Hey guys, most importantly do you think it's spelt JIBE or GYBE? 🤷♂️
Gybe,awesome vid btw!
Really who cares , & ohhh listen to your self
Gybe +1
I think Jibe is American and Gybe is UK/European
@@SamLight Canadian here with Gybe.
this is a great video now i just have to actually do it
Hi Sam, thanks for your tutorial. It helps a lot with my foil progression. The explanation is very clear and the demo-videos are perfect to understand the maneuvers. Congrats for the delivery, it’s very pro.
These are great foil tutorials, really well produced Sam.
Thanks! Exactly what I’m working on!
Awesome! No worries... it takes time but they will come
I found this video very helpful. You cannot underestimate practice, practice, and more practice ! Dominant foot forward is also a great tip and one which is really helping me. Thanks Sam.
Thanks, thats great to hear, it takes a long time with foiling, many many attempts but at least it doesn't really hurt...keep up the practice!
Thanks mate, i’m going hard on this at the moment and this video is a big help!
Jibing and staying on your toes side without stance change is not a problem in itself, but the key aspect of jibe is to control the kite and prevent line slack. That is not covered here and I find that crucial part. I am still learning jibe but if you don't do downloop on a jibe, kite stays behind you and you can't finish the jibe as it loses power.
Thanks Sam for the great video showing how it's done.
Like a few others I can do it on the surfboard, but it seems as I come around to toeside with the foil things seems so unsteady and I always crash.
I guess I have fear about the flying knife is going to get me.
Hey, no worries. It just takes time with the foil, just keep trying over and over and it will come. Try to forget about the knife chasing you 😄
It's hard to forget the flying knife when it's already cut you.
Can't wait to get out on my brand new Moses 91-633 Onda, and try this jibe. Thanks a lot dude
yeww no worries!
Very nice content during lockdown. Keep it cooming! Can´t wait for the tack tuto. cheers from BRZ
Thanks, will do!
Excellent tips! Will try them next sesh
Thanks for the vid. Hadn’t in my mind to stear the kite up to 12 o clock due jibing. I am just practicing jibes without success… Will try it out tomorrow.
Dang! You make it look so easy! I started foiling in La Ventana this past winter and only at the end of the season was I feeling comfortable enough to attempt a jibe (notice the spelling, the way I’ve seen it most often). I never felt that I had a framework for how to do it. (I can rip jibes on my surfboard but for some reason foiling just wigs me out and it feels different.)
Awesome vid, thanks, cheers
Cheers mate, it just takes a long time of practicing to make it look easy. I've been foiling for 5 years and only now am I getting my tacks and jibes consistent
Nice job 👍
Sweet drone shots brew! Looking smoooooth!
cheers bru!
thanxx! keep them coming!!!
cheers, will do!
Great video mate! know it take sh@t-load of time to do. Keep it up. Love the angle with the drones. Helps a lot vs other tutorial available
You’re the best my friend
Nice work Sam! Keep pumping out the quarro vids! Also safety first, check no ones behind you. Love it! Why are so many kiters allergic to checking behind them before turning?? 🙃🙃🙃
haha i know, I am guilty of not checking sometimes well, easily done in the moment 🙃
Great ! Keep going with tutorials!
Thanks, will do!
Hey Sam nice video. Do you have a how to fly your kite video for beginners who are first getting into the sport. If you didn't that could be a fun video for you to make if you can go out in your yard and fly a kite. Also you should do more kite boarding workout videos. I enjoyed the last one you made
Hey Bill, great idea! I will add that video to the list, thanks
Great work - thanks!
I just came here to say that you _don't_ need to know how to foot swap in order to learn how to gybe. I think that gybing is a much easier skill than foot swapping, and I did thousands of gybes before I started working seriously on learning how to foot swap. That is, I think that riding toeside is easier than foot swapping.
You may disagree, and that's fine, but it's important for new foilers to understand that they do have a choice. They can learn to foot swap, or, ... not.
I totally agree about always gybing with your dominant foot forwards - I just do that without the foot swap
Is some of the footage from Green Island? Great video. I always thought the best advice was to not fall off, when all this time I should have been aspiring to ride away like a badass! Can’t wait to get back on the water and practice.
Those of us conversant in the Queen’s English ought to be watching to improve our gybes. The colonials tend to prefer the alternative spelling. But no one cares and if you can foil all the way round you deserve to spell it however you fancy!
Thank you! Yea there's quite a few shots in there from Green Island, such a good spot! Yea I think it's a Gybe but there's more spellings of Jibe online 😄
@@SamLight beautiful (and helpful) video. Could you share which spots are featured in it (other than green island)?
Hey Sam - great tutorial thanks! So, I’m trying to learn how to toeside on a foil - would you recommend first learning to switch your feet to ride toeside - or learn how to gybe to get round to toeside?
Hey, no worries thanks mate! Yea I would definitely recommend learning to gybe round to toeside first, then you can practice your toeside riding before switching your feet. Just got to stick with it, it takes time.. 😄
Don’t even bother riding switch I reckon
@Sam Light which line mount and camera do you use? footage looks amazing :)
Same question here??
Thanks for the cool videos and great tips.🤙
the noir matter line mount and gimble sometimes, the gimble is awesome but its not very waterproof... noirmatter.com
Hi Sam, great video.
Do you make a point on having your bar sheeted in or out when down looping?
Thank you
Great video Sam, do you recall which front foil model you were using in this video? And what the optimum size foil is for kiting?
Super foil tutorials! How does the Ghost compare with SST for foiling pls?
Hey Sam. Great video. Once you’ve got downloops sorted do you use this all the time when gybeing? And abandon going over the top? Thanks
Hi Sam, what kite and what size are you kiting with in this video?
