GET TO KNOW YOUR CARBON MAST
The F-ONE carbon mast is monobloc and therefore
consists of one single piece. The top ends by a plate
with 4 holes enabling to fasten the mast to any board
fitted with a double track system. The bolts must be
M6 diameter with a tapered head (bolt spacing is
160 x 90 mm), the length of these bolts vary depen-
ding on the standard of the board, please refer to your
board specifications and equipment.
At the lower end, the mast ends with a mast foot fea-
turing the TITAN format, which enables to fasten the
mast onto the fuselages and wings also featuring the
corresponding TITAN imprint. Fastening the bottom of
the mast is done using some M6 bolts. The standard
and length of these bolts depend of the fuselage or
the wing which is being connected. Please check the
characteristics of the screws supplied with your fuse-
lage or front wing.

WARNING
THE SHAPE OF THE WINGS' PROFILE SHALL NOT BE MODIFIED, FILLED AND SANDED.
DOING SO WOULD ALTER THE BALANCE AND PREVENT THE CORRECT OPERATION OF
THE FOIL.
In order to guarantee the correct behavior and performances of the foil, the rear edge (trailing edge) of the
wings must remain very thin, hereby making this part more fragile in case of impacts. During handling and use
of the FOIL, the user should be particularly cautious with these sharp areas in order to avoid any risk of injury.
!
Vibrations during use can lead to the loosening of
the bolts. To ensure proper functionnality and avoid
damage/failure, it is necessary to tighten all bolts
firmly before each use (especially those between the
fuselage/plane and the mast)

The F-ONE Carbon mast is designed to be used for
a variety of foiling water sports: kite-foil, surf-foil,
wing-foil, etc.
However, it is not recommended for use as a
windsurf/windfoil foil mast and warranty will not
be applicable in case of breakage for such use.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Following every use, make sure you always
• Take appart the front wing, fuselage
and other parts from the mast.
• Clean and rinse all the parts of the foil
before storing them.
• Protect the parts by storing them in their
original packaging or using another appropriate
protection.

GUARANTEE
F-ONE products are guaranteed according to
the laws in force against any major defect.
This warranty is subject to the following limiting
clauses:
The warranty is valid only if the product is used under
normal conditions of use and excludes the use for
rental. F-ONE reserves the right to determine whether
or not the guarantee is covered by a visual inspection
(photo or visual inspection of the equipment) clearly
showing the defect(s).
This warranty does not cover damage caused by
• Misuse (including any damage caused by an impact of any part of the hydrofoil with the sea bed, reef, shoal,
or any other element),
• Abuse, neglect or normal wear and tear,
• Any alteration of the original equipment,
• Damage due to excessive sun exposure or to winds on the beach,
• Damage caused by improper handling and storage,
• Damage caused by use in shore break,
• Damage caused by anything other than defects in material and workmanship.
FOR ALL WARRANTY CLAIMS,
CONTACT YOUR DEALER FIRST.
Make sure the surface of the blades remain smoo-
th and clean. The foil works using a dynamic equi-
librium and the flow around the wings can be very
sensible to local roughness. Sudden stalling can
happen if the surface condition of the several parts is
compromised. Stalling the foil can unsettle the rider
and result in abrupt falls. If local bumps or troughs
appear following an impact, fill with epoxy resin or
primer and sand until the local surface is smooth and
clean again. It is strongly recommended to let a pro-
fessional handle these kinds of repairs.
If necessary, this information may be sent to the F-ONE
distributor in your country. The product may be re-
turned only after the issue of a customer service return
number by your F-ONE distributor. The original invoice
must be attached to any warranty claim. The name of
the store and the date of purchase must be clearly le-
gible. If the product is declared defective by F-ONE, the
warranty covers the repair or replacement of the de-
fective product only. F-ONE is not responsible for any
additional cost, loss or damage resulting from misuse
of this product.
