allow me give you some tips that helped me a lot: - try to carve with the middle part of the rail instead of the back of the board. To do it put your back foot (the one you use to carve) further near the front strap to commit the side rail in the carve. this makes the turn more controllable in the chop as well it makes the turn wider as you carve with almost side of the board. - when carving bend your legs as if you wanted to reach the bottom sail with your knee - if you are lowered in a way you see the boom at eye level you are probably ok. - slip your back arm far further in the boom. this also helps to control the chopping. - after the foot change move your weight to the front to keep the balance (specially if you lost the momentum). Put your front foot near the mast. - keep the sail in clue first for 2 seconds before sail flip. Train hard in non planning conditions to know how your board carves and jibes (this is a good way to enjoy days with light winds) and to gain muscle memory with all steps of the jibe.
I feel your pain. After watching your videos I've started copying your expletives. Which puts a smile on my face, and encouragesme to keep trying. Keep them coming. Hope the power gybe happens soon
Some tips: -For preparation; important tip is slide your back hand way back, even more back when overpowered. This way you will control the power mid jibe and keep your speed more longer. -For carving; most important tip is turn your head and look inside the turn, through monofilm till mid point, more towards clew before sail flip, keep looking at where you will be about 2 seconds later until you finish the gybe completely, don't look anywhere else like boom or board. -let your upper body twist (but keep your head turning) in order to let the clew open slowly as you carve, especially towards the exit. - another very important tip for carving is to bend your knees a lot and get low, this helps in many ways. -For foot switch; practice on land on your board, be smooth but quick, don't look at your feet before or while switching. Switch feet a little after mid point, about at 120 degrees. -For sail flip; although this is not the correct way, it may help you at the beginning. At preparation, olso move your front hand forward closer to mast, this way there is one less thing (sliding your front hand close to mast while flipping sail) to think about. Flip right after foot switch.
Some tips. 1. Biggest tip is. Lean more towards the front. You lean to much on the back. Doing that you loose alot of speed. Front foot pressure 2. You stand to much right up. 3. Backhand more to the back. 4. Tuck in your sail when go in to the jibe. You want to hold power in your sail do not let go of your back hand to quick. What you where doing on this video. 5. Go in with alot of speed. And jibing with shoes is shit. Good luck with your progression. Cheers from the netherlands. Hoekipa dijk in Lelystad. ( really goed place for windsurfing/foiling). 5.
1. carving smaller boards is easier , 100-110l 65cm wide will be perfect 2. watch Dashers 12 steps to jybe and after each session watch it and compare with what you shoot on your video and make a plan for the next session For now you should pay your attention only on initiating faze: - bear away - back hand goes back, front also a little bit back - lean back and down ( close the sale ) - unhook gently , remove back foot gently( put it on a little bit futher from the center line to the other side of the board) , try to preserve position ( back and closed sail ), sail in this position 2-3 second more with preserving speed - do not stand vertical, overshit the sail ( extend front hand , bend back hand) - the sail will pull you to vertical position automatically ( do not afraid, it'll not pull you further to the other side ) - if you did everything correctly you will find yourself in vertical position with completely closed sail without power in it - after you can try complete the jibe without speed ( like you normally do in baby jibe) in the begging of learning you should not be overpowered, otherwise it'll much harder to close/overshit the sail. after you build confidence and nail this initiating faze you can be a little bit overpowered to make it easier to complete the jibe on plane if you want you can start using this plan and i'll point on your mistakes under next videos good luck
It may be counter intuitive but I am pretty sure you should move your back hand much further back when preparing the jibe! This way you have better leverage to keep the sail sheeted in. As a result you don't get pulled over. You can support this by also moving your front hand back until it touches the harness lines. What you tried was the opposite: opening the sail even earlier 😇
Great video. I’m at the same stage, trying to stay onboard through a power gybe. Try sheeting in more with the back hand to avoid getting pulled in, and then as you say, switch feet and hands quickly. Good luck!
Haha, I was trying to do the same shit yesterday at Heidkate. Way too gusty and choppy to train anything. In the afternoon overpowered with my 6.2train on top. A very used day for me. Vielleicht bekomme ich ja irgendwann den ultimativen Tipp von Dir, damit’s auch mit der Powerhalse klappt…😉
Sorry Till, Du hast Dir zwar einen Plan zurecht gelegt, was Du tun wolltest, hattest aber keinen Plan, wie Du es tun sollst. Bis auf ein Mal hast Du die Gabel nicht weiter hinten angefasst. Du fährst zu offen in die Halse rein, anstatt dicht zu lassen. Dann leider nicht zu sehen, aber zu vermuten. Du musst auch mehr in die Knie, um die Wellen zu federn, mehr Gewicht auf den Mastfuß, und beim shiften den Mast am Körper halten. Aber Du bist eben nicht der einzige, der an dem wohl schwersten Manöver beim windsurfen verzweifelt. 😇😂
Hey! Very entertaining thank you 😊 Try to focus less on the foot straps. In fact you can keep your foot there for now till the end of the jibe (for this the freestyle board would be better if your fin is long enough not to get into spin outs). Instead try focusing on keeping the speed throughout the turn, keeping the sail sheeted in(!!!) and curving with your head and body into the turn while going down on your knees to lower the center of gravity. Also try riding in an S shape going smoothly downwind and then upwind again without loosing speed as an additional exercise to get familiar with holding the speed when going downwind with the sail sheeted in. Sorry for the unsolicited advice, but it might be helpful, since you are so close and have very good attitude towards learning. Keep on riding!!!
Du musst breiter, weiter hinten am Gabelbaum greifen und das Segel viel länger dicht halten um den Speed beizubehalten und nicht mit dem Shothorn das Wasser zu streifen.

Thanks for all these tipps. I'll try to do it better nect time! 🤙

We just gotta keep practicing! ;D

2. watch Dashers 12 steps to jybe and after each session watch it and compare with what you shoot on your video and make a plan for the next session
For now you should pay your attention only on initiating faze:
- bear away
- back hand goes back, front also a little bit back
- lean back and down ( close the sale )
- unhook gently , remove back foot gently( put it on a little bit futher from the center line to the other side of the board) , try to preserve position ( back and closed sail ), sail in this position 2-3 second more with preserving speed
- do not stand vertical, overshit the sail ( extend front hand , bend back hand)
- the sail will pull you to vertical position automatically ( do not afraid, it'll not pull you further to the other side )
- if you did everything correctly you will find yourself in vertical position with completely closed sail without power in it
- after you can try complete the jibe without speed ( like you normally do in baby jibe)
in the begging of learning you should not be overpowered, otherwise it'll much harder to close/overshit the sail. after you build confidence and nail this initiating faze you can be a little bit overpowered to make it easier to complete the jibe on plane

Thank you so much for putting so much effort into your comment. I'll try to do all these steps next time. It's a lot though 😅

Du schaffst das schon irgendwann, wir drücken die Daumen. Gruß aus Flensburg 🌞🔥
Dankeeeeee! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Irgendwann finde ich den heiligen Gral der Power Jibe Tipps!!!!! Daraus könnte man dann bestimmt ein Video machen... 😅
so funny!
try it with no neoprene shoes those things are so hard to surf in!
I should to try that!
Sorry Till,
Du hast Dir zwar einen Plan zurecht gelegt, was Du tun wolltest, hattest aber keinen Plan, wie Du es tun sollst.

Die Verzweiflung ist nah! 😅 Vielen Dank für die Tipps!
Fully sheet in the sail!

Danke für den Tipp!
Falls du mal bei Wind in Mardorf am Steinhuder Meer bist. Sag Bescheid, dann gibts nen kleines Coaching ;)
Ich kann nicht versprechen, dass ich dort demnächst mal auftauche. Ich sage in dem Fall aber auf jeden Fall Bescheid 😅
Wie heißt der Spot wo du bist?
Das ist Grönwohld. Das liegt bei Schwedeneck in Schleswig-Holstein.
