Safety Warning:
This sport is more dangerous than it looks. I've cut myself badly. I've hit my head. I've torn muscles and it's only a matter of time before my next injury occurs. But I've always been attracted to challenging sports that present a risk. I was used to falling and injuries. This sport might not be for you. Familiarize yourself with your local laws. Every place has different rules. Know them. Inspect your equipment before use for damage or loose connections. The most common injuries are cuts from the foil or falling onto the foil, dock or other objects near the shore, so always wear protective equipment (helmet, CGA life jacket, wetsuit, footwear, etc). I've seen gashes from the foil that required stitches. Stay far away from passing boats, kayaks, swimmers or other objects in the water. Stay away from outboard motors. Never ride the first wake. You don't want to come into contact with the propeller of the boat. If you're riding an electric foil (efoil) be careful of the prop and keep your body parts away from it. It’s hard to judge water depth, so stay away from shallow water. Avoid slippery surfaces and sharp edges, both in and out of the water. Be prepared for the weather and water conditions. Dress appropriately. If you don’t feel safe, ask for help. Wake Thief (Wake Thief, LLC) will not be held liable for any injuries or deaths. We review products and share our own personal experience on this website, and in our videos. If you rely on the information, you assume responsibility for results.
