SAFETY
READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE USING YOUR RRD HYDROFOIL AND KEEP
IT STORED FOR FUTURE READING
RRD strongly recommends to follow hydrofoil wind / kite / surf / SUP/ WING lessons in a
specialized school before using a hydrofoil for the first time. The use of a hydrofoil involves
inherent risks and can cause severe injuries or, sometimes fatal, accidents if misused.
Please check under the tab <schools> on the following website www.robertoriccidesigns.com
to find your nearest school. When using a hydrofoil, you agree to take full responsibility for
your own safety and those of others. This includes informing subsequent users/owners of
your equipment of the risks and responsibilities involved. Before practicing, make sure that
you are properly covered by an insurance for any damage or injuries caused to third parties
while practicing watersports. Please refer to your national surf body or federation to get more
information on insurance and responsibilities.
Be aware that the design and construction of the hydrofoil involves sharp and stiff edges that
could easily cause severe abrasions and/or cuts. It is very highly recommended to familiarize
yourself with the dimensions, weight, behaviour of the hydrofoil both assembled and
unassambled to the board while carrying it to the water and/or keeping it on the beach. Never
leave the hydrofoil unattended on the beach. Any wind changes might cause the hydrofoil to
move, fly away and cause severe damages to you and/or the others around the hydrofoil.
SAFETY TIPS:
Constant care and caution remains the best way to avoid any problem but specialized equipment
contributes to your own safety as well. Please keep in mind that wind and weather can be
unpredictable and that no-one can be in full control of the hydrofoil at all times.

• Rule N°1: YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY
It is strongly recommended to practice in the company of other users who could eventually call
for assistance or help in case of emergency. You should never ride alone.
• Rule N°2: PERSONAL SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Helmet:
It is strongly recommended to wear a helmet to protect you in case of a fall or any other
unexpected situations.
Wetsuit :
Choose a full-length wetsuit (water T° <19°C[66°F]) or a shorty (water T°>19°C[66°F]) depending
on the water temperature. But be aware that you will use more energy when you are cold.
Impact vest :
The impact vest can be a protective piece of equipment if you take a hard crash and will become
a true asset if you ever have to swim back to the shore.
• Rule N°3: CHOOSE YOUR SPOT CAREFULLY
The choice of a good spot is an essential decision for safe learning. Don’t ride a hydrofoil in
crowded breaks. To choose your place of practice, it is important to select a spot suited to the
practice of hydrofoiling. Favor a spot without reefs or rocks and avoid crowded areas. Observe
local laws and regulations in the area you plan to use the equipment.
• Rule N°4: KNOW THE WEATHER FORECAST
Be up-to-date with the local weather and surf forecast, (apps, radio, web, harbor crew, local
schools). Check on the tides schedule and the areas for rip currents.
• Rule N°5: HELP OUT OTHERS AND SHOW RESPECT
Help out others:
Keep a constant eye on your surroundings, and pay attention to others. Do not hesitate to help
out or go after a struggling surfer. But make sure you don’t bring yourself in danger.
Respect bystanders :
Never lend your equipment to a non foil rider. The hydrofoil is dangerous when left unattended
on the beach. Inform any people or spectators close to the board and hydrofoil that there might
be an accident risk in case they collide with the board and /or the hydrofoil.

•Always familiarize yourself with all applicable federal, state and local laws, the
waterways, the area, and the proper use of the equipment.
•Always read your owner’s manual and understand your equipment before using it.
•Always inspect equipment before each use, including all components of your foil,
your board and the connections between components and the board mount. Never
use equipment with missing, damaged or defective parts.
•Use caution when transporting your foil, both for the safety of yourself and others
and for the longevity of your equipment.
•Always wear protective equipment appropriate for the environment and conditions in
which you are using your foil and your foil board.
•Always use a helmet.
•Always use a State/Country Marine department approved boating vest and protective shoes.
•Always ride in control, away from hazards, and at speed appropriate for your ability.
Do not foil in shallow water or near shore, pilings, docks, rafts, swimmers, other
watercraft or other obstacles.
•Falling and the injuries or death that may result, are inherent risks in the sport.
•Do not operate any watercraft (windsurf, kite, surf, or foil gear) under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
•The warnings and practices set forth above represent some common risks
encountered by users.
•This list does not purport to cover all instances of risk or danger. Please use common
sense and good judgment.
•TAKE YOUR TIME TO GET TO KNOW YOUR RRD HYDROFOIL IN YOUR OWN
SAFE SPACE

The front and rear wings of the hydrofoil work as lifting devices. The wings create
a lifting force from the flow of water that travels across them at speed. This is the
reason why they are built with a specific sectional profile:
The shape of the wings’ profile shall not be modified, filled and sanded. Doing so
would alter the balance and prevent the correct operation of the hydrofoil.
In order to guarantee the correct behavior and performances of the hydrofoil, the
rear edge (trailing edge) of the wings must remain very thin, thereby making this part
more fragile in case of impacts. During handling and use of the hydrofoil, the user
should be particularly cautious with these sharp areas in order to avoid any risk of
injury.

USING A SUP / SURF / HYDROFOIL
On shore Handling :
The RRD foilboard should always be laid on its side when left on the ground. Never
leave the hydrofoil (assembled with the board) standing up or upside down. It can
easily fall on its side and get damaged.
USING A KITE HYDROFOIL
On shore Handling :
The RRD kitefoil should always be laid on its side when left on the ground. Never leave the
kitefoil (assembled with the board) standing up or upside down. It can easily fall on its side and
get damaged. When heading for the water, the kitefoil should always be carried on its side with
the board under your arm. Hold the board just forward of where the foil mast is attached to the
board, like this:
Water handling:
Walk into the water while keeping your board and foil under your arm (board on its side). Go
deeper into the water until reaching a water patch deep enough for the length of the foil.
When heading for the water, the foilboard should always be carried very carefully.
Hold the board on its side or on your head like explained in the pictures below:

USING A WIND HYDROFOIL
On shore Handling :
The RRD WS foil should always be laid on its side when left on the ground. Never leave
the WS foil mounted onto the foilboard standing up or upside down without being
connected to the rig. It can easily fall on its side and get damaged and/or damage your
rig or hurt anyone around it. In case the wind blows below 15 knots you can leave it
upside down only if attached to your rig as per photo below:
When heading back to your car or coming from your car heading to the beach you
should always carry the foil and foilboard as shown below:
When heading to the water or off the water, hold your rig with one hand and the board
handle on the bottom with the other one. In case you launch on shallow waters, you
can drag the board and rig towards deep water as shown in the photo below:

USING A WING HYDROFOIL
On shore Handling :
The RRD WING foil should always be laid on its side when left on the ground. Never
leave the WING foil mounted onto the foilboard standing up or upside down. It can
easily fall on its side and get damaged and/or damage your wing or hurt anyone
around it. In case the wind blows below 15 knots you can leave it on its side and
connect your wing leash to the end of the fuselage.
Heading to the water/ coming out of the water:
Walk in / out of the water while keeping your board and foil under your arm (board
on its side) while holding the board’s bottom handle. Walk deeper into the water until
reaching a water patch deep enough for the length of the mast.

A safety margin is required as the board and foil will sink to some degree when the
rider gets onto the board. To prevent any risk of collision with a reef or a shoal, it is
strongly recommended to walk away from the shore while keeping very carefully the
board at its side, until reaching deep enough water. Avoid getting into the water in
wave conditions as it could make this procedure difficult and dangerous.
When heading back to the shore, it is necessary to get off the board at the same distance
from the shore that had been required to start safely. Again, it is recommended to
walk back to the shore keeping the board carefully on its side.
TO KEEP THE RRD HYDROFOIL IN GOOD CONDITIONS:
After every use, make sure you always:
•Clean and rinse all the parts of the hydrofoil before storing them.
•Take apart the front and rear wing and fuselage from the mast.
•Protect the parts by storing them in their original packaging or using another
appropriate protection.
•If chips, dents, or bumps appear following an impact, fill with epoxy resin or primer
and sand until the local surface is smooth and clean. It is strongly recommended to
let a professional handle these kinds of repairs.
•Make sure the surface of the wings remain smooth and clean. The foil works using
a dynamic equilibrium and the flow around the wings can be very sensitive to any
damages. Sudden stalling can happen if the surface condition of several parts are
compromised. Stalling the foil can unsettle the rider and result in abrupt falls.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Our hydrofoil is composed of Aluminium parts (Mast and Fuselage) and
Composite material parts (Front and Rear Wings) assembled together by stainless
steel screws. The mast is assembled to the board using a dedicated plate with inserts.
In order to maintain the assembling and disassembling process and keep a long
product lifetime we strongly recommend to follow this maintenance precautions:
•After use, always disassemble the hydrofoil from the board, the wings from the
fuselage and the fuselage from the mast and rinse the screw holes with fresh water.
•In order to keep the Stainless steel screw holes properly maintained and free from
oxidation, we strongly recommend the use of this product: Tef-Gel made by TIKAL,
(corrosion eliminator GEL) that should always be spread around the female threaded
holes in the stainless steel parts.
