This video is a pure gem. My jibes always end up like the ones at 5:48, but I would never have figured out the offset problem by myself. Can't wait for my next session to practice all this !
Cheers from France

Man, I rarely comment but I have watched a bunch of your videos through the years, for kite and wing, and it amazes me how consistently clear and yet comprehensive those are. This is the best watersport teaching channel on youtube to my knowledge.
Out of curiosity, in what part of the world are those filmed ?
Cheers and bravo !

Another great video! I've been struggling to get my jibes sorted and can now see I've been trying to do too much too soon. Thanks for the tips!

I watched a number of jibing tutorials and this is the best I've seen. Looking forward to my next session to put it into practice.

Amazing video! Some of the things you suggested I was already doing, some are new to me and good ideas!

This wingfoiling beginner series has been my go-to even since I started in Dec 2021 and has taught me so much. I sent a monetary contribution to show my appreciation.

Terrific follow-up video. I've been struggling with some of these issues without really knowing the cause, so I greatly appreciate that you explain what is wrong and the result.

Yet another great video, thanks Alex! I love how you always manage to break down something complicated into small and clear steps, with good explanation and examples. Also the discussing of “what went wrong here” helps a lot. Keep up the good work!

Great video! I have found it very useful, as always. Adding analysis of other users errors is awesome. I do the the same mistakes as some of the, and I will place the feet more in the centre.

Brilliant video! One of the best tutorials I have seen.

Outstanding!! That first fail attempt off the back of the board is totally what happens to me. Not next time though as I know now what I'm doing wrong. Thanks
