It Took Me FIVE Years To Learn The Power Jibe

Heart's still racing...

🤣🤣🤣🤣 epic

Edit: let’s do a coaching when I’m in north Germany… 😂

It's great to see someone who is more at a level that, I think many people can relate to.

As both a windsurfer and cellist I very much appreciated your intro (and outro)!!! Your humor is the cherry on top! (Not sure how much "power" was in your jibe though 😂). Keep making these videos please!

[thomasbohn]

Had a big smile on my face the whole video. Your editing is hilarious. I too have watched the videos from Mario, Nils and Nico too many times to count🫣 I feel like I spend more time with them than my own children 😂😂 Congratulations. Best feeling in the world 🤘

Your videos exactly sum up my windsurf journey!

[mintoxace]

Great video mate. I’m glad you got to do a jibe. From watching your earlier attempts, I can see that you aren’t getting your rear foot right across to the opposite side of the board on the rail just in front of the rear foot strap, and then you are leaning too far back as you’re turning so it’s stalling the jibe (running out of speed). Once you have your foot established on the opposite rail just in front of the rear foot strap, pull your boom in and lean forward so you are centred over the board, and lean towards your leeward rail. Look towards where you want the go and step forward near the mast base as you swap feet. Good luck ! 😊

You did it - that is great news and hopefully it will fuel you with positive windsurf motivation and energy, best regards from deep fjord Norwegian surfer

🎉🎉 Great to have you back! Well done for completing your first power gybe ....From another windsurfer on that same journey 😅

[matiasgibbs]

The Nico Prien flashbacks had me cracking 🤣

[Peeter]

I'm so happy for you. Your journey has been so relatable and yet enjoyable to watch. I'm roughly in the same situation, learning gybe. I've watched all your videos all these years. Good job! 🤙🤙🤙

[cliftonbland]

Thank you so much. Its took me right back to my first power jibe. When you "sheet in" you must first reach as far back down the boom as possible. Also look back before you turn.

[robmilligan]

Great to see you back with more videos, and fantastic progress! I’m only a little ahead of you, but now staying onboard for most planing gybes. Planing out is another story!!

[TheYellowDmon]

Well done mate. I've been following your trials and tribulations in mstering the Power Jibe. Such a buzz for you. Onward and upward. I need to get on the water and practise, practise, practise like you.

[Jackebono]

Entertaining as always! It was great meeting you and the old one in Fuerte!
Good to see you've finally "mastered" the jibe! 😁

[stevesummerfield]

I’ve so missed your videos. A welcome return. Well done on the gybe of course..

[MatthiasFirley]

Whoohoo, nailing the first jibe is epic! Keep going, it's just the beginning of an insane journey! Congrats!✌

[windaddict]

Awesome editing especially at the start of the video. Windsurf comedy gold! Huge congrats, this is the last big milestone of freeride windsurfing. BTW: I think only Germans call it power jibe (I also used to, I am German myself). Everyone else says carve jibe. Or am I wrong here?

[ordinaryswedishwindsurfer]

congratulations to your first gybe, i watched my stats and it took me around 3000 of those to get a real planing gybe so keep it up🎉

[kristianmartincic]

Love youir videos, highly relatable for those of us not quite doing Defi! ""my hair is DRY!"

[BsTi]

Wieder ein cooles Video. Die Halse ist auch mein Endgegner der immer gegen mich gewinnt. Probiere mich jetzt erstmal am Wasserstart und der schnellen Wende...
