• 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 critical 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 the SH Flight Alu
60 on 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 SH Flight foil 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.
