      Well, two Sessions ago I tried my first power jibes and I did not turn the sail around me while the board was turning. So, I ended up with back of the boom pointing into the wind. I stopped carving since my weight was not on the inner side of the jibe anymore and then I fell. I need to practice to move the sail around me so that I always have the wind in the back and keeping pressure in the lee rail. Next surf season will start soon and I am looking forward to it a lot.
      Your video helps a lot with the next steps that I will make afterwards, thanks a lot @nico_ger7.

      Hi nico, useful video as usual! The main issues i have are
      i) laydown, really can t (maybe because i try on a fsw?)
      ii) power jibing in choppy conditions
      iii) power jibing a wave board
      Regarding the latter, would be nice to see how to make a perfect jibe on fsw and wave boards, they look quite different than the slalom one but are the boards a lot of people uses the most
      Thanks again for the great content!

    Brilliant. Definitely pointing out my main weakness, specially the second part of the sail upright, which showed really badly when I’m on my wave boards. Freeride board with more volume tolerates much more mistakes. Let’s see if I can correct. Really well explained. Thanks a lot.

  • @skipgonsalves81
    @skipgonsalves81 Рік тому +1

    Excellent explanation Nico. Some of the places I teach at are rivers that have strong currents. The currents create big chop so in step 1 we teach sailing parallel to the chop and unhooking before turning downwind instead of sailing downwind & unhooking so students can focus on the trim of the board.
    For me the biggest challenge of the Power Jibe is timing the jibe in knee or higher chop. If I time it wrong I end up flipping the sail going up the back of a big chop and that kills my speed.

    Soooo many years since I sailed! But way back then it was ultra short boards and no buoyancy! So what I used to do was enter the gybe as fast as possible and then plane the board so that I could effectively just hold the mast (even no-hander) and let it rotate around in my hand. It just floated around into the right position ready for power on. Geez I miss doing that. Not the fastest, but uber cool! In those days you had to learn how to plane with such low volume boards.

    My Jibes really improved when I look forward to where I am going around the jibe and flip the sail without looking at it, trusting the flip and the catch. Sometimes I miss the catch which is somewhat comical but always a gentle dunking backwards 👍😁 Good comment that there is always some way to improve your jibe. Cheers

  • @xsurfer2008
    @xsurfer2008 Рік тому +1

    very interesting detail in the minute 5:28 or 5:38 , after the sail rotation the front hand makes a fast position correction to the rear in order to bring the board inmediately in planning and in down wind course, otherwise the board would almost stop and trend to have an up wind course, this is basic in down wind slalom races. Nico makes it so easy and in the perfect timing. Myseilf i do slalom races as amateur and although i know the theory , for me the practice/reality doesn´t always flow so well. I will keep trying !

    You nailed it again Nico. Basically with 2 much weight too far back and consequently shifting the sail with the mast pointing too much back adresses >80% of the issue. On top tip apart from where to position your legs is: Bend your legs much more, than what you think you are doing already, to level the board and keep control. Standig upright during the Jibe like a German tin soldier isn't doing any good. Cheers and keep it up.

    I don't think I've ever done a jibe in my entire windsurfing life that's as good as any of the jibes you post on this channel!
    It's funny to me that the simple act of turning around is such a big deal in windsurfing. In other sports, like snowboarding for example, turning around or shifting direction is no big deal, but not so in windsurfing. It's a big deal and hard to master, especially if you want to fully plane all the way through a jibe and exit with speed. That's not easy! I appreciate all your tips though. I think you're spot on about keeping the board level and keeping the mast upright, or at least not tilted back or tilted to the outside of the jibe when flipping the sail.

    Also, notice at 7:28 (slomo at 8:31) how you drop the rig leeward, with the mast almost horizontal to the water; this removes a lot of power from the sail, and makes it "neutral", and a lot easier to switch tack.

    Fuck my life! I have been stalling my Jibes for years and turns out it is the weight in the back problem. My Jibes look and end exactly as your example of weight in the back, it's like watching myself. To make matters worst, I do flip the rig when the mast is way behind so there you go! Can't wait for some wind to try correcting this and give you feedback. Thanks for opening my eyes!

    The jibe.... Probably the most analyst move in windsurfing. Your jibe is one of the best out there. I really love it. But regarding tips, my personal observation is, that many guys and girls are so bad with the foot work, that they simply not get there where your tips start. They are not able to do the jibe "dance", how I call it. (It is timing and precise foot work, like learning a dance) Regarding timing they are always to late.

  • @surfcello
    @surfcello 11 місяців тому +1

    One thing that took me long to realise is that compared to your normal sailing position you really have to lean forward and into the bend to keep the board flat front-to-back and carving all the way through the curve. Then, when you’re going fully downwind and there is minimum pressure in the sail, you need to stand back up and actively move the mast past your shoulder. Just letting the sail hand go will not make the sail swing over fully, and in the worst case the new boom side will be so far away that reaching for it will bring you completely out of balance.

    @florianbauch3581 Рік тому

    Wow another great one and I will put even more focus on the upright mast and down-force when shifting :-) However, Step 4 (2:18) leaves me a bit puzzled. With both feet around the center-line, isn't it more difficult to maintain pressure the leeward rail? (heel to toe would be the other option) You really nail it and your clips are eye catchers.

    great tips! I am leaning my mast way too far back ( for an 85 ltr board) and it sinks the tail, slows me down, and turns the rig up wind too much, just as you described. Most of the jibe videos I have watched are with very large boards, so they get away with it, but it doesn't work on a wave board at all. Thank you for pointing out the reasons why.
