Tips Footwork / Switch feet:
If you are overpowered (like in this video) you switch your feet simultaneous to the rig flip on downwind.
In normal or low wind conditions it is better to switch the feet later and surf a short moment in clew first position before flipping the rig, to get more stability.
How switch feet:
To initiate the Jibe you put the back foot in front of the back strap on the leeward side of the board. Look for a wide stance, feet prallel to bent both knees in the same way/direction.
As you come to downwind open the sail and continue looking out of the turn. With weight on the back foot your front foot switches across the board and then the back foot can step forward between mast and front strap. Keep the weight over the new back foot, carving through the heels and pause in the clew first position or flip the rig simultaneously. Practice switching feet at the beach.
