About this trick

The Heineken Jibe is a creative jibe variation developed and named by Damien LeRoy. It puts a distinctive spin on the standard foil jibe using a unique body and arm position that makes it visually elegant. Like all named jibe variants, it builds on solid foil jibe technique — once you've got your regular jibe dialled in, adding the Heineken styling is a natural next step.

Key tips

  1. 1

    Study Damien's video carefully first — the distinctive arm motion is what makes this trick what it is

  2. 2

    Your foil technique stays the same as a regular jibe; it's the upper body and wing position that change

  3. 3

    Practice the arm movement dry on the beach until it feels natural before attempting on water

  4. 4

    Enter with comfortable jibe speed — you need time to execute the styling, so don't rush the entry
