So my 12th foiling session (approx) and I worked on gybes... a lot!


"The face of concentration"! Video below.

Here are a few tips:
Keep board angle modest, < 20 degrees carve angle
Especially during/after sail flip... less is best
Don't worry about hitting the deck. Best to plane out of the gybe and foil after, rather than foil too high all the way around with less control. The board is still moving fast, and the foil providing lift while deep, so easy to relaunch after sail flip and feet in new straps... ie. safe option!
Don't go too fast... I had trouble controlling my gybes if downwind speed was too high
Balance inboard body weight with outboard sail during rotation.
