This is reality. Not everyday is planing conditions. Thanks for finding purpose on a low day.

Brilliant stuff Cookie - I'm returning to windsurfing after a 20 year break, frankly if this sort of practical demo advice had been around back then I'd probably never have taken so much time off. Now I'm retired but live close to the biggest lake in France (Hourtin) and will be putting this into practice over the next few days - Thank you you are an inspiration !

The best video about gybe I've ever watched on YouTube. Wonderful 👏🏻👏🏻

This is perfect! I came back to windsurfing after 15 years. I never could do a full planing gybe, maybe one reason I stopped windsurfing. And this video is absolutly golden! Had a smooth planing day with my big board and 9, 4m² today. I needed to discipline myself to train gybes and gybes and gybes and gybes. Theese tips were perfect to me! I got every single freakin gybe! fast and slow, didn't matter. Totally slow and almost planing through. This took my lightyears away from my old gybe technique. Thank you so much!

Very useful and clear as usual. Last week I found myself thinking of one of your tutorial when in the water… that’s mean it’s good stuff 🤟

[pinocavallini]

Sail across! Of course. That made all the difference for me. Thanks!!

[ScottMillerCoaching]

Great tips clearly explained as always. Thanks, Cookie!

You correctly point out that the basic motions and mechanics are the same for the non-planing, planing, and foil jibes. I didn't fully realize that until I started watching your videos. For years I assumed the planing jibe was much different than the non-planing jibe. Lately I've been practicing the non-planing jibe just like you describe it and carrying the same motions into the planing and foil jibes. That has really helped!

This is exactly what im training right now! It is so nice to nail a gybe even though going slow. Feels like magic when for a moment you dont hold on to the boom but the sail comes to you!

[paulholliday]

I’m on a windsurfing course now and I recommend this video to my fellow students:)

[mikethompson]

Had so much fun practising this in light winds over the weekend. Beats sitting on the shore waiting for the wind and hopefully I will reap the benefits when the wind comes. Practised a few non planing duck gybes as well, although im not sure it will give me the confidence to try ducking in planing conditions! Keep the vids coming, I’m learning so much that I’ve been doing wrong!

[Jhoekstra]

You really convinced me to get a bigger board so I can practice more. Thanks!

[jamesdougall]

Great vid Simon as always! I kept thinking you were going to run into a lady fishing in the red boat, then finally worked out the "fishing rod" is actually the sound boom for your video! 🤣🤦‍♂️

[robhruska]

Love that drill at the end. Gonna us that.

[ricciuccio]

Great video, Cookie. I've always got this wrong and thrown the sail forward instead of across. Can't wait to being on the water again to try it. 🏄🏻‍♂️

[mariondean]

Great vid Cookie. Can't wait to try this out. Thanks for the pointers! Love the holder you have for your camera...I need one of these...😊

[matiasgibbs]

Thank you. Can't wait to try these tips in my next session!

[mrcputh]

Another awesome tutorial! And the return of my fav move: the disco jibe! 🤩🕺🏻

[myfelicidade]

This technique is useful even in stronger winds when you want to jibe very tightly: once in the correct position (after the 5 H) just put more pressure on the back foot before sheeting in. This raises the nose of the board slightly, allowing it to pivot within a few meters.

As always, great Tutorial. Many thanks!!!!
