Never leave unattended without securing the wing. If needed attach the leash to a sand bag, board, or a weight/solid object to secure the wing.

Security

Always use the Leash. Attach it before you start.

Wrap the Waist Strap around your waist and close the buckle.
Adjust to fit snug around your waist
If you become overpowered or loose control let go of the wing, it will de-power on the leash line.
If you need to completely free yourself from the wing undo the Waist Strap. Be aware the wing will likely become out of reach.

First Use

Never learn to use this product in more than 10 knots of wind.
The wing has a de-power handle on the Leading Edge and power handles on the Strut.
When carrying the wing use the de-power handle.
To practice sheeting the wing for power, first take hold of the front power handle, then reach back to take hold of a rear power handle.
Sheet the wing in to power up, and out to de-power.
Practice sheeting the wing in and out to feel how the power is generated.
Practice handling the wing on land before going in the water.

Water Self Rescue

Turn the wing to face the power handles upwards.
Open the Leading Edge OUT valve to deflate.
Fold the wing tip on tip then roll to the centre.
Screw the valve back in to seal the bladder.
Open the Strut OUT valve to deflate.
Make sure no water enters the valves while they are open.

Wrap the waist strap around the wing, close the buckle and tighten to secure.
Paddle/swim back to shore with your board and wing.
In case you become separated from your board we recommend leaving the strut inflated for buoyancy.

Packing

Open the OUT valves. The large valves dump air quickly.
Roll one side of the wing to the centre.
Squeeze all air out from the strut.
Roll up the opposite side of the wing to the centre.
Screw the valves back in a few turns and close the protection covers.
Fold in sections from the trailing edge to fit into the bag.

NOTE:
If packing on the water, after rolling the wing up, screw the valves back in to seal the bladders to avoid water entering.

Product Care

This is a technical product used in harsh outdoor environments.
Use common sense and care for your equipment.

•Never inflate this product on a rough surface.

•Inflate slowly and ensure the bladders are inflating correctly. If you see a twist or something looks strange stop pumping immediately and check bladders. They may need re-inserting to ensure they inflate properly.

•Once you have inflated secure the product. Do not use heavy objects. Boards and fins can damage the material.

•Never leave this product un-used for long periods of time in the sun and wind. UV, canopy flapping due to wind, sand etc hitting the sailcloth can all severely shorten the products lifespan.

•Never pack this product wet, only when completely dry. Packing wet can damage the material and its coatings and may lead to dye running. This is not valid for warranty.

•Never leave this product inside a car or in direct sunlight.
