What you will learn
- Riding stances: you can ride at different angles with regards to the wind, from upwind (against the wind) to sidewind (same direction as the wind): this way you will be truly free to head in any direction at any time.
- Improve your upwind riding: riding close to the wind is essential in all sailing sports and knowing how to do it well even in light-wind conditions makes us safe riders.
- Jump technique: a good jump encompasses a wide range of skills from being able to take off in perfect balance to softly landing while at the same time keeping your speed under control.
- Rotations: when you are airborne during a jump you can initiate a 360 degrees rotation backwards (back-roll) or forwards (front-roll).
- Toeside stance: drive off the back foot, banking the board over onto the toe side rail and commit your body weight upwind of the board. Ride by applying weight on your back leg and letting your toes push on the upwind rail of the board to cut through the water.
- Jibe: (directional board) change direction by performing a semicircular downwind turn keeping the board gliding on its edge.
- Downloop: make a half loop for a little extra power in light wind or to add variety to your transitions.
