•   SIGNATURE PERFORMANCE FOILS
• 13)  Loss or damage to Foils or broken foil boxes on boards due to heavier riders  – Suggested maximum weight for foils is 90kg / 198Lbs – riders of greater weight do so on own accord.
• 14) Damage to foils and parts from launching / exiting the water. This is where most damage can incur, so be sure to exercise correct procedures.
• 15) Damage to foils from incorrect set up- please see videos HOW-TO assemble.
• 16) Damage to foils or parts from  from use in reefs areas – please be aware that carbon/ epoxy products could be damaged if it comes into contact with a reef or rocky area.
• 17) Surf damage is not considered a manufacturing defect. At all costs avoid bailing your board  in front of waves or sets as this is where foils will take the most abuse and is not covered under  warranty policy.
• 18) Repair or replacement of any product under this Limited Warranty is not available for ordinary wear and tear, including scratches or paint chipping / “spider cracks”
• 19) Paint chipping – or better known as “SPIDER CRACKS” is caused by overload in a critical point, usually around the fuselage. This can be normal especially with larger wings or heavier riders and / or riders using SUP boards (especially heavier SUP boards) and in the ocean where waves break on a foil.
• 20) Damage caused from taking foil from hot temperature into cooler waters. Foils are produced from carbon composites and taking a foil directly from heat into cooler water can cause a chemical reaction resulting in delam or splitting of seams due to excess gas needing to escape. Suggest to keep the foil covers on, with reflective side up to reflect the heat until going into water.
