Overview

Recommended Inflation pressure

Instructions to inflate your wing

Strut valve
Always pump the Strut first, before than the Leading Edge valve.

1. Make sure that the valve is correctly positioned, by twisting it and pulling it up. Connect the pump to the valve to open it
2. Pump the strut accordingly the pressure values specified for each model (see page 4)
3. Make sure that the valve is correctly positioned, by twisting it and pulling it up. Connect the pump to the valve to open it
4. Pump the leading edge accordingly the pressure values specified for each model (see page 4)

Any use of an air compressor may result in poor performance or damage to the wing, and automatically avoids all warranties. If you leave your wing exposed to the hot sun, check the pressure and deflate it slightly. Otherwise the wing may become over inflated and stretch the material. The ambient temperature affects the tube’s internal pressure: a variation of 1° C/ 1.8° F causes a variation of the pressure in the tube of +/- 0.06psi (4 mBar).

Tips for a safe use

RECOMMENDED WING FOIL PRACTICE

• Wing foiling is a HAZARDOUS activity and the use of this equipment involves the risk of serious personal injury to any part of the user’s body or death.
• Injuries are an INHERENT RISK of wing foiling and the participation in this sport implies the user’s express assumption of those risks.
• Do NOT use the wing out of the wind ranges that they were specified for. Always check the weather forecast to ensure that the wind range is apropriate.
• Do NOT exceed the recommended pressure indicated for each part of the wing and do NOT leave the wing in the sun when not in use.
• Injuries are an INHERENT RISK of foiling and the participation in foiling implies the user’s acceptance of those risks.
• Wear a helmet when appropriate.
• Children should always be under adult supervision.
• It is strongly recommended that beginners take lessons from a licensed or certified instructor.
• Always inspect your equipment for signs of wear and tear each time before riding.
• IF any products are found to show signs of wear and tear these should be repaired or replaced immediately and before further use. If in doubt about any signs of wear and tear, please contact your local NeilPryde ONE-DESIGN vendor. Contact details are available from www.neilpryde.com.
• Make sure that your wing is connected with a leash to your body (wrist or waist) when in use.
• NEVER place yourself in a situation where breakage of any one of the various components would pose a risk to yourself or others, or make it impossible to return to the shore safely and unassisted.
• Take time to study the conditions including sea state, tides, currents and weather forecasts before you decide to go sailing. Beware of sailing in offshore winds.
• Familiarize yourself with any new location before venturing onto the water. Ask the locals to tell you about any hazards.
• Watch out for other beach users, especially swimmers, divers and small children. Make sure you keep your board and wing under control at all times and that they don’t get blown about on the beach or in the water.
• Always use appropriate safety and floatation devices. Wear the correct protective clothing for the conditions such as a wetsuit or a UV top. Cold water and cold weather can result in hypothermia. Always carry identification.
• Make sure someone knows where you’ve gone & when you are expected back – never sail alone.
• Be aware of the conditions as they change. Always return to the beach if there is a significant change in the conditions, i.e. wind dropping or wind and waves increasing.
• As you learn the sport, work within your own limitations and do not exceed them.
• Make sure to stay hydrated. This is a physically demanding sport and dehydration can also occur in cold temperatures.
• Do not alter, modify or change this product.
• This product is designed and manufactured exclusively for wing foiling on water.
• Do not operate the wing under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Keep these instructions for future reference.

How to attach the leash

INSTRUCTIONS

The leash has one side with a short loop plus the swivel (on the left), and the other side with a bigger loop (on the left). The short loop needs to be attached either to the wrist cuff or the waist belt, depending how you like to use your leash.

1. Push the shorter loop through the attachment point of the wrist cuff or waiste belt

2. Push the bigger loop through the short loop until the leash is tight

3. Make sure to pull it as tight as possible, making a node

4. On the other side, push the bigger loop through the attachment point of the wing

5. Push the wrist band or waist belt through the loop

Instructions to deflate your wing

1. After using the wing, whenever possible, rinse it with fresh water

2. Find the LE valve, push its pin down and twist it. The air will start flow to the outside

3. Find the strut valve, push its pin down and twist it, the same  way it was done for the LE valve

Instructions to fold your wing

1. Flip the wing over, so the handles are down

2. Fold the wing in half at the strut, so the handles are sticking out

3. Fold both trailing edges forward – position the crease line just after the mini battens end

4. Roll from wingtips to center strut

5. Fold it in half between the handles to make it compact. Use the waist leash belt or wrist leash to secure it

Repair instructions – removing the valve

1. Make sure that the wing is rinsed, dry and deflated before starting the repair.

2. Use the key provided in the repair kit to remove the valve.

3. Turn the key anti-clockwise direction, until the valve is completely out of the thread.

4. Remove the valve by pulling it up, with the assistance of the key.

5. After removing the valve and the bladder  anti-twist system (only LE), remove the bladder. Repair the bladder using the repair patches provided with the repair kit by glueing them over the hole. Insert the bladder and re-install the valve and the bladder antitwist system (LE only).
