Switch Air Jibe

Switch stance jumped with change of riding direction

The switch air jibe is a switch stance jump with change of riding direction. The approach is switch (toeside), during the jump the board is turned 180 degrees in the air so that you land fakie (backwards). You jump with the tail through the wind (nose to leeward).

After the touchdown, you stand on the board the right way up again. The wing is turned and you continue in the other direction. This tutorial shows you the switch air jibe broken down into the individual parts of the jump.
