I took this clinic. The most helpful thing Andy taught me was to lean into the turn like you do when you ride a bike. You want to keep your weight on the inside of the jibe throughout. He also said to look forward to where you want to go. That's also what you do when you ride a bike. I was tending to look at the rig or even at my feet.
This was SO helpful to me. I’ve tried to get to an ABK but things always got in the way. I’m going to double my efforts now. Thank you Andy! ( And the videographer and F&I !)
Quite interesting ideas on how an expert would go about the foiling gybe but I got success trying like the Sam Ross youtube video, "How to gybe - windfoiling" which seems simpler ..on entering lean the mast to the outside of the turn and push your backhand forward to make the sail like clew first as you continue to move the mast back. Seems less hazardous, the worst that happens is you drop off foil clew first due to not enough power. There is a video out there of Robby Naish windfoiling clew first on purpose with Kevin Langeree kite foiling alongside.
