IQ HD - NEW SCHOOL WAVE

Unmatched neutrality, great handling and versatility make the IQ-HD the sail of choice for wave riders, who aim for radical turns and cutbacks in a wide range of conditions.

A refined shape with a little flatter profile of the bigger sizes moves draft further back, which leads to less front hand pull and a lighter feeling of the board.

By lowering the clew position slightly, we achieved even better control in strong winds, especially on the smaller sizes with lighter and less physical handling.

Two continuous luff panels ensure strong and extremely efficient load distribution, which leads to smoothly generating power and drive.

All sizes feature a new one-piece mast sleeve that is lighter and leads to optimized stretch.

These traits get you on waves easily in a big range of conditions and that’s where the IQ-HD unfolds its inimitably light feeling and neutrality.

KEY FEATURES - 

> One piece mast sleeve - The one-piece mast sleeve makes the IQ-HD lighter and improves stretch characteristics.

> Carbon Radial Load Tapes - Carbon tapes spread from the clew across the center of the sail for a stable profile

> Extra light and durable 2-Ply - 1.75 mil 2-Ply in the center and 2.5 mil at the leech provide perfect combination of lightness and durability.

> 4 battens on all sizes - Lightness paired with profile stability in all sizes

> Continuous luff panels - Two continuous luff panels ensure a strong and efficient load distribution.

> Compact window design - A more compact sail window provides great visibility, while eliminating unnecessary seams and interferences with other materials.

> Integrated batten technology - All battens above the boom are integrated into the overlapping panels for maximized symmetry and stability.

> HD sail window - X-Ply in the sail window make the sail extremely resistant in hardcore conditions.
