Starboard iQFoil 85 S2A Windfoil Board Youth & Junior Class
The Starboard iQFoil 85 S2A is a windfoil board designed for junior and youth riders seeking a stable, progressive platform ready to support learning from the first outings to the initial foiling experiences. Its wide shape, evolving configuration, and dedicated construction make it a versatile solution for schools, young athletes, and families.
Product Overview
This board was developed as an evolution of the iQFoil 85, and the Surface-To-Air version adds a central Deep Tuttle Box and a two-fin setup, designed to simplify progression. The goal is to offer control, stability, and ease of use through various stages of technical growth.
Key Features
Stable and Intuitive Shape
The wide profile helps maintain a balanced riding position, instilling confidence in lighter riders and facilitating the learning of initial movements.
Complete Evolutionary Path
The iQFoil 85 S2A is designed to accompany the rider from entry-level to advanced progression: first with an easier and more controllable setup, then towards planing, and finally towards foiling.
Surface-To-Air Configuration
The presence of a central fin and a rear fin allows for easier management in the early learning stages, improving directional stability, control, and confidence in the water.
Facilitated Transition to Foiling
The enlarged cut-aways help reduce wetted surface and make detachment from the water smoother, promoting a gradual and more accessible transition to flight.
Progression-Oriented Technical Setup
The deck with a recessed mast track, sharp rear rails, and beveled nose work together to improve trim, control, and ease of take-off, providing more efficient riding even in the learning phases.
Who it is recommended for
Junior and Youth Riders
It is an ideal board for young windsurfers who want to embark on a structured technical journey, with a stable platform that is already geared towards athletic progression.
Schools and Sports Centers
Thanks to its versatility, it is also suitable for sailing schools and clubs that need a board capable of covering multiple learning levels consistently.
Sporty Families
Its ease of use in the initial stages and its evolutionary potential also make it appealing for family settings where the board is used by young riders undergoing technical development.
Technical Advantages
Extra Large Cut-Aways
The large cut-aways help the board to release from the water more easily, contributing to a faster lift-off into foiling.
Recessed Mast Track
The recessed mast track promotes a more upright riding position and better connection between the rig and the deck.
Sharp Rails and Beveled Nose
The rear rails promote acceleration and release, while the beveled nose improves control and reduces abrupt reactions upon contact with the surface.
Reinforced Foil Box
The board integrates a structure designed to best distribute foil loads and support advanced use safely.
Foil-Specific Footstraps
Lightweight and adjustable straps allow for a functional foiling setup, with more precise control of foot position and trim during riding.
Q&A
Is this board suitable for beginners?
Yes, the S2A version is specifically designed to offer an easier and safer entry into windsurfing and progression towards foiling, thanks to its stability and fin configuration.
Is it a foil-only board?
No, it is designed to accompany the rider on a progressive journey. It can initially be used in a more accessible mode and then evolve towards foiling.
Who is the 85 cm width designed for?
The width is designed for junior and youth riders who need a more controllable, stable, and proportionally sized board compared to models intended for heavier athletes.
Can it be a good choice for a sailing school?
Yes, because it allows for following multiple learning stages with a single product, from basic setup to the more technical phase of transitioning to foiling.
What is the advantage of the enlarged cut-aways?
They help reduce friction with the water during acceleration phases and make the transition from surface riding to foiling easier.
Is the board also suitable for riders undergoing technical development?
Absolutely yes. This is one of its strengths: it is designed to be intuitive at first but also capable of supporting more advanced subsequent steps.
Why choose it
The Starboard iQFoil 85 S2A is a technical yet accessible board, designed to build confidence, accelerate learning, and offer clear progression from introductory windsurfing to foiling. It is a particularly attractive solution for those seeking stability, versatility, and technical development in a single platform.
