GREAT video. Do you two have any tips on how to water-start directly into toeside?

Thank you Simon:)

Thanks C & K. I've found the extra detail that you give (compared with other Wingfoil How To videos) really helpful. Looking forward to more, especially on the foot switch while gybing!

Thank you Philip, we're glad they help and appreciate the feedback:) We'll cover learning the foot switch soon....

Nice pedagogy ! When I enter a jibe heel side and go out of it toe side, I succeed to go on riding broad reach toe side but when I want to move upwind the foil doesn't stop going upwind, I just cannot prevent it ! I end up at best flat on the water and use this to switch feet, otherwise in the water again ! That happens at sea with waves, with either a f one 1290 eagle or a f one 950 skate depending on the wind strength, two foils around 10 AR. There must a big mistake I make but I don't feel it. Would you have a guess ?

Hey Gillou. Make sure you straighten out after turning upwind. Point your wing forward and extend your front arm towards the nose of the board. This should stop the board and foil turning and keep you upright over the board. Hope it helps:)

[@Gilloup]

Thank you for helping. When I am out of the jibe and ride toe side I do what you write and I am broad reach. That's when I want to go more upwind while still toe side that I am taken too much upwind and cannot correct the trajectory of the foil, as if it has too much inertia, and I end up head to wind. I believe I follow the instructions for going upwind while toe side but I must screw up one.

@@Gilloup OK understood. Sounds like you have to much weight back or are too far back on the board. If holding your wing forward doesn't help compensate for this, you'll need to change your stance. Before gybing you can either move both feet forward a little bit, or just move your back foot forward and across a touch more. This should put you in a better toe side stance:)
