Gybe & Footswap Tutorials (Strapless & Directional Kitesurf Series)

This tutorial first looks at the heelside to toeside gybe on a directional board. It then covers the footswap that can be used afterwards. Finally, it explains some drills that will help you prepare for the strapless foot swap.
Board: Pro Whip

the kick down with the front foot before swapping made it for me!

your channel is a true one-stop shop for all kitesurfing tutorials, thank you a lot for making the videos! I always come back to the channel after the session to find out what I was doing wrong and somehow you always have the answer!

These videos have excellent camera angles to demonstrate the lesson plans.This combined with the illustrations of wind, kite and directions of flight. Allow easy understanding of the information. Keep up the good work.

I'm learning to gybe the surfboard, I can't tell you how many times I come back from kiting and jump on this video to see what I did right or wrong and to get ready for the next session. I WIIL JIBE:) Thanks so much, your videos are so informative and professionally done. Keep up the good work.

excellent as usual ! that ski stance tip is really good. Its a great way to make work entertaining and fun since people bail quite a lot at first but eventually learn a lot.

Thanks for another great video! I just re-watched this after trying a few gybes - it makes much more sense now that I have attempted it. One of the things that I recognized I was doing wrong was following the kite all the way around and ending up behind the kite - you need to send the kite across the window and then turn your board (as shown in video) BUT make sure to keep your kite downwind from you. I can get most of my gybes now but still haven't mastered the foot swap. Going toe-side upwind is also tricky, you really need to lean back in the harness and edge hard.

[GaetanoCrisci]

GREAT! also foot swap with straps would be very appreciated, and also how to ride toe side with surfboard and didn't stall after the turn... (I always stall when trying toeside riding... probably I'm not taking the correct wind angle...)

See a tutorial on the surfboard strapless pop?

Isn there any issues with using a leash when riding a strapless directional board? I'm always thinking itll be so easy to get too far from the board. Especially if riding in a bit of surf.

Should a relative beginner use a strapless or directional board?
