Starboard IQfoil aluminium 800

The Starboard IQfoil aluminium 800 is the official wind foil for the IQfoil youth classes up to 17 years. This set consists of an extra rigid aluminum mast of 95cm, 2 fuselages (115 cm plus and 95 cm plus) a carbon front wing of 800 cm2 and a carbon back wing of 255 cm2 (-2 degrees) and storage bag. The back wing is adjustable on both fuselages. This is a high performance windfoil from Starboard for a reasonable amount, suitable for the competition oriented windfoiler.

The Starboard IQfoil aluminium 800 is only intended for young competition surfers who want to participate in the IQfoil competitions. This windfoil has an extra stiff full aluminum 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 up around 6 to 7 knots. This wind foil good up wind very well and can almost be for the wind and is therefore extremely suitable for coarse racing. The 95 cm plus fuselage can be used for strong winds or half wind courses.

Trimmable fuselage

With this fuselage you get 6 ‘spacers’ delivered to trim the angle of the rear wing. The recommended angle is -1.5 degrees or -2.0 degrees. Because the front wing is further forward than with the regular fuselages (both the 115 cm and the 95 cm) these fuselages provide much more lift.

Advice settings for 115 cm plus fuselages:

-2° for >>10 knots (recommended default mode)
-1.5° for high winds 8 to 9 knots
-1° for wind speed around 7 knots
-0.5° for wind speeds around 7 knots
-0° for wind speeds around 6 knots
+1° for wind speeds around 5 knots
