2. SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS

DUOTONE STRONGLY RECOMMENDS::

If you are not yet able to foil wing foiling or if you feel insecure, you must attend a licensed school

to learn the basics of this fantastic sport. Get familiar with the safety precautions, which are

indispensable for safe foil wing foiling.

Foil wing foiling creates a heavy strain on your body. You should only go foil wing foiling if you are

in good physical condition and suffer from no medical conditions that may prevent you from wing

foiling. Always act carefully to not endanger yourself or anyone else. Do not endanger the safety

of uninvolved third parties! Be aware of the risks you take and limit them to a minimum level!

Before going on the water make sure you are familiar with your DUOTONE equipment. For your

own safety, read the following instructions as well as product descriptions very carefully.

2.1. FOIL WING SAFETY

- Only use on unobstructed stretches of water.

- Only fly the Foil Wing if you are a good swimmer and you are wearing a life jacket.

- Only use with the corresponding boom and leash.

- Use a leash equipped with a quick-release system so that you can completely detach yourself from

the Foil Wing in an emergency.

- Avoid power lines, telephone lines, airports, roads, buildings and trees.

- If you are using a board with a board leash, you must wear a helmet! Be aware of the general risks

associated with water sports, such as stones and rocks, waves, sunburn, hypothermia, jellyfish, etc.

2.2. DANGERS FROM THE FOIL WING

WHEN FOIL WING FOILING YOU MIGHT FACE THE EXTREME FORCES OF THE ELEMENTS.

In rare cases the Foil Wing or its boom 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 Foil Wing in gusty conditions.

- Use a leash that allows you to keep the Foil Wing under control.

- When not in use, inflated wing must be secured with sand or heavy objects. A wing filled with air can

fly away at any time, injuring people and in extreme cases even kill them.
