Air Jibe

The jumped jibe

Lina Schmied shows the air jibe. This move is also a change of riding direction and can be performed over the smallest chop on flat water - or generate the wave for the jump directly by unloading and loading the board (high-low-high movement).

Lina lifts the tail briefly during the chop hop, the nose provides further turning momentum when touching the water after jumping 45°. Important: Lift the heelside rail so that the bottom of the board can slide over the water. You can see the movement in slow motion here.
