2. SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
DUOTONE STRONGLY RECOMMENDS::
If you are not yet able to hydrofoil 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 indis-
pensable for safe hydrofoiling .
Hydrofoiling creates a heavy strain on your body. You should only go hydrofoiling if you are in
good physical condition and suffer from no medical conditions that may prevent you from hydro-
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. HYDROFOIL SAFETY
- Only use on unobstructed stretches of water.
- Only ride the hydrofoil if you are a good swimmer and you are wearing a life jacket.
- 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 HYDROFOIL
WHEN HYDROFOILING YOU MIGHT FACE THE EXTREME FORCES OF THE ELEMENTS.
In rare cases the Hydrofoil 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 Hydrofoil in gusty conditions or waves.
- Risk of injury through uncontrolled falls caused by gusts, waves or flotsam.
- If the hydrofoil is used incorrectly, there is a risk of injury to the user and bystanders.
- Once the hydrofoil has been assembled, it must be kept under the covers when not in use to avoid
possible injury to other people.
2.3. DANGERS FROM THE HYDROFOIL
The use of a hydrofoil board is a high-risk activity and can be extremely dangerous if implemen-
ted incorrectly. This can result in serious injury or even death for the user or other individuals
in the vicinity. All users of the DUOTONE Hydrofoil must be aware of the associated risks. These
include loss of control, collision with the board, collision with the Hydrofoil and even drowning.
Some of the foil components are extremely sharp and thus pose a potential risk. To protect
the rider and others against injury, the foil must be handled with special care from the point at
which it is constructed until it is used. We recommend using a certified helmet at all times and
an appropriate collision-proof or protective vest as well as a wetsuit and neoprene shoes. Do not
exceed your capabilities and maintain control over the Hydrofoil at all times. Do not push beyond
your limits when using the Foil Board with the Hydrofoil, and ride at a speed that is commensu-
rate with your ability level. Be aware of your surroundings, and familiarise yourself with them.
Do not endanger others by coming too close to swimmers, boats, jetties and other objects that
could be damaged by you or the foil. Do not use the foil in shallow waters. This could also result
in injury to you and damage to your foil. You should also be aware that individual components on
this product are exposed to natural forces and may be subject to wear.

2.4. DANGERS TO UNINVOLVED THIRD PARTIES
- It is your responsibility to ensure that bystanders and other sportspeople are not put at risk or inju-
red due to your actions or equipment.
- Do not use foils in any location where bystanders could be injured.
2.5. WEATHER RELATED DANGERS
- Avoid offshore wind.
- Be careful with onshore wind.
- Get information on tidal and sea current conditions at your spot!
- Get information from both the weather report and the locals on prevailing weather conditions.
- Never use the Hydrofoil with wind forces so strong that you are unable to maintain precise control.
- Do not use the Hydrofoil when wind conditions are likely to change dramatically.
- Never use this Hydrofoil when thunderstorms are nearby or when such storms have a good chance
of developing (check the weather report!).
- Leave the water immediately when a storm is approaching. You are in a life threatening situation
since you may be struck by lightning!

HYDROFOIL OVERVIEW ASSEMBLING & DISMANTLING THE HYDROFOIL
3.2. ASSEMBLING THE HYDROFOIL
1. Use the screws provided to screw the glider to the mast.
2. Make sure no sand or other dirt is in the inserts.
3. Hold the glider with the fuselage against the connection area on the mast and slide the three M6x40mm
screws through the fuselage. Finally, screw these into the mast.
4. Insert the fourth M6x25mm screw through the fuselage, and screw this firmly into the mast.
5. Insert the upper end of the mast into the tuttle box on the hydrofoil board.
6. We recommend using two screws to attach your foil to the board in the following manner.
a. Use at least the inserts 1 & 5 to attach the foil to your board. Make sure the screws have been rotated at
least 6 times when screwing them tightly into the insert. Check that the screws are not too long to avoid
damage to the mast.
b. Use one of the inserts 2-4 to fit the front screw for the rear foot loop to your foil. Make sure the screw
is long enough to go through both the tab on the foot strap and the board, so it can be screwed into the
hydrofoil.
7. Remove the covers from the glider and mast before using the hydrofoil on the water.

- At the beach, expose the foil as little as possible to intense sunlight.
- Wash your foil in fresh water after use, particularly following exposure to sea water, to reduce the
risk of corrosion.
