PRODUCT CARE INFORMATION
Board
To give your board a long life:
1. Always protect your board from the sun when not in use. The harmful effects of the sun's rays cause all colours to
fade.
2. Make sure that the pressure valve is always closed before going into the water.
3. Use NeilPryde One-Design fins, foils and foot straps.
4. Tighten the foot strap screws firmly – but don't over tighten them.
5. The foot strap screws are subject to extreme loads and forces and should be checked regularly if still right.
6. Make sure you have no sand in your Deep Tuttle fin / foil box before you attach the fin or foil.
7. Tighten the Deep Tuttle fin / foil box screws tightly until the fin or foil base is flush with the bottom.
8. Regularly check your board for holes, coming from any damage.
9. In case you find any damage make sure these are sealed and fixed properly before further use.
10. Regularly check the footstraps, dagger-board and mast track mechanism for any sand or other obstacles that could
cause failure.
11. Store your NeilPryde ONE-DESIGN board in a board bag to prevent unnecessary sun exposure, scratches, and other
wear and tear while the board is not in use.
Depending on the water you are sailing in, some times, the rails and the bottom of the board may turn yellow. This does
not mean that the while is fading because of the sun but it comes from the pollution in the water. It can easily be
removed with car polishing cream.
Fins / Foils
WARNING Windsurfing fin/foil are subject to extreme loads and forces and should be regularly checked for any signs of
wear and tear. The fin/foil used in your board can be seriously damaged by hitting a solid object or the ground. This
damage may not always be visible to the naked eye. Never place yourself in a position where the breakage of your fin/foil
would make it impossible to return to shore unaided and without assistance. The tip, trailing edge and leading edge of
this fin/foil are sharp and can cause cuts.
Take care to avoid these sharp edges with your hands, legs or feet especially during water starting.
