I find it’s also helpful to keep my head up and eyes focused on almost the end of the turn. Nailed my first foiling jibes yesterday! Thanks for the pointers!

This my be my favorite of your videos. Succinct, to the point, and full of great information. I'm not even up on foil yet but hope to before the season is out, so I'll be watching this a couple dozen more times. Thank you, NP!!

Thanks for this. I am nearly there and this video and tips definitely confirms I am on the right path and fills some gaps in my understanding. Glad you kept it simple!!

I'm finally getting my jibes in full flight. All tutorials help! Thanks for this one!

Super tutorial. Recognize all the difficulties in the foil jibe 😀. Thanks for the tips! The NP race foil looks awesome. 👍

Will try to apply this advices this afternoon. Thanks for your work Nico!!👍👍💪

Just what I needed! Thank you for another great video.

Nico vc é o cara. Esse vídeo é sensacional. Muito obrigado

OK, this is just awesome! First off, BEST FOIL JIBE TUTORIAL YET! Seriously, REALLY well done. Secondly, uncanny timing! I just came back TODAY from a windfoil session where I had some minor breakthroughs with the jibe, pertaining *precisely* to the point you bring up @2:16... Putting the back foot all the way over to the rail (on a wide board) really doesn't work well! Also, putting the NEW back foot anywhere beyond centerline is similarly problematic, as it leads to the issues you point out @5:44. I like your suggestion of a brief "heel-to-heel" for the transition (for wide boards). I had been going new-back-foot-BEHIND-old-back-foot, but I think your suggestion makes much more sense (again, for wide boards specifically). Gonna have to try that next time. Thank you Nico!! Stellar stuff. Keep it up! #MakeWindsurfingGreatAgain

I've watched this video several times and it's very helpful. Succinct and to the point! I've gotten so I can foil in a straight line pretty well. I rarely crash anymore just doing that, but jibing is another story. For quite a while I could not get through any kind of jibe without crashing and falling into the water. Based on this video and others I've modified my technique to switch my feet first, like you do, before flipping the sail and that seems to be helping. Now I can usually get through a foil jibe without crashing, but I have yet to get all the way through the jibe on the foil. I'm at a stage where the board settles on the water before I get all the way through, but that's a lot better than falling in all the time!

Excellent video, I am trying to get my foil jibing more consistent, and this really helps by breaking it down.

really nice tutorial, great edit the slow motion in high quality that explain everything already...

Well put together tutorial with all the key points there 👌 (the heel to heel part of the footwork is something I will work on next session for sure) *Please do a how-to video on carrying big race foil kit! (yes boring I know 😂) I live in an area which gets quite a bit of swell, especially if there is any onshore in the wind. The beach has a gnarly dumping shore break! Entering the water isn't too bad with the kit above your head - but getting out without scratching the foil and not having a wave break on a big heavy race sail is a MISSION! Especially when tierd after many hours on the water lol.

Great channel just learning how to so windsurf and have been looking for a windsurfing channel

I swear I have broken my toe 400 times since I’ve started foiling and gybing regularly, I seem to kick the footstrap a lot and then sometimes lose balance. It was nice to see a tutorial with a big sail that talks about back-winding. Most videos seem to be on wave sails where it’s not such a problem. The advice about getting the mast upright/leaning forward is definitely the most helpful thing for aspiring foiling racers to learn!!

Thanks! Great video

I have trouble getting my back foot out of the strap to start initiating the curve. Find I normally touch down when I remove my back foot, then lift straight up again, normally fall in trying to flip the rig still! Definitely need more practice!! Great video!!

Super helpful! Thanks:)

Nico, please make wind foil jibe video on how to do the flip sail first then switch stance to change feet, “strap to strap foil jibe”!Not with big race sails & boards but small free ride/wave sails & foil boards especially for windfoiling in ocean swells & waves. Thanks!

i love you continue like this😀

I will keep this advice for the coming summer

This will be helpful when I buy a foil in 10 years

nice description, i will try it tomorrow

Very good !

멋져요~~!!

So, I foiled through my first Jibe this season by limiting my lean and flipping the sail quickly. I was able to get right into the opposite side foot straps and foil away.

Nicer Hoddy ;) #hyped

First summer over foiling with old formula board and now I got good information how to bee better foiler

Nice tutorial! I tend too fall to the outside of the turn and some times close to the foil. So, somtimes I fall, in terror, close into the foil. I never release the boom and that may help me to avoid hitting the foil...

Foiling is fantastic

I tend to crash on the inside of the turn. Thanks for the tips. 👍

Yes, agree that more lift is better, the old np rsf4 racing foil with pink logo is really hard to gibe but I managed to fly through sailing clew first a few times when overpowered. With the np glide wind you park it in the air, super easy gibes.

awesome video! would be good to see some tips on going fast with the foil!

Jibe Wear Konkurrenz..😉 Ich freu mich drauf🤙🏽

Foil gybes are easy been doing them for over a year now so got them nailed

Really good video! is it harder to foil on the freeride boards such as the fanatic blast or whatever JP equivalent?

sagenhaft🤙🏼

«Or your just bored and dont know what to watch» *me with no foil* 😐

I've got no problem with the gybe. But how do I stay on the board? Just kidding, of course. Thanks, Nico! I'll learn it in no time now and make everybody jealous🤣🤣🤣

5 yrs ago one of those people: "Foiling? Windsurfing industry must be desperate to generate $$s"" attitude. 3yrs ago: "Hmm maybe" attitude. 2020: Purchased a '18 Horue Tiny, '19 SlingShot foil set up, dug out of storage the 2000 5.5M Naish Edge & old Chinook Aluminum boom. Days like today(8-11kt with 0.5-1m seas) would have been beached. Instead, on the water foiling with that stupid grin:). Just like the early days of windsurfing when you finally hooked in and got into the straps. Eventual next step. The foiling jibe. Thanks for the video tutorial. Beats the "good old days" of looking at static photos and reading captions in your favorite windsurfing magazine.

On the short mast, I jibe like with a normal fin, but I don’t lean very much and I keep everything more or less level. I flip the sail before the feet, so as not to disturb the foil balance. Then I switch my feet when I am going in the other direction. With the tall mast, everything seems a bit more tricky, so I am not finding as much success.

10 times on the foil, very difficult control board. Flying speed 30_35 km/h, but board go up or down. I try make control flight and jibe when wind is not stability

In my first foil gybe attempt I just stepped of the side of the board and made a huge splash.

I would like to see a tutorial like this but than for the powergybe with normale finn.

Haven't got that far yet, but as normal simple presise advice, what more do u want.

I want one

Ich habe immer das Problem das ich in Leichtwind nicht in die Schlaufen komme auf dem Foil was kann ich machen um es zu verbessern mein Board kippt dann immer

Now I now how to jibe now lets get a foil

My first foiling jybe was in very light wind and so I thought I had to step on the back of the board. Well now I see how stupid that was because when I did this my boerd just fully skyrocketed into outer space😣

When you fall keep your hands on the boom ! If you let go the sail, you fall backward with your feet still in the straps. You'll sprain your foot or worse.

🔥🤙🔥🤙🔥🤙🔥🤙

First gybe'? I taught myself to exit in switch and flew round with ease

Jibe? I’m just trying not to crash. I’ve had two catapults over the handlebars and keep having to repair the nose of my board. It’s very depressing.

My foil boards in repair

Ai go to Silver Plane

Please Nico my actual board is about to broke I need some stuff 😅 and the giveaway is a chance

I need a foil, I think...

I am definitely bored and don’t know what else to watch 😂

Hi I was wondering if I could get your advice. Specifically concerning the front hand (in step 1). - Should it be the aim be to keep the front arm as straight/extended as possible? - And therefore the rig is as outward and as most forward as possible (as you enter the gybe) ? I am trying to learn the foil jibe. It's coming slowly but inconsistent. And now I need to trouble shoot stuff! I experienced in my last session after the foot change that the rig was too close to me. Result, I stall and fall backwards. If I may be so free I include two video links of 2 sessions, if you see something worth commenting on please feel free. (5 sept vimeo.com/455729991 and 12 sept vimeo.com/457716037 ). Many thanks in advance!

Please change the “Maga” statement. We are not facists.

Couldn't resist going back to your first video, seeing as you mentioned it, and was very tempted to unsubscribe from your channel. You could do yourself a big favour by trimming the second half off and getting rid of that incredibly stupid and , to some, very offensive t shirt. Glad to see you've matured somewhat now and can understand why you're not particularly proud of them. Why on earth did you think it was a good idea to wear that in your very first step into the lucrative world of a KZfaq channel? Anyway, moan over and the stuff you produce now is worth the growing pains.
