Starboard Foil IQ Carbon 900/255

Starboard Foil IQ Carbon 2022 Update

The iQFoil Carbon is supplied with the iQFoil Carbon 95cm mast. It is stiffer and than the standard Carbon 95 mast, giving you more control and maximum flight stability, unlocking the next gear with ability to push further and with more confidence.

Fuselages: 115 Plus and 95 Plus
Front Wing: 900
Tail Wing: 255 -2°

The 255 tail wing is the default tail wing for all foil racing. Thin, fast and super-efficient, it's a staple for your racing foil quiver even as it evolves. The gentle moustache shape helps with yaw-stability.

The iQFoil sets are supplied with the 255 -2° which allows for lower angles than the standard 255. This helps to increase speed and wind range in stronger winds.

 
Compared to the original Race, the iQFoil swaps the 115 Standard fuselage for the new 115 Plus fuselage. 
 
This new fuselage shifts the front wing forwards and reduces tail wing angle to make it more aligned with the front wing, creating what we call a High Efficiency Foil Geometry (NZ Pat. App. No. 751177). With both wings flying through the water at more parallel angles, you release more speed, you get quicker acceleration and more control.
 
"It's like someone released the handbrake" Gonzalo Costa Hoevel, PWA Foil Champion. 
 

IT'S HERE: FROM WEEKEND RACES TO OLYMPIC GOLD. LET THE BEST SAILOR WIN.
"Lining up for race one was surreal, all the big names were present. Some of the best freestylers, PWA superstars and Olympic legends all on the line together was so, so 'LIT'. It felt like the windsurfing community had connected back together and it was the start of something special. 

The racing was the most overwhelming, craziest and dangerously radical I have ever witnessed. I don't think there will ever be an event more mind-blowing. " 

Tom Squires, GBR-931

A NEW ADVENTURE BEGINS
"It's been an amazing journey to get foiling into the Windsurfing Olympics. For our team, it all started one morning of January 13 2018, when Casper Bouman introduced me to Aaron MacIntosh who encouraged us to propose foiling for 2024.

In February, I visited Aaron in New Zealand just to have fun and go foiling together. By March, we formed the first working party: Remi Vila, Gonzalo Costa Hoevel, Nick Dempsey, Antonio Cozzolino and myself. I sent the iQFoil submission to World Sailing on January 31 2019 and the rest, as they say, was history. 

Special thanks go to Gonzalo Costa Hoevel for the incredible hours of testing and all work behind the scenes that continues to this day. Also to Svein Rasmussen for reaching out to Councils and MNAs, and finally Antonio Cozzolino who got us through each milestone and past the finish line.

After seeing Starboard's innovative Race foil flying with weekend racers, then adopted by PWA racers and then seeing Formula sailors and Olympians joining in, it was clear that the Race foil was a uniting force.  From this opportunity was born the iQFoil vision:

To inspire windsurfers of all levels, passionate weekend warriors, professionals and Olympians alike, to race together at a wide range of exciting events, on fair, simple and affordable foiling equipment of the highest performance.

We are very excited to see iQFoil grow. It's been a tremendous team effort to get this far. We're halfway there and thank you to all those who are supporting and contributing. Let's go!"
