Those lake conditions looked quite tricky random wavy conditions. It is easier on the sea near the beach with smooth water between small waves with onshore wind.. An alternative method of starting to learn the duck gybe ( for 70 Kg adult ) is when you have a 5m 2 or 6m2 sail and you have just enough power to be planing [ not going maxed out ] then sailing parallel to waves and once you have a good stance for going round the corner and back hand a bit further back than normal planing then just let go of the front of the boom, the mast will drop near the water, so make sure your clew hand on boom doesn't let the mast touch the water or you will cannonball. Reach with what was your mast hand round and grab the new side of boom as far forward as comfortable [ maybe half way between clew & harness lines ] then what was your clew hand lets go of old side of boom and hopefully reaches new side between harness lines and mast but more forward the better. You will be sailing along on new reach with your back hand holding in reverse of normal grip. If your front hand is forward of the harness lines you can probably let go of back of boom if things aren't going well so that sail can flap to neutral and hopefully you can keep surfing out of it. NB make sure you still have more than a metre depth of water so that if you do cannon ball that you won't hit the bottom with outstretched arm.

Dear Nico, Thanks for all the videos, the instructions, and all the help. You cover extremely exciting topics with fantastic style and thoroughness. As an intermediate freerider, I learned a lot of useful things from you and I always look forward to the next video, whether it's an experience report or a tutorial. I would like to share some ideas about what I would like to listen to on your channel in the future. (If there has ever been a similar one, I apologize.) - What smartwatch do you use for racing and training? What are the most useful functions for you, and what is a freerider sure to find useful? Are there other technical tools that still help you? - Waist harness, Crossover Harness (e.g. Dakine XT), Seat harness. Differences in body position and harnessline length. Health reasons. - Where should we set the mast and footstraps? I feel like none of them are ever in the right place.

Yessss, I want one of these caps so badly. Unfortunately I was on holiday when the last video dropped and only got to see it 2 weeks later. By the time I had arrived back home the caps had already sold out. Tbh I dont care about the colour, though I do prefer the gray and black and gray and red ones. I'm sure this tutorial is going to come in handy for me one day, but currently I've gotta work on my flip jibes and using my harness. Thx for the amazing vids tho

@gaborparlagh83782 жыл бұрын
The way most important step for the duckjibe is that you should FINISH the sail switch BEFORE you reach full downwind stage. This is the opposite of the normal jibe, when you need to go through downwind to be successful with the sail switch. If you fail that, the result is at 4:19
@TomaszPec-vx1hh2 ай бұрын
Exactly, the video misses that element which is responsible for 90% success in this move

Me and many of my friends are still studying so we don’t have such a big budget. Would be great to get some advice about which board, sails are good for different skill levels and body weights. it doesn’t have to be new it can be surf material from prior years. We all used to surf with gear we had from our parents. Now we’re looking forward to get some own gear. Doesn’t sound that hard but honestly with all those options of board and sail sizes shapes it gets pretty difficult to filter out what actually is a good setup for a normal everyday person just like us. A gear guide for average surfer would be great. Example: I am struggling with a power jibe, than fall into the water, conditions are making a water start not possible- how much liter should the Bord have in order to have enough elevation to start the board with the starting rope - for the case one can’t do a water-start due to certain conditions

Nice tutorial. I find a smaller sail foot is easier than a shorter boom; better to use a large wave sail than a small freeride. It helps you maintain your posture as you say and helps prevent the dreaded leaning back to "duck" under the sail.
@kunexa2 жыл бұрын
For me personally, on a wave board, i find it easier to stay in footstraps for the entire move and finish on a switch stance. That way you dont have to find the perfect moment as the sail, once grabbed on the other side, wont catapult you. Also you can add some extra style to it as while you lean inside the corner you can swipe the water with your hand :D

being modest i used to do perfect duck jibes...30 years ago. Then i totally forgot about them.

Today is already 30 knots again....

I really enjoy watching your videos, even though I am (until now) not a windsurfer (I have to admit i'm a kitesurfer/kitefoiler/wingfoiler). Every time I see one of your videos, it feels like I get a step closer to actually giving it a go. I really, really have to talk to some Windsurfers if they can lend me some of their old material to try it out. And hands down, Windsurfing looks freaking cool! The riding position screams "In-Control", awesome!
