How to do the Heineken Jibe | Wing Foil

[@mmacrobert]

You managed to explain live, while repositioning the camera, while doing a racing jibe... Really next level tuition! There's no-one else doing this. Awesome!

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

Thank you!

[@herve_jeanne]

I love the way this is filmed (the camera angle). It is much more helpful than videos taken from a fixed point.

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

Thank you!

[@mikhailreyzin6476]

Perfectly explained. Thanks so much

[@jamesmckenzie4572]

You're quite graceful on the big wing. It's been interesting to watch your progress since you started here. You're a quick learner with a smooth style and a great accent. Thanks.

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

Incredible right! Gwen is so awesome!

[@irf888]

Hi. Very good video. My tips and hope it helps. Have good speed downwind before swinging the wing overhead, hopefully near matching wind speed. Any tightness in shoulder work against you - so stretch before the session. Palm down front hand grip. And lastly, keep carving the board simultaneously as you swing wing overheard otherwise you'll feel back wind if so then push leading edge away from you with the spare hand (and keep carving). It's twice as hard in strong overpowered winds, so learn it in light and moderate winds. Best.

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

Thank you!

[@ajm2193]

Awesome I will have to practice, very smooth

[@StuartFox94104]

I'm here on the couch with a Heineken but can't follow the rest of the instructions... Great video, I'll go out on the water tomorrow and make a real attempt.

[@cyberfastfred]

It seems so smooth and easy when you do it.

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

Practice is everything!

[@joelxovoz6474]

explications parfaites 🙏🤙

[@falcaokitesurfingoficial4108]

Wohooo! Sensacional suas dicas, obrigado ! Estou evoluindo, já consigo executar essa manobra no Sk8 andando com wing, agora é ir para água e tentar lá! Obrigado!!

[@christoph4333]

smooth !!! thank you

[@floridafoilers]

Another excellent demo of a cool jibe maneuver 🙌👏 I’m a huge fan of that Cabrinha 1240 Mk-II foil as it’s my “daily driver” regardless of the wind conditions.

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

We love it as well! Thank you!

[@sabfoil]

Great and helpful content guys 👏👏👏

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

Glad we could help!

[@StandUpMagazin]

Perfect thanks been waiting for a video that show this jibe starting from toe side.

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

Thank you!

[@AlexMcfly3000]

Tennis. That’s a good way to get it visualized in your mind a bit. At least from the middle part of the action you can think of it as doing a very strong „forehand“ strike of your racket towards the ball. Starting with the racket almost over your head and then pulling that racket down and forward around your body … Maybe that helps 😊

[@leapnlarry]

What do you guys use for audio when doing videos like this, this is so good its obviously not insta 360 or GoPro on camera audio, thanks larry

[@irf888]

Hi. As mentioned in another post great video. Advice on camera please and hope you don't mind me asking, can you let me know all the camera equipment you used in this video including how it was mounted to your waist please? I'd love to explore that setup. Thanks.

[@wagsurf]

It really helps knowing the equipment you are riding, I saw some folks struggling to get on foil as you flew by them. Besides being gusty what was the wind doing? in km or miles? thank you for another outstanding instructional video.

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

About 12-15 mph. Thank you!

[@ricopo3522]

Overhand grip on the front hand. 🤙

[@strekke1986]

Always amazed how easy you seem to get going / up on foil. Any videos or tips on how to get going in big chop on a high aspect foil that requires speed to take off?

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

Noted and will keep it in mind for future videos. Thank you.

[@greg.ocallaghan]

that kalama board for sure helps: long and skinny

[@Sportalcentro]

Quality top as always and impressive skills…congratulation! The audio of this video was very good…which mic do you use? Thanks

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

Thank you!

[@Sportalcentro]

@@DamienLeroyKZbin you deserve it! Which mic do you use? Your audio is awesome!🤙

[@jotabello3857]

Wow! Nice one! I'm trying here at Ceará, BR but my wing is turning to fast, even while in going downwind. Maybe the wind conditions are not favorable for this kind of transition...? I managed to close some ones but definitely it doesn't look smooth! 😅 Tks for the videos, bro!

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

keep at it you will get it!

[@BatuhanYumrukaya]

Hi, I'm a verrry beginner.. May I ask why did you prefer 95L ? and for beginners do you suggest board without straps ? thanks a lot..

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

The more volume you have when you are first learning really helps for stability and learning how to fly the wing. Then as you get better you can go smaller as you are very efficient with the wing. You can learn without straps in the beginning. Some use one in the front but I would say its personal preference. Most learn without. We hope this helps.

[@BatuhanYumrukaya]

Very helpful message, thanks a lot@@DamienLeroyKZbin

We are grateful to help! @@BatuhanYumrukaya

[@seagullnz]

When I try this I usually end up with the wing upside down, any tips for correcting this?

[@JesseALwood]

Rate my first setup. Armstrong XPS 5.3. Naish Hover Carbon 85 with Slingshot Infinity 76, 90cm mast. I used to surf and kite (10 y ago), And I wakeboard and cable park a few times a year

[@robadair]

First thing to upgrade is your foil. There are lots of very good foils out now, the early Slingshots are old tech.

[@stkl23]

@@robadair Ancient tech - forged in old Valyria before the doom :-)

[@JesseALwood]

@@robadairis there one that's like a step or two better than training wheels, that's maybe also compatible with the switch fuselage? I'm 155 lbs btw. The wing still hasn't come in. I've yet to do anything on the water with this gear.

[@Olegisrael1234]

In a strong wind it will be difficult to do ?

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

100% it is harder.

[@kountchev1]

hi there! i've been trying them for some sessions, but what inevitably happens is that at the 3rd part of the turn the wing turns upside down..... am i too slow? for this to happen one "needs" do get backwinded or am I wrong?

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

More speed will help for sure!

[@claykarmel7720]

My wing invariably 'inverts' on my Heineken attempts. I carve down, bring the wing vertical, then lift over/behind my head. As I bring the wing forward, it's upside down. I suspect my rear hand is doing something wrong, or should be doing something right. Not sure yet. Maybe I'm not going fast enough? Maybe not sufficiently turned through the wind? Ideas?

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

Hard to tell without seeing it, maybe the timing is off

[@eric3969]

What lake in Idaho is this?

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

Lake Pend Oreille

[@IRWE905]

Would be nice for Beginners watching to add little arrows to show Wind Direction throughout transition (especially for light wind sessions) Great POV!

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

Will keep it in mind for the future videos! Thank you!

[@Harold-i7j]

Tu es français ?

[@jotabello3857]

Ah I'm using a 2,9m NOVA

[@Eric-do9jq]

Downloop should be the name.

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

Would make sense for sure!

[@jeffbeall9590]

I believe that the Heineken gybe requires the foot switch at the end to be complete. Warch his videos and it is always connected to the switch, one move.
