Great stuff
Love the fact that you tell us the board size, foil size, wing size, your weight, etc! Helps a lot!
Thank you for the kind words!
Thanks for the tip about getting the wing out of the way. That's a great way to think about it. I'll try that next time I'm out!
Let us know how it goes when you try this technique! 👊😁
@@DamienLeroyUA-cam I had a session yesterday in 6-10kt and "getting the wing out of the way" worked a treat - I strung together sequences of 10+ foiling gybes! Gwen your tip is excellent thank you. Another tip (from Kite Surf College) that has been really helping is getting both feet close to the centreline. I feel like I might be ready to start tacking now.. thanks again! When is a good time to come and get some lessons from you guys? I am in Australia and maybe could organise a week sometime next year..
@@speedintraffic Thank you for sharing your message and your kind words we are so thankful for you! Thank you Gwen for sharing you knowledge to the world. Winter in FL is great! Shoot us an email at www.wingfoilprocenter.com and we will line you up! Thank you!
@@DamienLeroyUA-cam will do!
I do my Jibe very well, but I liked to watch and hear your voice 👍
Fantastic. Smooth slow jibe that was easy to see what you were doing. I’m finally getting most of my jibes down but this has some great tips. I’d love to see a video on how to tack. Maybe you already have one but I haven’t found it. Cheers and Thanks
Comme toujours, Gwen, c’est super instructif et cela paraît tellement simple pour toi. Je vais tester et appliquer tes conseils dès cet après-midi.
Bad day on the water beats a good day at the office, any day!
loved the video and the advice in the end! allways go out. thank you so much!!!!
Trés bien mon ami, very useful tips. Very interested in your tutorial on light wind jibing, can't find it on the channel yet. Can't wait! Thanks for all the good videos you guys put out!
Great tip. Love seeing you on the E3! Thrilled you carry Kalama boards here in FL.
We love the Kalama boards! :)
Great video Thank you Gwen your awesome!
Great tips and your sailing location in Idaho is beautiful place
Merci Damien, 9/10 gibes hier. C’est comme en windsurf finalement envoyer le mat à l’extérieur, je ne l’avait pas senti en wing du coup ça a été un déclic.
After watching I did my first jibe today.... first attempt! Then didn't get any after. But I don't care... moving forward. Thanks!
Amazing! Stoked for you!!! 👏👏👏
You guys rock. Thank you for helping us all improve 💥
Thank you brother!
Love it! You guys are awesome. Hello from Hood River!
Thank you we appreciate you!
Génial Gwen ! Trop hâte de tester ✌
I realize my problem jibing is i am trying to jibe an switch my feet at the same time, riding toe side kiting is uncomfortable on the body, hips an knees so i usually try to avoid it. But for kite foil i will have to learn to either switch feet to toe side and then jibe or jibe onto toe side then switch feet. I am going to try what you described in another video, ride heel side on my good side (goofy) then jibe to my toe side staying toe side long enough staying on foil, then jibe again, while toe side back to my goofy foot heel side. I am also going to practice the wing jibe on the beach first. Thanks for the tips. I have tried hundreds of jibes and haven’t hit one while on foil yet. I didnt touch wing or foil until mid aug, and have had 8 days on the water between hood river and now in obx. I hope by the end of my three weeks in obx, i will have my jibes down. Larry
Light wind Winging is so relaxing
Right!
Thank you, would help me 😊
good instructor!
Great video again, thanks! So do you think this way is easier then switching hands over your head ( "traditional" jibe), with getting the wing out of your way...? What is better to learn first? I'm at the moment struggeling to master my foiling jibe...
Thank you man,you help me with wing foil
Thank you! We appreciate you.
Thank you 🎉
Thank you!
Excellent! Thank you.
Thank you!
Awesome video you guys! Thanks for the instruction and insight and inspiration, can't wait to start practicing! Where in Idaho is that?
thank you for the great tips!!
Thank you we appreciate you!
Gracias
The front hand is important. The palm needs to face the sky BEFORE the jibe. Than the wing will rotate by itself :) If you do the heineken jibe the palm needs to face down before the jibe. Nice Video !!!
Hi Magnus, interested in what you write about the front hand....could you explain a bit please....I'm triggerd, seems like a good tip to me but not sure if I completely understand it...
Look at 2:02 he corrects his front hand befor the jibe so when he lets go of the back hand the wing will turn much easier. No weird twist in the shoulder :)
Thanks
Thank you!
Thanks for this great video Gwen! Are you bringing the wing in front of you early in the turn (ie before being completely downwind and feeling the pressure drop in wing) to avoid being back winded ?
Hey Gwen, que penses tu de faire un itineraire "downwinder" pour montrer comment negocier le 'swell' downwind et negocier le 'repower of the wing' upwind?
super video merci!
Thank you!
Hi, nice video! Was kind of a camera pool/ system do you have?
Hi Gwen,
Beautiful! If there’s one thing I’ve learned from this video it’s the idea of guiding the wing further forward & “out of the way”.
By my recollection, this seems to happen more naturally when going into my jibe toe-side vs. heel-side, perhaps as a result of the untwisting of my body.
Can you comment on whether it is also advisable to steer the wing slightly upward at the same time as you guide it forward? This seems to be required for the Heineken jibe.
Thx, -Stuart
Hi again, just revisiting my comment after a light wind session. Turns out that guiding the wing forward and out-of-the-way is all that was required to fix my clumsy toe-side jibes. I didn’t need to steer upwards. Spinning my 7m2 wing was easy once I had swept it forward - I didn’t even think about it, just focused on carving my turn. Thanks Gwen and Damien 🙏 . Wish I could contribute to your YouTubing efforts!
they call them heineken jibes. why not make a dedicated tutorial about them. heineken jibe.
Yep How to Heineken jibe video is coming! :)
Is your trailing hand upside down before you go into the jibe?
I have less than a month experience for wing foiling,, this looks like my 5 year plan
It’s a fun process, enjoy every moment of it! 😅
Great video! Are you using an Insta360 X3 with a waist strap?
Yep!
How did you record the sound for this? 😁
I wanna know more about the filming setup! Is that an insta360?
Yes it’s the insta360 X3
Where is this place? Very nice!

Downloop gybe = Heineken gybe
Right! Thank you for clarifying! 🙏🙌
Looking forward to Heineken gybe video. I am struggling with it for the last year!
Same thing here... as you guys mentioned it, the biggest benefit is for light wind , which means big wing (6-7m). And somehow I cannot get it to work with my 7m , so I would apreciate tips specific for large wings with huge spans
As a teaser, here are some jibe techniques on the 8m Vision wing ua-cam.com/users/shortsWIIZHnQ_BSY?feature=share
@@maximemailloux3121 for me it doesn't change for span of wing but there are wings that are really good at doing heineken gybes and there are wings that aren't - it's much like tacking, some wings do it almost on automatic and others just don't do it well at all. So choice of wing can make your life harder or easier - I fly the 2023 Duotone Unit and it is so easy to heineken, where as the Strike V2 I previously owned was a total b*tch to heineken
