thank you for your precious lesson, I'm still working on my jibe and your videos are very useful, hope in the future to come in Vassiliky to partecipate at your classes
That drop down with arms straight on entry has been a lightbulb for me. I usually drop down but then stand up halfway and bend my arms. I can see if I stay dropped the whole gybe it will make a big difference. I need to work on my foot pressure.I imagine if I concentrate on front foot pressure through the gybe it will help keep the board flat and going. I tend to wobble around ( subplaning) so I'll have to concentrate on the arc and front foot .
I think this is one of the best ones for me. I never thought of flat as fore and aft until I saw a video of myself gybing from the shore. I have narrow longer boards so they are even less forgiving of fore and aft weight. I lose all speed as I enter as I sink the tail. I used to sink below the boom but have forgotten that in recent years. I find it horribly scary thinking of increasing the speed to enter the gybe. Another few weeks before I can get back on the water and build the body up but I'll certainly refer back to this. Once I'm back up to speed I'll try the S bends. You've mentioned them before but I'm not sure if this is a clearer video or I'm just ready for it now as this time it clicked.
The S turns, and training the entrance to drives make a huge difference to when you finally get around the corner! You can do as many as you can fit in given the size of your sailing area, before then actually needing to make a turn!
Great video - thanks! In my case, when there's a rare day of flat water I can pull off a reasonable non-planing gybe. I usually have lots of chop and marginal wind (like 0.6 meter choppy waves and 10-12 knots of wind). I find it almost impossible to gybe in those conditions. Is it even recommended to gybe in the conditions I described?
It’s definitely possible to gybe in those conditions- but much harder than flat water! Maybe you can make it to vass next summer and I’ll coach you on some flatter water! Email in description and we can chat through options! 😎
@@Cookiesports Thanks for the reply. I am SO dying to get to Vasiliki. It looks awesome. I hope I can. Till then, I'll keep trying to improve the gybe...
After more than 30 jibe tries during last week, I felt that scary feeling once, out of the footstrap during the entrance and it didn't end well 🤕. So I confirm, my issue is the entrance and more specifically, I fail to maintain high speed.
One month to go until watersportsnomad training... I try to remember your words until then. Momentum is a rider's best friend, they say in cyclocross. True for gybing, too?
How about in high chop? When I go broad there, the first problem is hitting the back of the waves in quick succession, slowing me down and throwing me off balance. I feel in big chop you can't really go broad first...
Здравствуйте скажите когда иду правым галсом галфиндом ухожу вправо на ветер ,когда надо влево ,что бы не делал ,увалится не получается .Мачту на нос нос доски тонет ,падаю .Стойка классическая 7 ,правая нога к мачте ,левая на корме ,сам на трапеции .что делать !? Спасибо !!!!
Thanks for your lessons, tips and the importance of entrance of the jibe. Based my experience the term railing - what it means, how it feels and how to get to it, should be discussed and explained much more than it happens. To exaggerate: All the advices and tips are useless if your board is not railing, because only the railing gives time and stability to switch the foot positions, shift the sail during the jibe and make some other moves on the board. I think that the railing has something common with the carving in skiing: It is some kind of fundamental skill you should understand and learn in this water sport and after that advices and tips are much more fruitful in getting better on the board.
Thanks for watching and hope you picked up some useful advice. Interesting thought you make... firstly when you say "railing" I think you mean "carving"- as in titling the board onto the inside edge and initiating a carve with the board to turn- that would fit with your following comments. And if I'm right with that, then you mean "All the advices and tips are useless if your board is not CARVING" I would respectfully disagree- and encourage almost the exact opposite of what you're suggesting. All of the entrance and everything described in this video is about getting the board FLAT, not carving at all. When the mid-point of the gybe approaches generally I see people carving too much, too much tilt on the board, making the foot change and rig flip very hard, as well as slowing the board down. Switching feet and rotating the sail on a board that is carving hard is very hard, unstable, and likely to stop very quickly. A flat board is a fast board- go big in the gybes, keep the board flat and stable- make everything easier. I would encourage you to watch this video, clearly showing the relation ship between a non-planing gybe and a planing one. It will explain all this much clearer. Once gybes are being rounded with some control, and speed on the exits, I may then start to encourage students to make tighter turns, and to do this it then becomes much more of a carve.
@@Cookiesports To be mentioned at first, all your videos, tips and advices are very useful and practical. And it is a pleasure to follow your style of combine live windsurfing and live speaking. In my comment I did try to point out that many non-plaining tips will remain non-plaining tips, if the board has lost the needed speed during the jibe and one topic to be emphasized more could be how to get the board to the carving position which makes it possible to keep the board plaining and to create a time window to switch feet and rotate the sail. A flat board is fast but sometimes - for example in choppy conditions - it makes you vulnerable for catapults/highsiders if the board nose sticks in the waves in the front of your board. Any way your super-7 stance, hanging of the boom, feet position and rolling knees are very useful to remember in preparing and starting a carve jibe and keeping the board plaining in and out.
Thank you for helping windsurfers all over the world. You are in your little way helping to keep this difficult to learn sport alive
Thank you!
O my god what a wonderful video !
i am planning to visit you very soon,thank you for your help🙌💚
Thanks! Yes, yes-yes… drop me an email and we can talk through coaching options for next summer!

Amazing teacher, 1,2,3 is key! Tried it and nailed it! You are a master!
Yes- it worked! Well done! 👏
Amazing, got a feeling this might work! Thank you will let you know!
Hope it helped!?
Great tips! Looking forward to trying them. Thanks Cookie!
👍👍👍
Thanks Cookie, I'm saving this one to go through a few more times!
🤘🤘🤘
Great video!! Keep posting..
Thanks- will do!

Bend your knees more, it should make everything feel more stable.
To get stability and speed on the entrance, stay low, out of the harness with an extended front leg.🦵
@@Cookiesports Thank you Cookie! I'll definitely focus on it!

Sure is!
See you here with the Nomads soon!

You can! 👌
Even if it’s just for a few seconds… without it everything is tougher!
The camera flattens the chop. What height is the chop where you are sailing and is it messy or regular?
Very messy, about knee height chop or so- depending on how high up-wind I am!
Great video. Please save me a hat for ADH
Tucked away safe and ready for you! 🤙

Tough to answer without seeing you windSurf! I do a lot of online coaching if it’s something you might be interested in?
@@Cookiesportsскажите как с вами связаться ?

Хорошо ,спасибо !
