Starboard iQFOiL 95 Windfoil Board Olympic Racing Class
The Starboard iQFOiL 95 is a one-design windfoil board developed for high-level racing and adopted as the benchmark for the Olympic class. Designed to offer high performance in a wide range of conditions, it combines early planing, high-speed control, and the option to also be used in fin mode when wind or race course conditions require it.
Product Features
High-performance race board
The iQFOiL 95 is the highest performing board in Starboard's race foil range, designed to cover upwind and downwind racing with maximum efficiency. The shape is designed to ensure quick take-off, power in light winds, and control when intensity increases.
Facilitated take-off
The very pronounced tail cutaways reduce the wetted surface and volume in the stern area, promoting a quicker and more efficient take-off. This helps the board lift off the water sooner and get onto the foil with greater ease.
Control and aerodynamics
The sharp tail rails help the board gain speed and more easily reach the take-off threshold. The beveled nose improves performance during water contact and contributes to greater control at high speeds.
Recessed mast track
The concave deck with a recessed mast track allows for a more vertical and efficient sailing position. This helps to close the gap between the sail and the deck, improving trim and the connection between rider and equipment.
Convertible to fin mode
The iQFOiL 95 can also be used in fin mode in tougher conditions, thus maintaining great versatility in racing. This is a useful solution when the race course requires supplementary control or particularly challenging conditions.
Specific footstraps for foiling
The board features the latest generation Drake Ultralight footstraps, developed for foiling where foot pressure is lighter compared to traditional windsurfing. The elongated slots allow for wider adjustment of the rear strap, useful for optimizing trim between downwind and upwind courses.
Reinforced foil box
The foil box is oversized and designed to distribute loads over a larger area than a standard fin box. The construction with high-density PVC and carbon walls contributes to offering solidity, precision, and compatibility with different foil bases.
Sizes
iQFOiL 95
- Length: 220 cm
- Width: 95 cm
- Volume: 196 L
The 95 cm width was also defined to facilitate transport, making the board more practical to carry as travel luggage. Compared to the iQFOiL 100, the design includes deeper cutaways to reduce the stern surface area and promote an even quicker foil lift-off.
Construction
Carbon Reflex Sandwich
The iQFOiL 95 is available in Carbon Reflex Sandwich construction, a technology designed to offer a mix of lightness, structural rigidity, and immediate response underfoot. This construction is geared towards high-performance use, where responsiveness and precision are fundamental elements.
Structure designed for racing
The combination of shape, construction, and reinforced box makes the board suitable for continuous competitive use. The result is an advanced, stable platform ready to withstand the high stresses typical of modern windfoil racing.
