Starboard IQfoil carbon foil

The Starboard IQfoil carbon foil is the official wind foil for the women and men for the next Olympic Games.

This Starboard IQfoil carbon foilset consists of:

• Extra rigid C400 carbon mast of 95 cm
• 115 cm plus fuselage
• Carbon front wing of 900 cm2
• Carbon back wing 255 -2 degrees
• Starboard wind foil storage bag

The Starboard IQfoil foil is only intended for competition surfers who want to participate in the IQfoil competitions. This windfoil has an extra stiff full carbon mast of 95 cm long. The mast is long enough to have enough distance between the bottom of the board and the wings, which makes the wings less likely to get out of the water and the extra stiffness allows you to push the board even more extreme upwind.

This high performance foil allows you to wind around 5 to 6 knots. This wind foil good up wind very well and can almost be for the wind and is therefore extremely suitable for coarse racing.

Trimmable back wing

With this fuselage you get 6 ‘spacers’ delivered to trim the angle of the rear wing. The recommended angle between -0.5 degrees and +0,5 degrees.

Advice settings for 115 cm plus fuselages:

-1.5° for strong wind (>25 knots)
-1° for wind speed around 20 to 25 knots
-0.5° for wind speeds around 20 knots
-0° for wind speeds around 15 to 20 knots
+ 0.5° for wind speeds between 10 and 15 knots
+1° for wind speeds less than 8 knots
