Using the foil.

— 06

Handling on land :

— 01 

Because of its geometry and weight, the foil's behavior drastically differs on land 

and on the sea.

Don’t leave the foil assembled with the board placed upside down or right side up. It might tip over or 

get damaged. Always lay the assembled foil on its edge as follows :

Walk into the water with your board under your arm (on its side).

Leaving & returning to shore :

Advance until you reach a depth greater than the height of the foil in order to eliminate any risk of 

impact. Because the board and the foil sink when you, the rider, climb on the board, it is important to 

maintain a margin of safety. In shallow waters, we recommend that you move away by swimming, kee-

ping the board and the foil on the edge until reaching an area where the water depth is sufficient and 

safe. When you are towed, we recommend keeping the board and the foil on its edge until reaching 

an area where the water is sufficiently deep.

When returning to shore, get off the board with the same distance from the shore as you did when 

you got on. Then walk or swim or get towed back to shore. Remember to keep the board and the foil 

under your arm, on its side, like you did when starting.
