Switch Stance Heineken Jibe

Pull the wing to windward when riding downwind

The heineken jibe in the switch stance version (toeside). In this jibe, the wing is guided with one hand using the front hand. The other hand only grabs again when you foil from the downwind course into the new direction of travel (the grip change also happens at this time).
