When windsurfing, you can change direction by leaning and dropping. Find out what is important and where the most common mistakes are in the surf video tutorial.

Sail control in windsurfing is made up of two parts - luffing and dropping. These two control elements are also the basis for all manoeuvres, such as tacking and jibing. The right technique is crucial to ensure that the manoeuvres work even in strong winds.

If you have any questions about steering and new manoeuvres, please use the comments function or send an email to redaktion@surf-magazin.de. We will be happy to help you!
