Wing Drift Jibe - switch stance

Jibe with flagged wing

A jibe that is initiated with a flagged wing is often performed in waves — either when jibing into an oncoming wave or to get back out after riding a wave.

You can also practice this move on flat water: flag the wing on a slight downwind course, pump, and then jibe — shown here as a switch stance variation.
