I got an email asking about some jibing tips so I thought i would share them with you guys......
\nAs for your jibes, you want mast foot pressure and front foot pressure. The back foot you don't want too much pressure, use it as your guide to keep the rail engaged in the turn. Try to keep your weight forward, look into your turn where you want to go, keep the front arm extended so the rig stays away from you. If you get the rig too close to you, all your weight goes back and the board will stall or do funny things. The name of the game for making a nice jibe is speed! Make sure you over sheet with your back hand to take control of the sail, use speed to guide you through the turn. Keep your weight low, knees bent, hang from your booms! Don't move your feet around too much, think of the jibe as a slow dance with a hot chick that you want to be close to- nice and smooth, no fumbling around. Get it in your head how you would do it, visualize and flow through the movements\u2026.Always remember, look where you want to go!<\/p>\n
