  • Model: 2019
  • Discipline: Freeride / Wave

FREERIDE / WAVE

Be impressed by the easiest, but most agile IQ you've ever had in your hands!


Being a great performer in the low-end already, designers focused on giving the IQ 2019 that extra control in the high-end, every kitesurfer admires. This allows everybody to make use of the very good drift ability and quick turning speed also in gusty conditions, in order to catch some turns, or push your limits on the straight line. As result of the more bent profile of the leading-edge, the relaunch is as easy as it gets, which offers you an escape route even in the trickiest situations.

With its direct bar feeling and great responsiveness, the IQ gets you into the critical section on the wave and out of critical situations.

The IQ’s outline was slightly redesigned with a change of the alignment of the profile and the tip position. The profile’s volume was slightly reduced, while the maximum draft was changed at the IQ 2019.


KEY FEATURES

  • Precise bar feedback
  • Perfect drift and stability
  • Incredibly easy relaunch
  • Three strut construction for optimized weight and maneuverability

IQ - Computer Sewing

COMPUTER SEWING

All patches reinforcements and connection points are computer sewed.


IQ - Dacron

DACRON

The high-density polyester Dacron, impregnated (waterproof) and polyurethane coated creates excellent dimension stability and lowa water absorbtion.


IQ - Kite-Body Seams

KITE-BODY SEAMS

Triple zick-zack sewed and glued flat seams result in less turbulences on the wing surface.


IQ - Kook Proof Connections

KOOK PROOF CONNECTIONS

IQ - Leading Edge Seam

LEADING EDGE SEAM

Light glued Dacron cloth reinforces from the inside. Glued and double stitched with a high-density polyester thread and a more flexible nylon thread.


IQ - Protection

PROTECTION

Heavy duty and super light Kevlar patches in the tip range prevent abrasion at the typical spots. Dacron panels provide force distribution of the connection points.


IQ - Reinforcements

REINFORCEMENTS

High-density polyester Dacron, Kevlar though™ and heavy duty polyester fabrics.


IQ - Segmented And Split Struts

SEGMENTED AND SPLIT STRUTS

Exact adjustment and definition of the profile as result of the segmented struts in the front part. Split back part of the strut for a stiffer back section and a perfect radius control towards the TE.


IQ - Strut Connection

STRUT CONNECTION

Stiffest kite frame due to the full circle connection. Optimized ultra stiff connection between the LE and the struts allowing perfect control of the sail tension at the front part of the profile.


IQ - Spinnaker

SPINNAKER

Special PU-coated, extra light (48g/m2) double rip-stop polyester fabric for a perfect balance of tear strength and dimension stability.


IQ - TE Construction

TE CONSTRUCTION

The reinforcement of the TE with a Kevlar TM line makes the dimension of the TE stay the same forever. Kevlar does not shrink or stretch. Stiff lines create a crisp bar feeling due to lack of stretch in the TE. The special shape of the double spinnaker panel brakes down high frequencies and prevents fluttering even after many hours of use.


IQ - Speed Pump

SPEED PUMP

Easy and fast inflation and teflation due to the speed pump with double cross section connectors.
