Wing Foiling Jibe Tutorial

Step by step tutorial will help beginners and intermediates jibe a wing foil board. These are the methods I figured out by myself over the years. There maybe other ideas. If you follow these steps you jibe easily, then progress using the same steps. To make the learning process easier, learn on flat water with a larger board and foil. When choosing the wing size, error on the side of too big than too small. Good Luck! Aquaman,

This is great explained. Cant wait to check this out on the water soon. Still practising it and fail a lot 😂

@@PeterGogolin let us know if the tips help. If it were easy it wouldn't be fun

Great tutorial! Thank you for preparing and sharing it. I’m stuck at toeside stance, I usually fall down. I will try to touch the water to change the feet in my 90 l board (I weight 75 kg)

[@aquaman1]

90L is a bit small for a beginner at 75kg. 115L - 120L would make it easier. Make sure you don't undersize the wing when learning because you'll need that extra power to regain balance when switching. As you become more efficient you can downsize the wing. Good Luck!

this is really helpful! I'm looking forward to do more downwinders so i can practise my S-turns and let go of the bottom hand. I have the common issue of not liking to "lose ground" by gybing and falling. So that is something I need to overcome.

[@aquaman1]

In my learning stages I often did downwind runs. I'd back a screwdriver , waterproof backpack with cell phone. Call Uber and get a ride back. Or ditch my bike downwind and ride back. Downwind runs help a lot to teach jybes. If not running downwind, try tacking upwind for 25 min then run back downwind. Going upwind is lot easier

[@aquaman1]

Also keep in mind, going upwind with a foil is very easy and quick compared to kitesurfing or windsurfing. Don't be worried about loosing lots of ground on a large jybe. Getting back upwind is the easy part

@@aquaman1I’m lucky enough that
we go to La Ventana, Baja Mexico every winter. So lots of downwind opportunities there!
