⓫ - Your Wing is an ultra-versatile vessel that can be exploited with land-based equipment such as skateboards,
rollerblades, mountain-boarding, etc ... But this is not its main use. It is not intended to be dragged across
a hard or abrasive surface. GONG SUP 1 cannot be held responsible for wear and tear related to land use.
SAFETY AND COMMON WATER SENSE
❶ - You must check the wind range of your wing and adapt it to your actual and real abilities. Never underestimate
the pulling force of your Wing. Even a beginner’s wing can develop a significant and non controllable pulling
force by the user.
❷ - When practicing, be aware of weather forecasts. Avoid strong winds and do not sail if there are heavy
gusts. Do not use your Wing with offshore winds unless you have a security back-up plan on the water.
The perfect conditions to practice are a crosswind against the shore and a steady 15-25 knots force.
❸ - For the first sessions, and when you do not yet read well wind ranges and forecasts: be alert on high wind
range and do not sail if you do not have the adapted Wing. You take risks for you but also for your gear.
❹ - Use your Wing in a safe environment. Take the necessary time to learn how to handle the equipment under
optimum safety conditions.
❺ - Do not overestimate your abilities. Make sure you are in a good physical condition and do not have medical
contraindications. Misuse can cause serious injury or death to the practitioner or others.
❻ - Do not use your Wing in a shorebreak or waves that are too powerful.
❼ - When sailing, constantly check the water in front of you to avoid any collision or non-respect for the rules
of priority at sea. Keep in mind that you are potentially dangerous for yourself and for others.
❽ - Be extremely careful if you sail with your Wing and a board equipped with a foil. GONG SUP 1 declines
any responsibility in the event of damages caused by the improper use of the wing or by imprudence.
❾ - GONG strongly advises you to subscribe to an insurance covering the practice of Wing foil.
❿ - Equip yourself with protections: helmet, leash, impact vest… Too much is better than not enough!
⓫ - The use of the Wing outside the marine environment is your responsibility (skate, ski, snow…)
⓬ - The Wing is not a parachute or a hang glider!
⓭ - When using your wing, always have common sense, respect nature, and try to help others with caution
when they are in trouble.
⓮ - All our wings are equipped with an identification label to fill in your details in accordance with the legislation
in force.
This list of recommendations is not exhaustive and does not replace knowledge and a serious study of the
rules of safety and navigation at sea. The foil in particular is a dangerous sport which cannot be improvised.
