I recommend the Philip Köster tack which you can see on Philip Köster youtube channel video from 2014, "Windsurfing at the step" in Tenerife at 1 minute 10 seconds in. Going through transition he does back hand ( one nearest clew on boom) to mast then front hand goes to new side of boom at harness lines. For tacking where you are heading straight into the waves this way seems more robust and simple. One advantage is that while holding the mast for a second the sail can swing around neutral, doing its own thing. Don't be too quick even to grab the boom until you sort of stabilized on the new side of board. Can help to grab boom fairly near mast and push backwinded a little for a second or two. A sharp pull on back hand before going round can help. It is still tricky to judge the exact moment to go around in relation to how the board is pointing to the wind direction.

I tried this move in 1976 and I still can’t do it, always manage to drop clew into water and then have to uphaul. I am making progress tho, although starboard tack to port tack is harder than other way around. I’ve found everyone has different strengths, some guys can’t gybe but do great tacks and vice versa. Enjoy the challenge. I’m on Kailua windsurfing for seniors.
Great stuff, looking forward to future tutorials. Any freestyle ones planned?
Yes it is coming!!
