It is well known that a Duck-tack is substantially more difficult to perform on a Windsurfer than on a standard sailing craft as you are standing upon the board and must get the rig swing motion perfectly in time with your reach under the rig to grasp the wishbone on the other side. The type of board and sail shape being used also determines the ease with which the tack can be performed. It was good to see it clearly in action on screen.
Max-Surf Team ok thanks. So much footage of comps doesn’t show the set up to the tricks, which is almost the hardest part. A tutorial on that would be good.

Nice, I used to duck tack years ago when I windsurfed, but is this how you get into position for the newer freestyle moves but keep feet in straps?
To get in the position for the new freestyle moves is a bit different. You stay on broad reach to keep planning when you switch your feet in straps.
