❌Don´t Powerjibe Like This! | Windsurf Analysis

[@thomaskuchta2623]

I come more from wavesailing ... I would place the backhand a little bit more to the end of the Boom ... wider hold and then automaticly put the Rig more to the Front ... like a bottom Turn

[@paulsp2k]

In almost every jibe video on KZbin, the one point I always find so difficult to understand is the point at which the foot change and sail flip occurs. It becomes difficult to picture the transition point in relation to the wind due to the moving perspective, but you touched on the point Mario, that in some of those jibes, you may have left things a bit late. The drone footage though fixes those perspective issues as it is a top down view, which makes it easier to see where the wind direction is in relation to the board heading at foot change time. It would be useful to see more videos from the drone, and an explainer of when is too soon, the perfect time and too late for foot and rig flip.

Change feet a split second before you change hands :)

Great Video Mario! Very analytic. Helped me a lot in improving my jibes. When it comes to the aspect of "vision forward" I think learning to juggle with 3 or 4 balls helps us improve the ability to separate vision from hands.

[@ErikDrifter]

I've come back to this video multiple times so I could really observe even the smallest things and now I see some significant improvements in my jibes. Thank you Mario for some great lectures!

[@daniloscamonatti199]

Hi Mario. Great video and very useful. What I appreciated most was your humility in analyzing your mistakes for the benefit of others. Not everyone can do this. Anyway, your jibe technique is very stylish! Porto Pollo with that wind condition is a very nice spot to improve jibing. Cheers!

[@ThanosSofroniou]

One thing for me is that when I develop bad habits for a long time in my technique, I have to go fully prepared for a day knowing exactly what to do to solve that problem and consciously do that move with only one thing in mind which is to solve that habit. And I have to do it over and over. And many times this change will make you worse overall but you have to stick with it even if you are now worse than before and now you gotta solve a new problem, usually easier because it hasn't developed as a habit yet. If I don't have maximum focus on that thing during my session initially, I always revert back to the old bad habit and its really stubborn to fix

[@512k]

Laydown jibe was my dream for a long time, I watched a tutorial and my first try was accidentally good, I was surprised by how fast the board turned like your 4th in the video. I had to rush the foot change and sail rotation but it worked out, great time. I though it was even easier than a normal jibe. But I stopped forever after maybe 5 good of 20 try when I finally break my mast in a crash. The more I crash the more fear I get so I'm doomed. As I'm now I still don't make a jibe properly on daily basis, making every mistakes in the book, I'm still working on it and a full plane jibe is my next teen dream to achieve. Not easy in the gusty chopy south of France (ganguise & la nautique) but I keep trying, tomorow is light 14/25 knots so I will work on it.

[@horsemadf1]

I wish I could gybe like you. I am very critical of my gybing . I used to be very good at looking at the exit but after 2 years off injured I sometimes don't. Generally the worst gybes are always because I'm not looking at the exit. It's nice to see even someone at your level is critical but I suppose that's how we improve. By the way you are VERY close to the beach where you are gybing!

[@wajfarut]

Awesome video! Best way to learn in my opinion

[@tanjakohls9340]

Thanks for your time to explain the jibes🤙🤙

[@MarioKuempel]

Gernegerne!

[@alexrogers9197]

Hi Mario, great video, really appreciate your candid analysis, I'm new to your channel in the past couple of months (watched a lot of Nico's before) and really enjoy your reviews as you say it as it is, which gives 'real world' relevance to keen windsurfers like myself who are not so talented but look forward to every session and any tips that enable us to improve.

[@klimaanlagenjochen]

Hi Mario, great Video again. Looking where you want to go seem to be the most general but best hint ever. It's amazing how this works nearly in any situation. I told it to my son for skiing while tried it the first time at the age of four years. He went curves nearly as he wants and without knowing what he is doing. And yes, I use it also for carving jibes. Speed up, be focussed and look forward into the jibe, amazing. I'm looking forward to your next video, Jochen

[@claudiajansen5904]

Great video Mario 👍

[@simongodfrey3765]

Thanks a lot Mario. I really appreciate it. I notice they were all laydown gybes and they look great, but in a race not preferred. My problem has been with the foot change where I've been ending up too far forward then can't handle the power of the rig. I notice your new back foot goes behind your old back foot which is not what I was taught but looks very effective. Great content and very useful! Cheers!

[@hansloose]

Thank you for learning from your mistakes

[@bradmurdaugh5228]

Great video. Useful to see how people analyze videos of themselves.

[@Phil-ry2ux]

Good video, some self analysis with video helps a lot. Like Nils and sometimes Andy Laufer you hook in before putting the front foot into the footstrap. This seems to be a German thing from what I can see. If you gybe on the sea and hook in first, it greatly increases the chance of a catapult as the nose of the board might hit a wave/white water/swell before you have picked up speed again. If you learn on lakes, this wouldnt matter. Nico Prien seems to put his feet in the straps before hooking in.

[@MarioKuempel]

Thanks! I think I even said this in the video at some point, totally agree..😊

[@robertocoslovich3143]

Very useful video, I've learned a lot. Thanks

[@MarioKuempel]

Happy to hear!

[@viliviz]

there is a difference between gybe 2 and gybe 3. In gybe 2 you didnt shift some of the sail weight towards the back foot, before the lay down.. this is why it looks kind of weird while in 3 you did.. and i think you need to do this specially in choppy waters, since it stabilizes your board and doesnt fly around too much, which actually happeend to you in 2

[@henq]

Mario, I am a complete amateur, certainly compared to you. BUT, I think you have in your muscle memory to shift the sail and your feet at the same time. That always leads to a unstable (half a) second. So I’d suggest you experiment with shifting your feet first, sailing *CLEW FIRST* for half a second and then flip the rig. What do you think?

[@steveherbert2921]

If only my jibing mistakes were as good as Mario's. For me, a water start has become a part of the jibe :-)

[@franknuding314]

Schaue immer gerne deine Videos.LEIDER ist mein Englisch miserabel.weiter so aber auch gerne hin und wieder in deutsch😊

[@themtchannel2110]

vid was great idea - nicely done!

[@rasmuszaurins7233]

Hello, looking where your next "problem" is seems to be your natural motion. You even look down to your harness lines when wanting to hook in. Why not start with unlearning this motion, start hooking in without looking, giving the message to your body that not every topic has to be supervised by eyesight, but by feeling the internal body position and learning your body to get to this position without visual aid. Maybe sail straight, close your eyes - no vision to guide -, then hook in and out and feel what body motions are done and then replicate. Then you can go on and close eyes shortly while carving a turn, you need to get away from visual coordination to feel coordination, only then you will be comfortable looking elsewhere and not at the "next" topic, like hooking in. I think Franciso Goya once said he can do his backloops with closed eyes because his body had ingrained the feeling of a backloop, no eye guidance needed.

[@rkj7935]

Great video! Thank you!

[@lazslostpierre9951]

Nice work Mario!

[@aleksanderwodkowski8965]

thx Mario, good tips

[@ThomasWessel-ny5ew]

Lift and sdtraighten front arm during laydown. ALL YOU CAN. So that shoulder touches chin.

[@schobihh2703]

I like your videos. Great explanations. You actually tell us simply, that jibing is just so difficult. core strength, technic, timing. Only if everything comes together it is really cool. My 5 cents on your jibes, you overdo your laydown, i.e. you do a little to much and a little to long, which makes timing and adjustments more tricky. I prefer less laydown but this is a personal choice I believe. To me Nico Prien is still the style master for jibing. His technic epitomizes for me jibing perfection.

[@andreykostin8375]

Thank you, Mario. Your videos are always great and very useful. And very nice spot. Could you please share, where this beautiful spot is? Thank you!

[@MarioKuempel]

It’s the same spot as in my previous spotguide video. Feel free to check it out..😊🤙🏽

[@jorritvandijk1987]

LOVE THE VIDEO❤🎉

[@tommasoperi2019]

🤙🤙🤙great video Mario

[@tjarkmchenky]

Einfach direkt doppelter subcribe-Aufruf. War bestimmt Absicht, hat zumindest fürs liken funktioniert 😂

[@martijnkarel5772]

So... Conclusion: best jibes when one sails more relaxed an not too eager?

[@vardenispavardenis2318]

good leason

[@MarioKuempel]

Thanks!!

[@kjacky999]

🤪🤪🤪good tips

[@davethewave9380]

You‘re just looking down to have a better view on your perfect jibes! 🤙😉

[@MarioKuempel]

🤣 exactly! haha

[@Windsurfwannabe]

I wish i could do those mistakes to. It would mean that i could power jibe!! 🤣

[@windcrashing]

real men crash and uphaul 😛

[@windloungeDE]

🤙🏾

[@ThomasWessel-ny5ew]

First of all. Stop using a seat harness. Use a hip harness (waist harness with string) and longer lines. Then, make video. The leg bones will keep the harness down, not the string. That's just for preventing floating up.

[@MarioKuempel]

First of all. I’m not using a seat harness. It’s a hybrid one.😚

[@ThomasWessel-ny5ew]

@@MarioKuempel hybrid is an even bigger mistake. A compomize killing windsurfing. And all germans are fooled. Stop and think. Really think.

[@TheSurfGuys]

Hang Loose, super Video 🤙

[@MarioKuempel]

Thanks mate!

[@gun7307]

Good hints and explanations. Thanks for it!
