The windsurfing is the first of the Olympic sailing events to start and takes place from 28 July \u2013 2 August 2024.
\nThe IQFoil is a windsurfing class selected by World Sailing to replace the previous olympic windsurfer, the RS:X, for the 2024 Summer Olympics. Sailors competing in the IQFoil fleet may only use a single sail \u2013 a notable difference from many windsurfing events, where multiple sails sizes may be used. The sail size for the men\u2019s class is 9m2.
\nThe women\u2019s Olympic windsurfer features a slightly smaller sail than the men\u2019s class at 8m2. For both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s classes, the rider has a choice between using a hydrofoil or a conventional 68 cm fin, with the former being used in all but the lightest of conditions.
