bunch of carbon toys as well and I hope someone got a kick out of those because if they're not in demand they might as well become a true niche or history. Well, the 548/558/550 wings are still being offered which means Moses is not as aggressive pulling legacy designs out of production.

It's time to post your wishes, bets and expectations for 2019 gear and hopefully give Moses last chance to review the offering and combos coming up.

Ready? Set?

I wish for larger surf and sup wings that can be pumped with rounded or turned down wing tips v stabilizer that's less affected by seaweed or at least a stabilizer without sharp edges and a lighter weight 683 wing

I only wish for a kite-specific 633 and stabilizer, that's refined for kiting (waves), rather than SUP. Hopefully a much more agile 663 for better carving on a wave.

Carbon Fuselage of course - not necessarily faster than Mike´s Lab 8)

carbon fuselage will make bigger wings float. Its not good. Best foil buoyancy is very little negative - so it it will eventually turn down but slow to have time to strapless start /without hands/.
So this is also wish - foil setup that will very slowly sink in salt water. So without alu fuse more reinforcement and less foam core :), As light as possible without float :)

Also 633 but less sharp and dangerous - with same performance

Yes, and no.

Even if it will slightly sink - it will stay up board on its side when a bit of wind - as the wind keeps it static in this position sometimes :roll:
In light wind they mostly always drop down and dolphin downwind pretty fast, so not often this happens, compared to when windy, but apparently it CAN happen.

When windy you can bodydrag to the board even when it rides on its side by its own, but still some hassle....

It is not black and white :wink:

carbon fuselage would be awesome and take Moses to the level of other top tier foils. The 633 already floats even with the Onda fuselage which is good and bad the 683 sinks slowly
