Laydown Jibe

Lay the wing down

How to lay the wing flat in a laydown jibe: Open the wing with your rear hand and simultaneously pull the front tube toward your hip with your front hand. The rear arm is stretched out and directs the trailing edge of the wing as if you wanted to point the extended strut toward the center of the curve.

After 3/4 of the jibe, flip the wing back over: grab the boom at the front with both hands and simply lift the wing. The wind will push from the other side and flip the wing over. Then just reach back with your rear hand and continue foling.
