Hey loving my new big Italian (633) kitefoiling setup Slightly .Modified to fit slingshot 610mm mast.For shallow water kite cruising Complete..Setup weight with DIY carbon board 5.9kg. .....Minus the board.. 3.75kg for mast ,fuse baseplate,wings ,not bad.....Performance wise this beast rocks .Gets up on the plane straightup without rocketing skywards.Once up rock solid steady.without excessive front foot pressure to keep nose down ...This thing powers up surprisingly fast and maintans a quick pace .not slow or draggy ,This thing excells in transitions, whips around into toeside with ease and continues to maintain toeside tracking as long as you want Great for doing figure 8s .Footplacement seems to be very forgiving when it comes to Gybing doesn't seem to stall and stays up on the foil through gybes and turns. Wow only tried with a short mast and ventilation wasn't a problem .But will be interesting to see how it goes with a longer mast .And only kited in mushy chop .Bet it would be great in the surf too.Anyway thats my Rant on this Great foil....
Shaped using coarse sandpaper with sanding block.formed the rocker with heavy weight and clamping . didn't vacuum bag ,just epoxy,carbon cloth ,heavy peel ply with paper towels to absorb excess resin cover with plastic wrap.then clamp down .The foam is also great for making wings too .The foam is epoxy friendly too ,wont melt it.. Some of my foil prototypes

really interested in the ur setup as I come from a slingshot system and looking to upgrade to Moses and just cant bring myself to invest in the carbon mast for that kind of money if slingy is an option..
any real life or short term experiences with ur set up after riding it a bit .. any corrosion or similar happening and how worries were u about the drilling in the fuse and stiffness of the connection ..?
cheers and have fun with it
Hey .No corrosion issues so far .Seems to be holding together all ok too.The mast fuse connection is holding out fine.Still loving the moses large wing experience. ...
hey man cheers for ur time and effort to post this so far
I want to copy ur setup is there any chance for a detail pic of the drilled out fuselage without the bolts in and do you think the modification is gonna effect disassembly in the future ..?
Hey here's some closeups of the mods .The holes on the fuselage were the easiset drilling out to 8mm from 6mm.Shouldn't have too much impact if later on if I want to use a carbon mast .The slingy mast took a bit of grinding,
but still plenty of alloy to take the 8mm bolts 
.Good luck
