@@jamesoof1522legend! Appreciate the support! If any time speed is your friend, it’s in light winds. Enter the gybe after doing a few foot pumps and a few pumps of the wing at the same time. Everything is more critical in light wind so you want as much speed as you can get. Aim for at least 70-80% of your light wind top speed. After that, the technique mentioned in this video will help a lot. Hold onto the wing in the old position as you carve through the first part of the gybe, then transition the wing through quickly once you get through dead downwind. Transitioning the wing from the old position to the new position will prevent the wing getting backwinded and stop it from dropping onto the nose of the board where it will get in the way of the turn. Your other option is to learn the heineken gybe which I have some videos on. It will keep the wing above your head where it won’t backwind anywhere near as often
Nice video. 👍
Thanks! 🙏🙏
Thanks. Coffee is on the way. What adjustments would you recommend for very light winds to avoid getting backwinded?
