How to Jibe | WING FOIL transition

When it is time to turn around, one of the first transitions you learn is the jibe, a downwind transition. Today we have the "legend" Harry Andrews with us to go over the key points to be able to nail your first jibe. Take it slow as repetition is key. Watch this video and practice it on the water. After your session rewatch the video again and you will keep catching new tips to help you to perfect the jibe. Enjoy the learning process....

Thank you guys!! This is a big jump to my learning curve! Watched it already four time and will surely watch it way more again ! ✊🤙

I can not emphasise how much i appreciate your vlogs ! Firstly I am dreaming of wing foiling again as I started last summer with a customised 7.6 SUP which I fixed a foil on and a 5.0 wing . I managed one month before I left Greece for my winter job in the swedish mountains ! So I am watching your vlogs and am soaking up the info to put it into practice back on my greek island in a few weeks time ! Your enthusiasm is addictive keep up the good work !

I’m going to try this on Thursday. I’m going to watch this video a million times. And Great advice . Before you go on the water and try this do it on the beach with just the wing first. Getting a feel for the wing dropping the back and catching will be a skill in itself

[charliethomas]

Always great instructions!! Will definitely be watching this video a few more times.

Greetings from Denmark. Awesome instruction 🤙🤙 You guys are doing a great job

[robertho]

You guys are so amazing and encouraging and give us so much inspiration and hope on this look easy but not so easy sport.

[jordibosch]

Many thanks for your great video. It looks really easy!!!! For me, the most difficult point is "the switch feet".

[simoncox]

I'm a big fan of the enthusiasm you guys have. I live in the UK and it's great to see that amazing blue water. As an old school windsurf instructor I would love to see you do an on land gybe demo of the process. For me the foot change positions and body weight distribution is crucial which is not always obvious on film. Thanks.

Great tuto as always. Best from Switzerland

Having a little rum drink is living life to its fullest if you make it out later that afternoon!

[christoph]

Greetings from Brazil... I think the same as Denmark... awesome instruction ... motivates a lot... my focus point is to go foiling through the jibe ... I am ALWAYS falling backwards as the board comes up... I know !! load your front foot LOL...

[MrPTrog]

Props on the audio! It can’t be easy getting such clean audio at the beach.

[aclarke]

Great video! Lots of nuggets of information here. Aloha 🤙🏼

[dlphn]

I finally understood where to place my feet, extremely important

[chrismriscin]

Great content, and Harry's the man!

[bambam]

I don‘t get it sorry 🙈 Damien are u regular or goofy? I’m regular, so do u mean i should go into the jibe from heelside to toeside when i‘m riding in my prefered direction and switch to switch-stance before jibing when i go the other way? Thx for your help and all your great videos 😀🤙🏻

[infoanalysis]

I have been trying for three uyears and I still cant keep the wing from back winding and the board tilts back and I fall off. I have been abole to get it a few tims heelside on the staqrboaqrd tack but after a few pumps I still fall Port tac is a total bust andf I get exhausted because I fall almost every change of direction so while some folks fall thre or four times a session at most I am falling about 20 to 30 trimes and walk away 3exhaisted

Damien, can you please comment on how to attach your safety harness and keep from getting tangled in it when you are turning and switching your feet. I notice Harry has his connected to the back of his waist, while most others are attaching it to an ankle. Thanks - love your videos....
