The mast and fuselage of your
ALLVATOR
Surfoil are aluminum. Unlike a full carbon Foil, the foil
ALLVATOR
will be subjected to a normal phenomenon called galvanic corrosion. Phenomenon all the more important in a
salty environment.
The Surfoil
ALLVATOR
therefore requires a rigorous maintenance.
It is imperative to completely dismantle and scrupulously rinse its
ALLVATOR
Surfoil after each use and store
it dry in its cover between each session.
Failure to comply with this recommendation will result in premature and irreparable wear of the Foil.
Seawater will stagnate in the mast and accelerate the process of internal corrosion.
Similarly, for the fuselage. If corrosion does not appear externally, aluminum can corrode from the inside and
eventually lead to a clean break.
GONG SUP 1
will not be responsible in case of accident due to poor
maintenance of the equipment.
To preserve your Foil
ALLVATOR
,
GONG SUP 1
recommends that you regularly apply a galvanic anti-
corrosion lubricant in the areas of interlocking and screw inserts.
As soon as you notice a deterioration of your equipment, consult our online spare parts catalog on
WWW.GONG-GALAXY.COM
, and replace any worn out parts.
The company

works in direct sales to offer you its products at the best price on the market, so
you can navigate with healthy equipment and upgrade your equipment without breaking the bank. We are keen
to make you sail with efficient and safe equipment. The replacement of low-cost spare parts is part of this logic.
Make sure that sand can never get into inserts or boxes before screwing. If sand has penetrated: rinse with
plenty of water. Otherwise it could cause irreversible damage to the threads.
Remember to check the tightness of all the elements of the Foil before each use. Check the condition of the
screws and renew your screw kit at the first signs of wear.
Note that the different parts of your
ALLVATOR
Surfoil are compatible with the
ALLVATOR
Kitefoil parts.
However,
GONG SUP 1
does not recommend using the ALLVATOR Kitefoil Wings on your
ALLVATOR
Surfoil.
The forces and stresses that are exerted on the foil in both sports are very different and do not require the same
areas of reinforcement.
SPECIFIC PRECAUTIONS FOR THE SURFOIL ALLVATOR
GENERAL RULES CONCERNING THE PRACTICE OF
SURFOIL
The practice of the Foil carries risks of major accidents. A bad mastery of the Foil can cause cuts, serious
wounds, even death, for you or others.
THE FOIL MUST BE PRACTICED TAKING ALL THE USUAL PRECAUTIONS IN SURFING, PLUS THOSE
RELATED TO FOIL.
Remember that the Foil is long, sharp, and can reach high speeds. To be struck by a Foil, or to strike a third
party can have dramatic consequences.
GONG Allvator SURF
Foils are made for the practice of Surfoil only.
They are not toys.
GONG
strongly recommends that you take surf lessons at a certified Foil School. Be responsible and careful
before using this product alone.
