DANGERS FROM THE HYDROFOIL
WHEN HYDROFOILING YOU MIGHT FACE THE EXTREME FORCES OF THE ELEMENTS.
In rare cases the Hydrofoil can cause dangerous situations:
- You can hurt yourself through uncontrolled water take-offs caused by gusty conditions, and
the danger of collision with obstacles.
- Risk of injury due to an inability to control the Hydrofoil in gusty conditions or waves.
- Risk of injury through uncontrolled falls caused by gusts, waves or flotsam.
- If the hydrofoil is used incorrectly, there is a risk of injury to the user and bystanders.
- Once the hydrofoil has been assembled, it must be kept under the covers when not in use to avoid
possible injury to other people.

DANGERS FROM THE HYDROFOIL
The use of a hydrofoil board is a high-risk activity and can be extremely dangerous if implemen-
ted incorrectly. This can result in serious injury or even death for the user or other individuals
in the vicinity. All users of the DUOTONE Hydrofoil must be aware of the associated risks. These
include loss of control, collision with the board, collision with the Hydrofoil and even drowning.
Some of the foil components are extremely sharp and thus pose a potential risk. To protect
the rider and others against injury, the foil must be handled with special care from the point at
which it is constructed until it is used. We recommend using a certified helmet at all times and
an appropriate collision-proof or protective vest as well as a wetsuit and neoprene shoes. Do not
exceed your capabilities and maintain control over the Hydrofoil at all times. Do not push beyond
your limits when using the Foil Board with the Hydrofoil, and ride at a speed that is commensu-
rate with your ability level. Be aware of your surroundings, and familiarise yourself with them.
Do not endanger others by coming too close to swimmers, boats, jetties and other objects that
could be damaged by you or the foil. Do not use the foil in shallow waters. This could also result
in injury to you and damage to your foil. You should also be aware that individual components on
this product are exposed to natural forces and may be subject to wear.
