Kitesurf Guide & Tips
Tips for maintaining your aluminum foil (kite, wingfoil, windsurf, and SUP)
Published April 13, 2020 · by The GlissEvolution Team
Hadou Brunner has once again published a great video on "how to maintain your aluminum foil."
In summary
- The video features a Fanatic wingfoil, but the maintenance tips apply to any foil brand (Duotone, F-One, Eleveight, Cabrinha, Slingshot, Naish, Airush...) and any watersport (kite foil, wing foil, windsurf foil, surf foil, SUP foil...).
- ) and whatever your glisse sport (Kite foil, Wing foil, Windsurf foil, Surf foil, SUP foil...). GlissEvolution team comments: Hadou's advice is spot on, but don't let it make you paranoid!
- Leaving your foil assembled for 15 days won't cause it to seize up and become completely stuck.
- If you leave it for several months, however, that's when problems will start to appear.
