Progressions ultimate guide on learning to the foot switch on the foil.
There is no doubt, a flying foot change on your foil, when you get it right, feels amazing. It is also the gateway to advancing your kite skills and opens up endless possibilities to more tricks.

The Full Foiling Gybe
The Foiling Foot Change is just part of the Foiling Gybe, our upcoming collection which also includes Toeside Riding, which was released last year, and the upcoming Carving Turns video which I am working on next and will be out in the coming months. The carving turns are the hardest of the three techniques to teach through video (though not necessary to learn) because there is so much variation depending on the kite size, wind strength, and style of foil. Finding a clear concise way to teach this without losing the nuance of the many edge cases has been tricky but I finally think I have found a way through!
The new Foiling Foot change video is 25 minutes long featuring two full Progression for the Toeside to Heelside and then the Heelside to Toeside foot change. It’s available to purchase today, here on the Progression website and start streaming it immediately or head over to the Progression App on your iOS or Android devices and download it there.
