Have had several awesome sessions on a 3.7m and Moses 683/101 in gusts to 30-35 knots. At the upper end I think a sail closer to 3.0m could be more comfortable. We will see what Santa can do.
I find the way the foil tracks through the carves at speed to be so much fun. Being able to push the heel side carves to the point were the rail is near the water and the foil gurgles is loads of fun. At first I foiled more as a low wind option to windsurfing but now I realize there are plenty of ****ty high wind windsurfing days that foiling is a better option.
On the topic of windsurfer sail size and wind speed. How about gusts to 50mph on a 4.2 Hucker, I am 180lbs. And it was not a big deal as the water was glassy smooth. I mean 5 ft from a grassy flat shoreline. And I gotta say at 43.5mph those jibes had some G's.
Do you use the 483 stab? What fuselage?
Yes I use the 483 stab and the 838 fuselage.
This is what I have as well. I've been contemplating getting a longer fuselage because there's way too much backfoot pressure, but the 900 fuselage is not listed as compatible with the 683.
Interesting, as I find the the 683 super balanced in all conditions. But I ride strapless. I just put the Sail 2/3 the way back on my Roberts and jump on and go. So not much help on equipment settings.
I rode with a guy in Maui who had the 790 and 683 and ripped with them on 3 different slingshot boards (strapped) and loved them.
The guys at Sailworks are great snd might be able to give you some advice on equipment/foil settings.
Is your foil mounted on tracks? Mine's in a tuttle finbox, which I think is just too far back. FWIW, the shortest Moses windfoil fuselage is now 900. I can't imagine foiling without straps (I have them set up really big though).
Mine is also tuttle and I have used it in 4 different boards from formula, to custom to slingshot. My friend also has one and loves it. I am sure its something simple that the experts at Moses or Sailworks could advise on.
I just looked at the 900 fuselage. The distance between the front wing and the mast is the same. The distance to the stabiliser is greater. I got some shims for the stabiliser. Hope they help the foil balance.

I put a 1.5 degree shim on the stab and it improved things a lot.

Great to hear!! I was talking to Bruce at Sailworks yesterday but forgot to ask for any suggestions to your problem. However I took the plunge and got the Moses 790/450 with 900 fuselage and 85cm mast. The sailworks sale pushed me over the edge.

I got the shims from my local dealer (for free!). He had stacks of Moses wings, fuses, masts lying around. I was like a diabetic at a candy store.

Let us know how you get on. BTW, is the longer fuse a necessity for newer wings like the 790? From what I've seen the mounting holes look identical.

I will be a while before I get to try the new foil as it is winter in Canada, but I get to play my favourite sport, ice hockey when they allow us back in the Arenas. Stuck snowboarding and Xcross country skiing 
.
I believe you do need the new 900 Fuselage for the new wings, but the old masts are still compatible
