6am start. 15-22 knot Swan River easterly.
Stoked to see 20 windfoilers and wingers flying about.

First few clips are Alan who started foiling a year ago at 70 - inspiring

Matt also nailing smooth gybes

Somehow winger Pete photobombed the hell out of me

Noticed that everyone is gybing sail-first. Is this for everything, or for foil gybes only?

I think flipping the sail first allows for better pitch control during the jibe. You don't disturb it by moving your feet around. Then, when you are on the new tack and stable, switching your feet is not so dramatic. I am trying to jibe this way.

Did you notice the wing guy making a full on-wing planing tack? Nice.

Every is ripping big time, WOW the standard is super high!

That must be Simon at the very end with that super sweet 360, clean all the way through, awesome

Great video's I learn so much more from watching others riders, you can explain to me with text all day long and it won't register but when you get to see footage you can visualize it better. Simon comes in lower on the 360 and exits with a steady height increase, and stays powered the whole way around.

A lot of clues in that video JJ. I've watched it a few times already. I noted a bit of variation in gybing foot placement. I suppose wind foilers have a tripod on the deck so there's still room for fore and aft weight shift with foot placement pretty symmetric to port and starboard. Dingers have to stick to the centreline to allow fore and aft weight shift.

Good overfoiling demo at 1.50. Hold on to the boom to keep the pointy bits at a distance

I hope everyone watched until the end that 360 was ill
