It’s highly recommended to use the following accessories for your security.

HELMET

It’s strongly recommended to wear a helmet to protect you from your board and foil in case of a 

crash or any other unexpected situations.

WETSUIT 

Choose a wetsuit length and thickness depending on the water temperature. Use a full wetsuit 

when the water is colder than 19

0

c, a shorty when water temperatures more  than 19

0

c. 

LIFE JACKET / IMPACT VEST 

A life jacket / impact vest can help absorb possible impacts. It will also help you float, if you have 

to swim back to the shore.

WING LEASH

Attach the wrist leash for the Wing onto the leash attachment point in order not to lose your 

wing. Attach the leash tight enough so it does not slip.

BOARD LEASH

Attach the  board leash to the ankle. When wearing a board leash, a helmet is strongly 

recommended.

THE BOARD

Choose a board with enough volume to float you comfortably.

HARNESS LINE (OPTIONAL)

You can attach a harness line to the attachment points located on the strut. This allows you to 

ride for longer periods of time.

1. RESPECT THE PRIORITY ON THE WATER

When two riders come from opposite directions, the rider on Starboard tack* has priority over 

the rider on port tack*. The rider on Starboard tack* should maintain the direction and the one 

port tack* point  downwind to avoid collision. Before any jumps or direction changes, make sure 

there is enough room and that you are not going to cross anyone’s path.

2. RESPECT ALL PEOPLE ON LAND

Make it a priority to be responsible and keep away from all people on land during rigging, 

launching and resting.

*  Starboard tack, right hand close to the front of the wing. Port tack, left hand close the front of the wing.
