General Safety Principles
• Foiling sports are physically demanding and require good physical condition.• Users must be able to swim competently.
• Professional instruction is strongly recommended before first use.
• Users must assess their abilities and remain within their personal limits.
• Alcohol, drugs, or any substance impairing judgment must never be used.
• Never practice alone; ensure assistance can be reached if necessary.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
• Always wear an approved personal flotation device (PFD).• Always wear a helmet designed for water sports.
• Additional protective equipment (impact vest, wetsuit, footwear) is strongly recommended depending on conditions.
• Dress appropriately for water and weather conditions to prevent hypothermia.
Environmental Awareness
• Assess weather, wind, tide, current, and water conditions before entering.• Avoid storms, lightning, offshore winds, and reduced visibility.
• Maintain safe distances from swimmers, vessels, obstacles, and fixed structures.
• Avoid overcrowded areas and respect navigation rules.
• Only use authorized and permitted areas where applicable.
Product Use and Handling
• Inspect all equipment before each use.• Do not use damaged, worn, modified, or improperly assembled components.
• Use only manufacturer-approved parts, batteries, chargers, and accessories.
• Maintain control of the board and foil at all times.
• Foiling in shallow water significantly increases the risk of severe injury.
• Progress gradually and avoid advanced maneuvers beyond your skill level.
Leash Warning
The leash is a board retention device only. It is not a life-saving or rescue device.• Never wrap, coil, or hold the leash around your hand, wrist, fingers, or limbs.
• Always use a leash appropriate to the discipline and conditions.
• Always practice the use of any quick-release system before entering the water.
Leash use in strong currents, rivers, or whitewater environments presents a serious entanglement risk. In such conditions, a leash must only be used when combined with an approved personal flotation device (PFD) equipped with a functional quick-release system and after receiving appropriate professional river-safety training.
eFoil and Foil-Assist Specific Warnings
Electric propulsion systems (eFoil and foil-assist) introduce additional hazards related to speed, propulsion force, electrical components, and batteries.• Always receive specific training before using an eFoil or foil-assist system.
• Start in low-speed or assist modes and progress gradually.
• Never exceed speeds appropriate to your skill level or surrounding conditions.
• Maintain increased safety distances from other water users, vessels, and obstacles.
• Always ensure the propulsion system is switched off before entering or exiting the water.
• Never place hands, feet, or body parts near the propulsion system while powered.
• Regularly inspect electrical components, wiring, batteries, and connectors.
• Use only manufacturer-approved batteries, chargers, and control systems.
• Do not use electric foiling systems in thunderstorms or when lightning is present.
• Follow all local regulations applicable to electrically assisted or motorized watercraft.
