strongly recommends that you take a course for each of the Foil practices, in a school specializing in
Foil learning, in order to be responsible and careful before using this product alone.
Make sure you have insurance covering the practice of Foil.
The manufacturers and suppliers of this product are not responsible for property damage or personal injury
due to either simple or improper use, or excessive, competitive, or irresponsible use of the product by the user.
RESPECT THE RULES OF PRIORITY AND SAFETY.
Find out about the local legislation in force concerning the practice of Foil sports on the spot you are targeting.
When you practice, do not forget to keep a safe distance from all obstacles, other people and boats. Stay
away from swimmers and other people, including your friends, even when you consider that you have reached
a sufficient level to do so.
USE THIS PRODUCT ONLY IF YOU ARE IN GOOD PHYSICAL CONDITION AND CAN SWIM PROFICIANTLY.
Don’t overestimate your strength: never go further than you can swim in the present and forecasted weather
conditions. Swimming in the sea in a distress situation is much more difficult than swimming in a pool. Minors
must not practice without the agreement and supervision of their legal guardian.
KEEP UP TO DATE WITH THE WEATHER FORECAST.
It is up to you to make the decision to go out on the water or not, depending on the weather conditions
observed and announced. Never Foil in stormy weather, in threatening or changing conditions.
OBSERVE THE CURRENTS.
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE HEIGHT OF YOUR MAST: unlike surfing, SUP or Kitesurfing, it is imperative to start
navigating on a body of water deep enough so that the Foil does not touch the bottom or hit a rocky area.
PROTECT YOURSELF!
You must wear a helmet, and ideally thick booties and a wetsuit to practice this sport.
DO NOT SINK YOUR FEET TOO DEEP INTO YOUR STRAPS.
The practice of Foil sports with footstraps can, in case of a fall, be dangerous for your ankles and even your
knees. Indeed, in case of imbalance or a fall, it is important to be able to get your feet out of the footstraps
quickly. The lever arm of the Foil and its force are directly reflected on your ankles.

TROUBLE.
REGULARLY CHECK AND PROPERLY MAINTAIN YOUR EQUIPMENT.
Make sure that the different parts of the Foil are tightly clamped to each other and to the Board before use.
Also, check that your Foil and Board are not punctured, scratched or fissured, as this will affect its durability
and your safety. We remind you that a Foil that is detached from its Board sinks immediately.
