Tips

Practice switch stance sailing to gain confidence before attempting this move.
Try to use the wave like a snow bank in snow. Your body should feel like the carving on a snowboard.

Duck the sail instead of rotation.
Jump off the back of the wave for a jump jibe.
Jump off the back of the wave for a Vlcan.
Perform the air tack by jumping into the wind like a back loop and rotating the sail mid air.
