what changed...more weight forward as going through the jibe; Kite higher as entering the jibe and bring kite down for power when exiting

I bought the Hydrofoiling series, it really helped alot :)

Thanks Jon. Glad you found them helpful. More foiling vids are coming soon, ready for the next stages...

What wind velocity do you recommend to learn to kitefoil? Same as kiteboarding? 15 knots? thanks.

Hi there, thank you for this great video / advice. We have met at Langebaan just before the lock down, you are flying F one kites and we had a nice long chat on the parking lot. My question is: I am learning kite foiling, just started going on the ocean now and riding waves. How do you turn nicely in them, do you use body weight, moving your center of gravity around, or is it your back foot that is doing most of the work... You seemed to move around with your board so easily like it was a skateboard with very loose trucks. : ) How do you do it ? Thanks a lot for feedback. Best, Vincent

Hey. I chatted with a lot of people in the Langebaan car park, so that doesn't narrow it very much ;-) Carving is actually down to your front foot not your back. You don't carve like a surfboard or twintip by leaning into the turn and using the edge of the board. You load up weight on your front leg and then use the board yaw and lift to drive the nose of the board around (there is some weight on your toes and your back foot has a role to play but focus on that front foot as it is the key). Start carving off the foil so you have a bit more control and can overload your front foot and then as you get more confident and are happier coming out on your toeside, you can start to trying carving on the foil and work out that balance. Not sure if we be able to make it out to SA this session but if we do, see you Langebaan again :-D

@@progressionsports Hi, a lady got a car key stuck in her car that day and we helped her open her window in a violent way. It was me and Eric, a guy with a huge beard. : ). Maybe now that rings a bell. That's awesome and makes perfect sense. The foil makes the board, turn, it needs weight at the front as that's where the leading edge of the foil is, it makes perfect sense, you have to think for the foil, not the board. I foiled in Muizenberg last week, it was awesome, nice waves as well so now I have got plenty to try ! Thanks a mil. Vince

Going to slow not doing the weight transfer properly and not going upwind enough.

Find out if you got it right in the the answers video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hJ-pzI-tc8zVY7A.html

1) Kite further up in the air, towards the 1-2 hour mark... 2) Weight further forwards not off the back foot... Certain about 1... uncertain about 2... BTW... is the guy in the vid a barber friend?, as it appears that you won the race by taking a short cut! :)

Getting in there early Charlie and with some good answers, we'll find out tomorrow if you are right... And the scalping was by my own hand!

As Johnny Heineken has said before, foil gibing is all about speed. This guy needs more speed to pull it off.

He's right when you are riding race or performance wings but Andrew is on a wing that you can ride really slow and steady so through relatively important it's not his issue here (you can go really slow around the corners on this foil and stay foiling easily).

it hurts watching someone foil at such slow speeds

I like what you do with your videos in general but having to watch 4 minutes of the video waiting for the "magical" two tricks AND then being told to guess them myself is just enoying. Pls. don´t continue that concept. THX

Hey Kristoffer, thanks for the feedback. Just trying some other ideas out, we'll see how it's received. My standard videos will continue as normal but I do want to try and get people to think more about theirs and others riding, trying to work out mistakes for themselves. The two changes that worked for Andrew are far from magical but they had a huge impact on his riding that day but for someone else, they might be irrelevant and it will be two very different tweaks that will be needed. Bear with me, as I play around with some ideas and try to find new ways to keep you all excited about learning.

You can watch the second part and get the answers - the link is in the description. This video was original made to try and get people to spot the mistake themselves rather than just get told it by me. I split it over the two videos so people couldn't cheat ;-) I could have just made it one 10 minute videos I suppose but was trying something new. Anyway the other half is there if you want it.
