I need 8m most of the time and handling it through heineken and such maneuvers is pretty difficult. I wish i had enough wind to use 4 or 5

You can of course do a race jibe with an 8m - I am doing a Duotone Ventis 8m review in the future and I'm sure I'll throw in some race jibes for the video for that. 8m wings also 360 quite nice - so you can extend the race jibe into a 360 with a bit of practice.

How much wind do you have to use an 8m ??

@Wing-Tips 8 ай бұрын

@@munchkinproduction5191 for me personally I don't use 8m wings anymore as I can get down to 10kts or so with a 6.5m and below that I don't find it much fun. But with an 8m I can get going in about 8kts, less than that and I need to start using downwind boards.

In light winds with 6m is this better than a normal gybe to avoid running into wing?

@Wing-Tips 7 ай бұрын

yes this does avoid the running into the wing issue, plus you get a little boot of speed/power on the way in. For very light wind the technique can be changed a little - instead of putting the wing down and passing it over your shoulder and then swapping hands you put the wing down and then spin it to change hands (a bit like a duck gybe but you don't let go of the front handle). The spin technique gets you powered up more quickly than the pass over the shoulder and then swap hands.

I’m just a beginner, but in a race would you not be tacking upwind?

@Wing-Tips 5 ай бұрын

Race gybe is just its name, it isn't necessarily what you would use in a race. Whether you tack in a race would depend on what is fastest. If you were on a downwind leg (for example) then you would not tack.
