Starboard iQFoiL
The iQFOiL program brings Olympic Windsurfing to new heights with the incredible technological advancements of foiling.
The iQFoiL program has designed a streamlined pathway from Junior to Youth onto Olympic Gold.
The iQFoiL 95 is the official 2024 Olympic Windsurfing Class, used by the Senior age group.
The iQFoiL 85 is the board used for the Junior class, keeping the same board when transitioning to the Youth class.

The Concept at a glance
iQFoil 85 Youth & Junior: The Junior and Youth model with its shape based on the iQFoil 95 with reduced proportions to adapt to lighter riders. Additional footstrap positions and reduced rail cutaway sizes improve performance in fin mode.
iQFoil 85 Surface-To-Air: This board simplifies windsurfing: A clear path from entry level windsurfing all the way up to performance foiling in the official World Sailing Youth & Junior class.
Using the fin option, it becomes the perfect beginner and progression level board. The transition from surface to air is extra easy with extra large cutaways on the board. Even light riders can easily activate the foil for the smoothest transition into their first foiling flights.

Sharp Rails and Beveled Nose
The sharp rails in the tail allows the boards to get planing and reach take off speed more easily. Additionally, the board will bounce off the water if you clip the water surface instead of sticking and throwing you into a catapult.
The beveled nose improves aerodynamics and ultimately provides more control at high speeds.

The New IQFoil 95
Dimensions: 220x95cm. 196 litersThe iQFoil 95 trims the width down to facilitate transport as check-in baggage. At 95cm, the board packed in a board bag fits comfortably inside airport scanners. The iQFoil 95 also includes deeper cut-aways than the iQFoil 100 that reduces tail volume and tail surface area. This helps to promote an even easier take-off.

The Foil
STARBOARD IQFOIL FOIL SETBack to back 2017/2018 World Champion and Vice World Champion, making it the most successful racing foil in windsurfing to date: Starboard’s Race foil started the iQFoil project and it is the foil that made foiling in the Olympics a possibility. Its innovative racing geometry was the breakthrough that enabled foiling to cover Windsurfing Olympics’ wind range and performance requirements. Compared to the original Race foil, the iQFoil foil set has been upgraded with a stiffer UHM Carbon mast and a 900 front wing for extra light-wind performance. It comes with the 115cm Plus Fuselage for upwind and downwind racing and for higher winds and racing formats with more reaching. The Plus fuselage has an adjustable tail wing angle that allows the rider to increase control in high winds or increase power in light winds.

Foil Box
The Foil Box is larger and stronger than a normal fin box to distribute loads over a larger area. It is built using solid sheets of 20 mm thick high-density PVC with 8 mm thick carbon fibre walls, and has a flat, parallel bottom which allows the box to take both types of foil bases: tapered ‘Tuttle-style’ base and rectangular foil bases.In either case, it is strongly recommended for the front of the foil’s base to reach the bottom of the box. This ensures that the vertical lifting load from the foil will be carried by both the front wall of the box and the bottom wall of the box.
