This list of recommendations is not exhaustive and does not replace knowledge and a serious study of the
rules of safety and navigation at sea. The foil in particular is a dangerous sport which cannot be improvised.

GENERAL RULES CONCERNING THE PRACTICE OF FOIL

For your safety, do not use this product until you have read and understood these warnings and instructions
and, above all, follow them. The practice of Foil involves the risk of serious accidents. Improper handling of the
Foil can result in cuts, serious injury or death to you or others.
A FOIL SHOULD BE USED WITH ALL THE PRECAUTIONS THAT ARE COMMON IN SURFING, KITING, OR
WING RIDING, in addition to those related to the Foil. Remember that the Foil is long, sharp, and can reach
high speeds. Getting hit by a Foil, or hitting a third party can have dramatic consequences. These are not toys.
GONG strongly recommends that you take a course for each of the Foil practices, in a school specializing in
Foil learning, in order to be responsible and careful before using this product alone.
Make sure you have insurance covering the practice of Foil.
The manufacturers and suppliers of this product are not responsible for property damage or personal injury due
to either simple or improper use, or excessive, competitive, or irresponsible use, of the product by the user.
RESPECT THE RULES OF PRIORITY AND SAFETY.
Find out about the local legislation in force concerning the practice of Foil sports on the spot you are targeting.
When you practice, do not forget to keep a safe distance from all obstacles, other people and boats. Stay
away from swimmers and other people, including your friends, even when you consider that you have reached
a sufficient level to do so.
USE THIS PRODUCT ONLY IF YOU ARE IN GOOD PHYSICAL CONDITION AND CAN SWIM PROFICIANTLY.
Don't overestimate your strength: never go further than you can swim in the present and forecasted weather
conditions. Swimming in the sea in a distress situation is much more difficult than swimming in a pool. Minors
must not practice without the agreement and supervision of their legal guardian.
KEEP UP TO DATE WITH THE WEATHER FORECAST.
It is up to you to make the decision to go out on the water or not, depending on the weather conditions
observed and announced. Never Foil in stormy weather, in threatening or changing conditions.
OBSERVE THE CURRENTS.
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE HEIGHT OF YOUR MAST: unlike surfing, SUP or Kitesurfing, it is imperative to start
navigating on a body of water deep enough so that the Foil does not touch the bottom or hit a rocky area.
PROTECT YOURSELF!
You must wear a helmet, an impact vest and ideally thick booties and a wetsuit to practice this sport.
