Excellent and clear. The waayyyy down the boom was what really made the difference for me - and to stay LOW. This gives far better control and now I fly around the corners way more often than ever before - Thanks a lot. Regards Per - Denmark
I know this sounds odd but I often find it better to mimic the old windsurfer vibe. Both feet together, out of the straps and especially when jibing onto a wave. It's like a longboard surfing move. Love your vlogs👍
pleasure, we can only attack our gybes if we go into them with speed, i.e. sail the first part of the gybe and go fast AND then Carve and Show the sail :)
+silversix65 Hey mate, thanks for the feedback and the invite. No plans for an Argentina clinic but many south americans book up on my Jeri, Brazil clinics - see you there and I look forward to coaching you :)
It might not be a relevant question under this video but; What kind of harness lines are you using? (brand) I feel like small topics like these are highly overlooked. Equipment like Harness lines, mastbases and mastextentions: what to look out for & what do you prefer the most? I currently found that I enjoy sailing with 25'' fixed harness-lines the most. Which I can now find nowhere since brands now sell either 24'' or 26''. I also find that brands' "inches" differentiate in length a lot. So it might be worthwhile to get a measuring tape with. Either way, the reason I am asking is I enjoy how your harness lines don't 'dangle' around too much.
34 Inch Flying Objects lines, like 32 inch from most brands. Long lines give you better gybes as you can get into the move with more speed and both unhooking and hooking in are easier :)

''show the sail' is a really great tip! thanks Jem
+Deaglán O Ceirín absolute please Deaglan, hammer that rail and really bend those ankles in the carves ... enjoy :)
Thanks a lot Jem for the help. Really appreciate it. :)
Your videos are the best online. a simple and effective way to break down a complex maneuver. This got me jibing.

Amazing tips Jem, thanks a lot! How I wish you could come to Cuesta del Viento, Argentina, and run some windsurfing clinics.
