Foiling comes with a unique set of challenges, risks and danger

above and beyond those inherent to the sport of kiteboarding.

Know your limits, know your gear, know the conditions and use

extra caution to keep yourselves and others safe on the water.

Here are a few basic safety precautions we recommend taking.

1. The use of a helmet and wetsuit are highly recommended, especially when learning, to help protect yourself from impacts with your board and foil.

2. Check all foil screws and components before every session to ensure all connections are tight and components are in proper working order.

3. Use extreme caution when foiling near other people or objects. Give yourself and others a wide berth.

4. Do not foil in shallow water.

5. Pay extra attention to wind and water conditions; always air on the side of caution.

7. Be aware that your foil will carry speed and drift on its own faster and farther than a regular surfboard or twin tip.

ASSEMBLING YOUR GHOST WHISPER FOIL

1. Before assembly ensure that all components are clean

and completely free of sand and debris. Align the Mast and

the fuselage as pictured at left. Slide the fuselage on top

of the mast so that the two holes in each line up. Use the

two M6x20mm socket bolts with washers to attach the

fuselage to the mast.

NOTE: Check to ensure that the screws are tight

before every use.

2. Before assembly, ensure that the threaded holes in the

fuselage are clean. Place the front wing on the fuselage.

Be sure that the shape and holes of the fuselage coincide

with the shape and holes on the front wing. Insert the

M6x20mm screws in the first and third threaded hole

and the flat head screw M6x25mm in the middle hole and

tighten. NOTE: Always keep the threaded holes clean and

lubricated with water displacement ( eg. lithium grease )

to avoid thread seize.

3. Before assembly, ensure that the threaded holes in the

fuselage are clean. Place the rear wing ( stabilizer ) on the

fuselage. The fuselage has the shape of the upper side

of the stabilizer: be sure that the holes and the shape

coincide. Insert the two M6x16mm screws and tighten.

ATTACH GHOST WHISPER TO FOIL BOARD

Slingshot provides a standard tuttle of 16mm thickness,

before you complete the final assembly please read the

instructions carefully.

WARNING:

Be sure that the tuttle head matches perfectly with your

tuttle box:

If the box of your board is thinner than the Tuttle head you may

need to sand the head to ensure it fits perfectly in the box.

Conversely you may need to add a spacer to the Tuttle head if

the box is too large.

Check that the 2 tuttle screws are the correct length for

your board.

Check that the thread on the two brass bushings is in line

with the respective holes before trying to insert the screws.

1. Coat all hardware with marine-grade grease before assembling your foil.

2. Rinse your foil after exposure to salt water

3. Ensure all hardware is screwed firmly in place before each use

4. With regular use, it’s a good idea to occasionally disassemble, inspect and clean your foil components to ensure proper condition and working order.

5. Be careful when handling your foil - it can tip over easily if placed down incorrectly. The safest way is to set your foil and board down together so it can’t tip or blow over in the wind.

6. Use a foil bag whenever possible
