Kiteboarding, wind-winging and foiling involve unavoidable risks so it is important that you familiarise
yourself with these risks and take appropriate measures to minimise risks as much as possible. Please
familiarise yourself with safety precautions and systems related to your equipment.
Kiteboarding, wind-winging and foiling are high-intensity action sports. Do not participate in these
sports if you are physically unfit or suffer from any medical conditions that may put you at further risk.
