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 is 9m² for the men and 8m² for the women.[3] The rider has a choice between using a hydrofoil or a conventional 68 cm fin.[4]
