HYDROFOIL ASSEMBLING INSTRUCTION

In order to assemble your new H-Flight Hydrofoil correctly pls follow this instructions:

1) Assemble the 6 x holes Aluminium Base Plate onto the Aluminium mast, inserting 3x 

30mm screws.

2) Insert 4 x 25 mm screws with brass ‘ T’- nut inside the 2 x US boxes of your kitefoil 

board, and position the mast assembled with the 6 x holes Aluminium Base Plate onto 

the 2 US boxes of the board. Position the plate on the desired setting and tighten the 4 x 

screws onto the 4 x ‘ T’- nut inside the US boxes.

3) Take the Fuselage, and assemble the Rear Wing with the 2 x 20 mm screws.

4) Now assemble the fuselage with the Rear Wing and on to the open end of the Aluminium 

mast (foot) and tighten the 3 x 50 mm screws.

5) Once the fuselage is assembled onto the mast, take the Front Wing and assemble it onto 

the Fuselage with the 2 x 25 mm screws.

Where to place the mast base:

RRD uses a 4 hold plate on the mast, because that is the safest system. With 4 solid 

screws you can also move the foil back and forward, depending on your skill level. 

RRD suggests beginners to place the mast base at the back in the position number 2 or 

3 (see scale on our board). Try for yourself, but most riders prefer position number 3, but 

you can also play with where to position your footstraps. key is to push the nose down and 

avoid excessive lift when you foil.

Once you get started to get more in to manoeuvres, jibing, tacks etc, you can move the foil 

forward, so the foil becomes a bit more manoeuvrable and a bit faster. It’s just a subtle 

difference; but we wanted to have that as well on our board, so the RRD kite foil will take 

you the fastest to the next level.

You are now ready to go foiling!
