The 2015 IQ makes a great step forward with the new features. Everybody who tried it was enthusiastic and said that of the wave sails this was the one that improved the most from last year. It is light, reactive and powerful when you need it. That is what the new design features bring – the Posi Leech combined with the Compact Batten Positioning make the sail feel lighter, but at the same time increase the drive. The ideal conditions for the IQ are more light-wind oriented than the Manic, so if the spot you sail the most doesn’t boast radical overpowered conditions the IQ is the ideal choice for the progression of all the latest new-school moves.
