I tried the footstrap idea and it worked well - thank you!
Epic! Glad it helped!!
I believe this may be the best video on the subject I've seen. The wing overhead and footstrap points are especially well taken. Thanks.
Appreciate the comment James! Glad to hear the video helped 🙂
Great suggestions and first step to nail - practicing the foot switch and getting comfortable riding with feet in both directions on both sides. Have been trying to gybe, but crashing/flailing without these basic positions learned. Also will try adding the front footstraps as markers.
Thanks for this video, really clear with your voice over and the on-screen foot position images. Excellent work! I learnt heaps
Great video mate. One tip I would give that helped me was when switching concentrate on applying toe pressure after you switch. I kept falling to my heel side as soon as I would switch so switch and apply more toe pressure than you think to keep board level. Helped me heaps. Cheers.
Great point that wasn't covered! Thanks for the feedback 👍
Superb video. Best one I’ve seen. Helped a lot with learning to switch feet. The putting the foil forward was the ‘game changer’ . What a great piece of advice . Thanks . Now going to try the tack!
Great to hear! Thanks for commenting 🙂
I really like this progression that you show. Thank you for the tips.
Hey great tip about putting the footstraps on! I went out and bought some and it's made a huge difference. Thanks mate.
Great to hear!! Thanks for the comment 🙂
Brilliant mate. I think you have nailed it.
I’m slowly putting together some videos too. Nothing advanced, just going back in time and trying to remember what might help others learn.
But this one from you is brilliant.
Well done
Appreciate it! Thank you 🙂
Interesting perspective Lachie. Some good tips there that I will try. I think one thing that many struggle with is getting to the toeside stance. You make it look very easy, but I think many people including me struggle getting feet into position quickly. I've gotten around this by having a really long fuse to give good pitch control. Then shuffle my feet close together (caterpillar crawl the toes) over the foil balance point, then shuffle them apart in toeside stance. It's clumsy (6-8 steps), but I can get it nearly every time, where trying to do a 2 step switch sees me off most of the time. I'm building to the 2 step by doing multiple steps initially.
Yeah, unfortunately I don't have any footage from when I was first learning but it involves plenty of falling off until you find the magic spot and build up the muscle memory to get it everytime. I've found having a bigger wing like the 7m and 8m strike CWC has helped because you can take more weight out of your feet giving yourself more forgiveness when you switch.
Great stuff Lachie. Thanks for taking the time to share.
No worries! 🙂
Awesome, thank you, I’m going to try the foot straps!
That's great! Thanks for watching 😀
Great video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Great video. Cheers mate! Dan from Newcastle.
Very nice tutorial , Thks for sharing
Excellent video. I am going to work on it now.
Thank you for the tips... I will push my foil like half inch tomorrow and try it... 😁😉
Let me know how it goes! 🙂
Nice video! I have to try moving foil forward and adding front foot straps.
Let me know how it goes 🙂
Gonna try these!! Thanks 👍
Hope it helps! 🙂
Amazing edit
Thank you 🙂
@@LachieWhite your welcome! I know how much time must have spend on this perfect looking video!
I've been putting my focus into hydrofoil designs. I nailed that but after a year and a half of not foil gybing, I'm shocked I never thought of using wing lift for foot switching. Think I had a mental block on it, thinking about the wing being depowered during the gybing process.
Lots of moving factors with wing foiling. Hope it is the missing piece that makes the foil gybe happen!
Hi mate. I’m over here In Adelaide and been winging over here for almost two years coming from Windsurfing. Can you give me a few comments / pointers how you go from seated to kneeling on the board. Looks super efficient. Cheers Mick
Hey mate! It's a tricky one and requires a decent amount of hip mobility but is a super stable way to get to your knees. Tricks I use are using the pressure of the wing to take my bodyweight as much as possible - so hold it overhead and sheet in/pump. You want to start straddling the board, then as you pump the wing overhead, you roll the board to your favoured knee first - sinking the rail/rolling the board to one side will lower how high your knee has to get onto the board. Once you have one knee up, you can do the same for the other side; sink the rail and try to get your knee high enough to get onto the board. As I said, it's mostly hip mobility so might require some mobility training to unlock!
@@LachieWhite thanks mate, appreciate you taking the time to answer.
Great video, thank you. What foil are you using in this video? The wind looks light and you're boosting! I'm just over 90kg and finding my 1480 F-One Phantom needs over 20 knots to get going. Been wing foiling for about 6 months so not sure if it's just me or i should get a big Gravity foil for those light wind days...?
Thanks mate! I was riding the phantom 840 in this video at about 80kg from memory. There are a few things that will influence the wind range you can ride your foil in. First would be board volume/board type, easier to get a non-sinking board to take off speed in lower winds. Also easier to get the newer style, narrow downwind sup boards up to take off speeds due to the efficient hull shape. Next would be wind conditions, are you at a place with consistent breeze or are you at a place where the gusts are short and sharp. Short and sharp will make it harder to take off because you won’t have the prolonged power in your wing to get up to take off speed easily. Final thing is pumping technique, look for videos of sup foilers pumping onto foil, you’ll see the back foot leaves the board at times and they are very efficient at pumping, this will get your foil going in much lower winds. The 1480 is a great foil and I have a mate that learn to foil at a similar weight on it. I’d consider a bigger wing before a bigger foil. I’m closer to 90kg now and ride a 7m CWC wing in 8-16 knots and a 5.5m from 16-25 knots
@@LachieWhite wow, thanks for such a quick detailed reply! Yeah, I'm on a 110L Naish Hover board and using a Cabrinha 6m Crosswing. So it's probably about continuing to practice the pumping technique. I'm lucky to be living on Lord Howe Island and am the only one wing foiling here so loving all the instructional videos online!
No worries, just happened to be on my phone when the notification came through, haha. Must be a beautiful spot to explore!
Thank you for posting! Will definitely try the footstraps. I also heard it's easier to switch while your on the upward pump/lift, have you found this to make a difference?
Great to hear, thanks for the comment! Doing the switch on the upwards lift is great for learning but just note that you will slow down when scooping the board up so don't try to scoop the board up and switch feet without speed 👍the end goal is to get fast at switching feet so that the pitch of the board does not change at all
Thanks for sharing this. New insights for me that give me a new boost to pick it up again.
I have another question not related to the switching the feet but what you do in the beginning of the video. Getting from rodeo position to kneeling position. What is the trick to do that so smoothly? Thanks Bart
Great to hear! Trick is lots of mobility - you can compensate a bit using the wing above your head and doing a quick bounce to create a bit of momentum. Definitely not a start that works for everyone but practice may help
I hoped it would be a trick, mobility will be hard ;-)
@@bart-heinmolenkamp9267 yes, unfortunately no magic trick
I hate riding toe side. I feel so uncomfortable and wobbly. I think a big key is practicing toe side and being comfortable going a few hundred yards. After a gybe, I rush into switching feet using the touch down method because I'm so afraid of wiping out with my feet switched.
Yeah, makes a lot of sense. Certainly lots of pathways to progress 🙂
