foil easier for you. 

• Unscrew the back wing and remove the wedges from the back of the

 

mast fuselage connection. 

• Remove the M6 screw from the front wing assembly and bump the front

 

wing forward by hand, or using a soft rubber mallet, until it slides off the 

fuselage. 

• Now unscrew the mating screw set and slide the fuselage forward out

 

of the mast. Never slide it back, it will get stuck because the fuselage is 
tapered. 

Care and Maintenance: 

• The foil is manufactured from reinforced composites, epoxies, carbon

 

fibres and stainless steel. Although these are reasonably durable 
materials, care and maintenance are required to maintain your foil's 

performance and appearance. 
 

DO NOT LEAVE THE FOIL IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, A HOT CAR, OR 

ANYWHERE ELSE WHERE IT MAY BE EXPOSED TO HEAT OR 
SUNLIGHT. DOING SO COULD CAUSE DAMAGE

 

• Avoid placing the foil on hard surfaces that are sharp or abrasive, as this

 

may damage the finish. 
When not in use, cover the foil and place it in a shaded area. 

 

Rinse the hydrofoil with fresh water after every use. 

 

• Once a week, remove the front wing and lightly grease the screws and

 

bolts before reinserting them. 

• Ensure that sand, salt and other materials do not accumulat

e or block 

the holes for the screws. Damage will occur to the threaded areas if you 
screw them back in with sand or other debris.
