Your videos are becoming even better and your effort is admirable. Thank you!!

[Paul-wvim]

This is a great video, thank you. One day, I'll plane out of my gybes...

[andersjuul]

You are a dancer 🕺! Another great video, inspiring as always🙏

[frankmoonen]

Thanks, it helped me a lot with timing. Indeed i must change my feet earlier as well. The timing on sail flip in respect to the foot change is very good noticable. Very much appreciated!

[larsvonvelsen]

👍 like always! Great that there are some repetitions of the movements. 🤙

[longinuscity]

Thanks, maybe this helps me to find the lost power! I noticed that my jibes are much better when I'm riding a wave... can't get a nice planing exit on the flat spots. This made me regain all the interest in planing out of the jibe consistently. The video is quite easy to understand indeed, there's something about the delivery! :)

Great tips! I had 2 years off injured and my gybes went backwards. I've been trying to improve them, as well as get back up to speed, and one thing someone told me was I was doing the foot change too late. It really makes a difference doing it earlier. You're in a more stable position to adjust to things and deal with the rig flip. I like the not one style fits all approach idea too.

Iam following you quite a while from Germany and Spain. Thanks 🙏🏻 for your so nice looking content!

Excellent video! You can really see what's going on with your feet.

To me, the footwork is one of the most difficult parts of gybing. I've been one of those people who switch their feet too late. My instinct is to wait until the board slows down enough that I feel comfortable switching my feet, but if I do that then there's no way I'll plane out of the gybe.

Thanks for another amazingly informative video. I will definitely be putting all this into practice!
I was really stuck on the foot change for ages. One thing that’s unlocked this move for me recently is thinking of it more of a ‘hip twist’ first rather than just a foot change. I was forever trying to change my feet with somewhat tense, locked hips pointing directly downwind. Relaxing, dropping and twisting the hips near the downwind point (but keeping the body upright) immediately drives the foot change for me. There is a point where I feel I have to change my feet - because my hips have already started to rotate. I think I can see something similar at 1:48
I may be barking up completely the wrong tree here 🤷‍♂️😂 but thinking about the gybe in this way seems to have really unlocked my progress 👍

[russellscott]

I can get into the gybes and even swap feet going clew first but I then struggle to keep the board turning so end up in no man’s land. It’s sooo frustrating.

[paulholliday]

Are you also applying foot mast pressure during the foot change?

[vulcanjibe]

The best tip : don't switch your feet!!! Keep your front foot in the strap and follow your planning in switch position... It s the only way to do smooth planning jibe in hardcore conditions...
If you learn the gybe with switching feet, you will never pass one hand gybe or no hand gybe...
