I’m looking to buy a micro and I would like to know if the track position is that much different for using a big surf wing . Thanks

Yes it is. The 2020 DCMicro track is about 2" rearward compared to 2019. Much better for big wings. I waited to get the 2020 for this very reason.

Thanks Eric , I can get a killer deal on the 2019 micro but I will wait and get the 2020 micro . Does the 2020 have a concave deck ?

Yes it does. It's a really nice board. For a big wing I'd go 2020. If you're riding a 590 type wing 2019, or 2020

That explains it!

I got a 2020 and it seemed like it took less front foot pressure on my 633 wing.... good to know!

2019 might be fine for that. Check the fuse length on that. If it's 2" shorter than Slingshot/Moses 633 fuse it will be fine, I think. The SS/Moses fuse is 710mm. Better yet, post up re Lift 150 on 2019 Micro both here, and on Kiteforum

Mixed feelings.
While 2019 Micro was pretty awesome the track was too much forwards barely sufficient to be used with 633/483. With 450 stabilizer you’d want to mount mast further back than you can. Worked magic with 590 wing though.

The 2020 Micro has track too far back and while it works great for large wing, you wish you could mount mast half an inch forward while riding 590 wing - but you can’t.
