Our aim is to make racing as fair as possible for all age groups, that's why we race with one design equipment in the iQFOiL Class. This means that all equipment is produced in the exact same way and only this equipment is allowed to be used during our events. this way it is the most skilled athlete that wins the event, not the one who spends the most money on the best gear.
