Riding Toeside

Wing foiling in switch stance

Riding toeside (with your toes pointing towards the wind) - the easiest way to get into this riding position is to jibe or tack without changing your foot position. Your feet remain in the foot straps - it's a somewhat unfamiliar feeling at first, but you can quickly get used to it.

To practise, simply place yourself on the beach in switch stance and hold the wing in the wind as if you where riding on a board. You will quickly feel how to hold the wing with twisted feet.

In this video tutorial, Stefan Spiessberger provides tips on riding switch.
