The Tack is one of the most important transitions in windsurfing, allowing us to stay upwind and aid in our progression onto using smaller boards in stronger winds. In this video, we look at a way of tacking that will work with most kit in most conditions.

This just goes through so much detail in slow mo that can’t be replicated in real life

Great breakdown of a moving tack, can't wait until I get good enough to do this!

Thank you for great lesson. Going forward, backward, slow motion with explanation really helps!! To the point. Clear. Precise.

I recommend the Philip Köster tack which you can see on Philip Köster youtube channel video from 2014, "Windsurfing at the step" in Tenerife at 1 minute 10 seconds in. Going through transition he does back hand ( one nearest clew on boom) to mast then front hand goes to new side of boom at harness lines. For tacking where you are heading straight into the waves this way seems more robust and simple. One advantage is that while holding the mast for a second the sail can swing around neutral, doing its own thing. Don't be too quick even to grab the boom until you sort of stabilized on the new side of board. Can help to grab boom fairly near mast and push backwinded a little for a second or two. A sharp pull on back hand before going round can help. It is still tricky to judge the exact moment to go around in relation to how the board is pointing to the wind direction.

The video would be perfect with an indication of the wind direction. Really clear on the body mouvement and hand placement tough!

You shouldn’t watch this if you cannot tell the wind direction from the bloody vid. Isn’t it obvious?

When he does the switch to the other side he is heading roughly straight into the wind. At this point the rig is neutral, so he can make the turn.

Good video, but not so good explanations. The head is not as important as he thinks. Like in driving, you need to look in the right direction, but this is not what steers the car. He seems to be pulling the sail with his left hand quite significantly, which I think will speed up going through the turn. I think I’m not doing this enough. It happens in all sports that high performers do things intuitively, but not always know consciously what they are doing, and hence not explaining everything.
