Windsurfing fins are subject to extreme loads and forces and should be regularly checked for any signs of wear and tear. The fin 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 would make it impossible to return to shore unaided and without assistance. The tip, trailing edge and leading edge of this fin are sharp and can cause cuts. Take care to avoid these sharp edges with your hands, legs or feet especially during water starting. |
