Safety Instructions
Use
In case of loss of control during flight, release the remote control trigger to cut off the motor power and drop into the water on the side the board leans toward.
If you lose control of the vessel in flight and try to stay on the board at all costs, you may lose balance and fall on the wrong side. This could result in a collision with the foil and cause injury.

Legal requirements regarding protective gear must be followed.
Wearing a helmet and a flotation device is highly recommended.
