WITH ITS ADDED DIMENSIONS AND
WEIGHT, THE FOIL SIGNIFICANTLY
CHANGES THE BEHAVIOR OF THE
BOARD BOTH ON SHORE AND
IN THE WATER.
Handling on shore
When left on the ground the foil should always
be laid on its side otherwise it might tip over.
Never leave the foil (assembled with the board)
standing up or upside down. It can easily fall on
its side and get damaged.
Handling In the water
When heading for the water, the foil and
board should always be carried on its side
with the board held under your arm or by
the handle with your other hand holding di-
rectly the foil if necessary.
• Walk in the water while keeping your board
and foil on the side.
• Go deeper into the water until reaching a wa-
ter patch deep enough for the size of the foil.
Warning: a safety margin is required as the
board and foil will sink to some degree when
the rider gets onto the board.
• When heading back to the shore, it is ne-
cessary to get down from the board at the
same distance from the shore that had been
required to start safely. During these phases,
the board and foil should remain on their side.

GUARANTEE
F-ONE products are guaranteed according to
the laws in force against any major defect.
This warranty is subject to the following limiting
clauses:
The warranty is valid only if the product is used under
normal conditions of use and excludes the use for
rental. F-ONE reserves the right to determine whether
or not the guarantee is covered by a visual inspection
(photo or visual inspection of the equipment) clearly
showing the defect(s).
If necessary, this information may be sent to the F-ONE
distributor in your country. The product may be re-
turned only after the issue of a customer service return
number by your F-ONE distributor. The original invoice
must be attached to any warranty claim. The name of
the store and the date of purchase must be clearly le-
gible. If the product is declared defective by F-ONE, the
warranty covers the repair or replacement of the de-
fective product only. F-ONE is not responsible for any
additional cost, loss or damage resulting from misuse
of this product.
This warranty does not cover damage caused by
• Misuse (including any damage caused by an impact of any part of the hydrofoil with the sea bed, reef, shoal,
or any other element),
• Abuse, neglect or normal wear and tear,
• Any alteration of the original equipment,
• Damage due to excessive sun exposure or to winds on the beach,
• Damage caused by improper handling and storage,
• Damage caused by use in shore break,
• Damage caused by anything other than defects in material and workmanship.
Following every use, make sure you always
• Take appart the front wing, fuselage
and other parts from the mast.
• Clean and rinse all the parts of the foil
before storing them.
• Protect the parts by storing them in their
original packaging or using another appropriate
protection.
Make sure the surface of the blades remain smoo-
th and clean. The foil works using a dynamic equi-
librium and the flow around the wings can be very
sensible to local roughness. Sudden stalling can
happen if the surface condition of the several parts is
compromised. Stalling the foil can unsettle the rider
and result in abrupt falls.
If local bumps or troughs appear following an impact,
fill with epoxy resin or primer and sand until the local
surface is smooth and clean again. It is strongly re-
commended to let a professional handle these kinds
of repairs.
