The “Oh S___!” Jibe - Behind the back jibe / gybe - Wingfoiling tutorial

Todays topic is what I like to refer to as the “Oh S___!” jibe /gybe. This tutorial shows you another technique for jibing off the wave when you’re going too fast for a regular jibe. Hope you practice this next time you’re on the water and it can maybe save you next time you’re in big waves. #wingfoil #tutorial #gybe

Manzi bro, that's how we roll. Exit early and stick your move.

I have a habit of dropping in too deep and staying in too long. Greedy!

This works really well since I’m backside at Topanga. One of the better ways to get off the wave. Passing the luff handle behind your back is pretty easy too. Agreed on the waist leash making this easier.

That AFS wing is incredibly stable when flagged out. In comparison, my Duotone Slick SLSs are all over the place. I am sure that Duotone could make a more stable wing if they wanted to so, presumably, that is a design choice by Duotone. I wonder what the AFS is giving up to achieve that stability ......

I haven’t played with it enough yet to say, but I did notice the Wilf lacks low end. I don’t think that’s due to stability. The trade off I’ve seen in other wings is the more stable the wing the less easy it is to tack and do freestyle tricks. The Duotones are super easy to tack and flip around. If I was going to buy an AFS wing I would probably get the Diamond or be looking to their new boom wing.
