IQFoil 85 S2A Windfoil Board

The Surface-To-Air inherits the shape and construction from our iQFOiL 85 and adds a Deep Tuttle Box in center. It comes with two fins: Drake Shallow 32 for the tail and Drake Shallow 41 for the center. With this setup, it becomes the perfect beginner board. Its wide outline provides a stable stance, allowing our juniors to feel safe and sound while learning the first steps.

You can officially use the Surface-To-Air in any iQFOiL Youth & Junior competition.

Its wide outline provides a stable stance, allowing our juniors to feel safe and sound while learning the the first steps. At a length of only 215cm it’s quickly reacts to the students movements. The result: An ultrafast learning curve as students will quickly understand what effect their actions have. Thanks to the middle fin juniors can steer the boards, even with the smallest sails.

Once our kids are ready to make the next step, we will just remove the center fin and move it to the back. With the Drake Shallow 41 in the back it becomes a forgiving, early planing board for the first planing experiences.

The transition from surface to air is the next step to become a future competitor. The foil for the Junior division comes with an aluminium mast and an 800 front wing. With extra-large cutaways on the board, even light riders can easily activate the foil for a smooth transition into the first flights on the foil. The Deep Tuttle box in the tail is reinforced and ready to foil.

This has never existed before. The Surface To Air lets you teach the very first steps to your children and then take it out for a thrilling blast on the foil.

Extra-large cutaways, more than double the size of the regular Formula’s, reduces the wetted area and improves take-off onto the foil.

Deck concave and recessed mast track for a more vertical sailing position while closing the gap between the sail and the deck of the board.

The sharp rails in the tail allows the boards to get planing and reach take off speed more easily. Additionally, the board will bounce off the water if you clip the water surface instead of sticking and throwing you into a catapult.

The beveled nose improves aerodynamics and ultimately provides more control at high speeds.

The iQFOiL range comes with a the latest generation of Drake Ultralight straps. These straps are ideal for foiling when foot pressure is lighter than regular windsurfing. The Ultralight’s elongated screw slots also allow the rider to set their back strap extra-wide using hole spacings further apart. This allows the rider’s foot to shift forward for downwind and backwards for upwind, giving perfect trim-adjustment on the fly.

The Foil Box is larger and stronger than a normal fin box to distribute loads over a larger area. It is built using solid sheets of 20 mm thick high-density PVC with 8 mm thick carbon fibre walls, and has a flat, parallel bottom which allows the box to take both types of foil bases: tapered ‘Tuttle-style’ base and rectangular foil bases. It is recommended for the front of the foil’s base to reach the bottom of the box. This ensures that the vertical lifting load from the foil will be carried by both the front wall of the box and the bottom wall of the box.
