The slow-mo is so meditating. Great tutorial, cannot await to be on the water again!

Your audio commentary is invaluable because you explain what I cannot see e.g pressure going onto the balls of your feet, the front hand grip changing to an underhand grip, the slight shift of the back foot forward prior to the turn to maintain front foot pressure …and so much more. Then your slowmo video makes so much sense. Thanks so much for sharing your technique

thanks, if it gets just one more person over the hurdle of jibing then it was worth making 😃

Axis BSC 970 has an area of 1500. Ultrashort fuse is 620 long. Most recommend longer fuses, say 700. "Fert" is estuary for foot. :)

I like the beginning where you say that for a beginner it is difficult to jibe ! So many videos profess the contrary and then breed a sense of inferiority. Moreover your tuto is very professional, with no ridiculing or pretentious humour as seen too often elsewhere. Some tips are very helpful like the backfoot adjustment at the turn entry and the pivoting of the wing to help reach the rear handle more easily. I also like how you differentiate the light wind case from a medium one. For beginners, please prepare videos on foot switching tips and riding upwind toe side without ending headwind ! Cheers

Thanks for the feedback. I will be doing a foot switch video but I want to do it barefoot - so it is much easier to see the movements. It will 2-3 months before the water gets warm enough for me to do that.

Thank you very much for these very helpful videos. How about a Tutorial about the technique of pumping the board und the wing to takeoff in lightwind? 😊 Greetings from Switzerland

@Wing-Tips 22 күн бұрын

I have thought about this but the technique does vary quite a bit depending on the wing, foil and board used, so it's not that easy to cover it, I need to think about it a bit and see if I can add anything useful to the process.

Good stuff. Just a bit of feedback when you insert the text with quick tips it is positioned where the video progression bar is so if I pause to read the text it is covered by the bar.

I'm not sure what device you are watching on but video progression bars should be hidden if you are not interacting with the video (ie the mouse pointer is off the screen) or you aren't touching your screen.

@Wing-Tips 7 ай бұрын

it's on my list, we are winter time in the UK now, so finding nice days to film is getting much more difficult. Right now we are being hit with 50kt storms, which don't deliver the kind of sea states we need for useful tuition, so content creation is going to slow down a bit until we get some more tuition friendly sea and winds.

@danieldiniz1272 3 ай бұрын

I have some difficulty with switching my hand from palm down to palm up. On lighter wind days this isn't as much of a problem, but when the wind is blasting, I feel I can't really let go of the wing to switch my hand, or risk having the wing blown out of my hands by the sheer strenght of the wind. Is this absolutely necessary? Or can I also rotate the wing without rotating my front hand?

@Wing-Tips 3 ай бұрын

you can rotate the wing without changing the front hand grip but it is both awkward and less effective. To change your front grip you have multiple options - one is to use a harness and hook into the harness to make the change. You can also turn downwind so the wing goes light and off the power and then swap your front hand. You can also let go of the back hand and move it up next to your front hand, swap your grip and then move your hand back to the rear handle.

@patrickcarmans9830 5 ай бұрын

Nice tips! Great slow motion. One question, can you give some advice concerning switching palm down to to palm up? Can this be done in one movement without losing contact of the wing?

@Wing-Tips 5 ай бұрын

Very good question.. I plan to do a short video on this as there are a couple of ways to do this, so stay tuned for that.

When gybing, how large of an arc should we be going through? I am able to turn through a gybe and then completely stall out on the other side, so I think my arc may be too tight. I think my friends are turning a larger 1/2 circle than I am. It is hard to know what you are doing when sailing.

@Wing-Tips 2 ай бұрын

you can gybe a large or small arc, assuming your foil has some glide to it and isn;t a very low aspect foil that slows down very quickly when you depower the wing. Most issues with stalling out are due to not getting the foil angle correct during and after the wing transition (ie. flying the foil up towards the surface and losing speed and then stalling as a result). My toe-side tutorial talks about ways to combat this problem.

Great tips. Intuitively, I've been sailing with my right hand palm up and left hand palm down. To avoid palm switching before jibes, I'm now sailing with both hands palm up 100% of the time. What is the downside of it?

@Wing-Tips 8 ай бұрын

probably going to make jibes like a heineken or tacks a little more difficult - although it would help with a race jibe - also if you catch a wing tip it's more difficult to recover as the recovery is to punch downwards with the back hand where as palm up you kind of have to pull downwards - which is going to be much less intuitive.

@robtangent4664 8 ай бұрын

@@Wing-Tips Yeah, I can see your points. Fortunately, I live in a higher wind area; my everyday wing is a 3.5m and my quiver ranges from 2.5m to 5.m. With smaller wings, the chances of wing tip catching water is low. Also, at 71, I'm just happy mowing the lawn all day long. Johnny Heineken jibes or tacks are not in my mind. 😊

@Wing-Tips 8 ай бұрын

@@robtangent4664 if you are just mowing the lawn and doing ordinary jibes then I don't see any downside other than it can be less fatiguing to switch grip on longer sessions - just to change the muscle groups being used..
