A tack is a change in the riding direction. In normal stance (wind from your back, heels on the windward side) a tack is also called heel to toe tack or heelside to toeside tack. In a tack you go upwind and start a 180 degree turn. It’s a turn around your back, you have to lift the wing over your head to the other side and keep flying on the foil.
Here you can find videos and tutorials demonstrating how to foil a tack:
