Foiling comes with a unique set of risks and dangers above those inherent to the sport of
kiteboarding. In order to keep yourselves and others safe in the water, we recommend you use
extra caution and implement these basic safety precautions:
•
North kiteboarding strongly recommends kite foil lessons for first-time hydrofoil users.
Kite foiling is a dangerous activity and should be treated with caution.
•
Check foil screws and components before each use to ensure all connections are tight and
in proper working order.
•
Do not foil in shallow water, and use extreme caution when foiling near other people and objects.
•
We recommend wearing a helmet with ear protection at all times and a wetsuit (especially
when learning), to help protect yourself from impacts with your board and foil.
•
Be aware that your foil will drift on its own faster and further than a regular board.
•
Use care when transporting your foil, to ensure the safety of yourself and others, and to
protect the longevity of your equipment.
•
Use extreme caution when placing your foil and foil board on the beach, as there can be a
danger to other kiters, general beach users and your own equipment.
•
We recommend using a North Kiteboarding wing, stabilizer and mast cover for your Foil-
set, to provide maximum protection and longevity of the products.
