Dein Hinweis, dass Cucchi den Fuss gegenüber vom Fuss in der Schlaufe aufs Board setzt, ist Gold wert! Habe bisher den Fuss immer zu weit hinten aufgesetzt, jetzt kann ich meinen Oberkörper und das Segel im Turn viel einfacher nach vorne verlagern und das Rigg steht von alleine, ohne grosse Kraftanstrengung. Danke.
Hi Nils, thanks for a great analysis! One thing you didn't mention is that in the first 2 gybes you crossed your backhand over the front hand when flipping the sail, but in the last gybe you crossed it underneath. Most agree that the latter is better because you want to be lower for balance (as you mentioned) and crossing your hand under encourages this. Having said all that I acknowledge that you are a far superior sailor than me and I'm much better at identifying other peoples faults than fixing my own!! :)
Thanks for the straight leg out of the jibe tip! Funny in the first jibe that the guy who came in behind you didn't do that and got wiped out by the wave - so not only better for speed but also stability! 🤙 keep up the great vids
Fantastic video. Critiquing your own excellent jibes against a PWA sailor is very kind of you. Showing an intermediate sailor a professional and saying "Just do this", is not helpful. I agree that sliding the front had forward is a big help in the first video. Your 2nd jibe in waves would have been way more difficult that the pro one, especially without being used to looking for the flat in front of the wave. And in the second, maintaining the carve and giving the sail a push with the back hand to speed rotation would have been nice. Ha! I just pressed play for the third video and you talk about pushing with the back hand. Awesome.
Excellent self analysis Nils!! I recently did some jibing sessions with a tutor, I found it really helpful to have someone watching me and then helping right then and there with the parts which needed working on. Some things I noticed were, when you unhook (and this is just generally, not specific to you), you have to drop down low, lower than you think, this really helps especially if you are overpowered. The back hand needs to be a long way back, further than you think, it really helps with maintaining control. I notice a lot of people don't spend enough time on the setup, baring away and speeding up and so forth.....A great setup makes the rest of the jibe so much easier....on the exit, its good to grab the boom as far back as possible with the back hand to maintain control, otherwise you can do what that other windsurfer did in your first clip, you'll be thrown out the front door....Great video Nils!!
You're so right about that! Bearing off on a broad reach, getting your back hand further back, and keeping your weight really low are keys to a good jibe entry. I didn't learn that stuff until relatively recently and for me it was kind of a breakthrough.
jibing with a tutor can be really helpful as sometimes you don't realize you're doing something wrong and can't fix it if you don't know what you're doing wrong :)
Is there any purpose of a laydown jibe, other than maybe they’re fun? Do they help with speed or control? Btw your third jibe looked really good technique. Rippin’ !
I am no expert on the laydown jibe, but speed sailing-wise, things can turn ugly real fast if the sail is held upright when going into a jibe on speed flat water at double the wind speed. Part way through the jibe the sail is getting pushed back.
Nils, please look at this video about 'foils': ua-cam.com/video/M9bNTAqV4WI/v-deo.html What's your take on the triangular shape for a super fast fin or foil?

thanks for the feedback Rob, glad you enjoyed the video, I will keep working on my jibes ;)

Great video Nils. Great to see how people review there own videos.
thanks Brad!
Great video and a lovely setup 👍 first time I noticed the gnome in the window 😂
Thank you very much for this video, your analysis is very accurate with very interesting advice
Nice Analysis of your jibe, very helpful, thx Nils...nice Gartenzwerg 😁
thanks Jan, yes haha, I filmed that at my moms ;)
Hey Nils, du warst doch mal in der nähe von Tarifa auf einem See Surfen? Wo war das genau?
Gruß Lars
embalse del celemín hieß der, habe aber im Nachhinein erfahren dass es verboten ist dort zu surfen...
Great analyzing 💨💨💨. 🤙, Nice video 🤙, I hope I can try the tips asap 😇

I guess you can rail the board harder and thus make a narrower jibe...

Moin Nils, kannst du bitte die Untertitel einschalten? Danke!))
Moin Igor, sollte jetzt gehen!
@@WindsurfingNils Ja, jetzt viel besser! Danke sehr! Und danke für schönes Video!
Great video! Thx
Great analysis. i have to do The same. just have to find someone to film me 😁😁

What waist harness do you use? Notice it looked nice and low on the waist when you went into the jibe.
yes, just regular waist harness, usually push it down with my hands from time to time
