The following is strictly prohibited:
It is strictly prohibited to tow a person with the TAKUMA E-FOIL in any
way whatsoever. Doing so would result in serious and even fatal

The TAKUMA E-FOIL is subject to local laws and regulations in terms of

regulations when using this product.
Never navigate alone.
Give priority to the right (starboard) at sea, on lakes and rivers.
At sea, when leaving the coast, move at a slow speed (less than 5 knots or 9
km/h), without flying, until you leave the coastal strip of 300 metres.
In ports, comply with the maximum speed (5 knots except for other local
regulations). Do not fly.
In rivers and lakes, obtain information on the authorized navigation zones
and speeds.
Observe the body of water where you will be moving about before getting
into the water.
Make sure there is no dominant wind that will push you out to sea.
Be able to keep track of where you are at any time in your navigation zone.
