Turning over your wing

If your wing is upside down, don’t worry. Get in the water, or sit on your board. Rotate the wing flat in the water to put the leading edge (the bladder) into the wind (on the windward side). Beware of the leash being too short, it can be very annoying. With the leading edge in your hands, you have two solutions: 1. Flip the wing over from the center using the leading edge handles. This is usually quite complicated and should only be done with small wings.

  To use the wind, you will just lift the leading edge with one hand and hold with the other hand to leverage over the tip. The wind will catch under the wing and turn it over effortlessly. If you have to force the wing, your orientation to the wind is imperfect. Finally, move your hands towards the center of the wing until you catch the center grip of the leading edge and climb onto your board and prepare to waterstart.   Key points: 
  • Proper orientation of the wing.
  • Do not let it drift too long (react quickly).
  • Do not force the wing: use the wind.
