The beginning of a new era

 

The Israeli team just held their fest ever iQFOiL event and it will be one to remember. For the first time in the world, we saw a field of iQFOiL racers on the start line in what looked like ideal conditions.

The event took place at the Sdot Yam sailing club to launch the Israeli campaign for the 2024 Paris Olympics. 

The riders were thrilled using their new gear. The first day was tough with 20 knots of wind with everyone riding on the foil. The second day brought light winds, but everyone enjoyed the conditions completing a total of 8 races in two days.
