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 and 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 center threaded

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.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When getting started with the Ghost

Whisper foil and a board with tracks we recommend mounting

the foil as far back on the board as possible until you get a feel

for your new setup. This means using the front hole pattern on

the pedestal and sliding the track as far back as possible.

1. To attach your fully assembled foil to your board, place your

board upside down and slide the four female pieces of your

mounting hardware into slots in the tracks of your board,

two on each side.

2. Carefully place your foil over the mounting track so the

front hole pattern in the pedestal line up with the mounting

hardware. Be extra cautious with your foil in this position;

components are fragile and can damage easily if it gets

knocked down or blown over.

3. Bolt your foil to your board, tightening each bolt bit by bit

until all four are equally tight.

ATTACH GHOST WHISPER TO FOIL BOARD

Slingshot foil boards include foil

mounting hardware. Remove the

M8 flat head screws and use the

M8 truss head screws that are

included with the foil.

TAIL OF BOARD NOSE OF BOARD

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
