IQFoil

iQFOiL is a windsurfing class selected by World Sailing to replace the RS:X for the 2024 Summer Olympics.^[2] The discipline has similarities to Formula Windsurfing, however a notable difference is that sailors only use one sail. The sail size was originally 9 m² for the men and 8 m² for the women.^[3] The rider has a choice between using a hydrofoil or a conventional 68 cm fin.^[4]
