The IQ Foil Class is the new Olympic windsurf class that is preparing for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. The new class is set to take off and out the water using foiling to make it more interesting, faster and a greater wind range. Foiling gives the sport a whole other dimension of depth, know how and technicality.

The IQ Foil class has 4 different classes within itself. These are Men’s, Women’s, Youth and Junior, these all vary their sail size, foil, and board size to suit the riders.
