WING CARE
Do not leave your wing in direct sunlight or fluttering in the wind for long periods of time when not in
use. Doing so may damage the canopy material.
Do not leave your wing inflated on hot surfaces such as asphalt or sand for long periods of time. Doing
so may damage the bladders.
Avoid contact with sharp objects such as hydrofoil wings, rocks, coral, sticks and other debris which
can puncture the wing.
Do not leave your wing near shore break waves. Shore break waves can cause serious damage to
your wing.
Do not allow the leading edge to bend backwards.
Do not allow sand and/or water to get in your bladders. If you have to deflate the wing on the water,
close the valve immediately afterwards to prevent water from entering the bladders.
Never store your wing wet. Doing so may cause the canopy colors to bleed. Mildew may also occur.
Only pack your wing away after it is completely dry.
Never store your wing in hot temperatures (over 40ºC or 104ºF) for example in a hot car. Doing so may
severely damage your bladders.
This is an inflatable object and must be handled with care.
When you fall, avoid falling on the wing and make sure that you let go of the handles to avoid
damaging your wing.
To avoid over stressing the wing, do not ride overpowered.
When drying the wing, ensure that the strut bladder cannot fall back toward the trailing edge of the
wing. Lay your wing flat to dry to avoid shifting of the strut bladder.
