The Windfoiling Series continues from Cookie & the Ride-Along sessions. The craze is taking over the windsurfing world and this video covers how stay on the foil all the way around a gybe.
There are other videos done on foiling that'll be really useful too...

Key points summarised through this video...
- Back foot out upwind, stabilise before bearing away.
- Use "creepy back foot" movements to set the height on the foil- aim lower than usual.
- Rig moves consistently to the outside of the turn and around.
- Foot change- unique for a foil gybe, straight into the front strap before the rig flip. "Step gybe" style is prefered generally.
- Rig flip is slow and calm- much like the”Disco gybe” exit.

As usual the Ride-Along session is brought through a combination of live on-board cameras and microphones, as well as some pre-recorded demos to add some clarification.
