Nailed in technical and English as well. Bravo!

Excellent as always-- I would add one more element. Spotting the turn with your eyes helps bringing the board around. Too often, I see people looking at their wing instead of spotting the turn.

Thanks again Gwen. Been struggling with the jibe but getting closer and closer. Good tips especially #3.

Always informative! Thank you for producing these videos!

I use the "1, 2, 3, Rule" for Smooth Gybes. Count to 3 slowly as you are entering the Gybe, Count to 3 as you are swinging the Wing, Count to 3 as you are exiting the Gybe going slightly downwind. The 1, 2, 3 Count helps you slow down the process while maintainig focus. As other Wingers have said always finish looking further upwind then your actual Gybe path.

Great content as always. One subject which kind of is missing, is the fact that many beginners struggle with being faster than the wind in their jibes - resulting that the wing's trailing edge drops and the whole wing gets backwinded, working like a inversed parachute. It's the timing of switching hands, I know - but it also helps holding that wing actively horizontal when going through that "dead spot" especially in light winds...

By watching one of your videos, I get instant summer vibes.

@Damien Great precise and simple explanations , I realize that I have done and keep on doing these mistakes one thousands of times if not more. looking forward trying your tips on the water . Merci chef!

the back hand tip is excellent !! thanks !!!

Terrific video. These were exactly my issues as I was getting some gybes, but not many. Before that phase, my two big issues were initiating with too little speed (because I hadn’t learned to turn down with power) and managing ride height. Getting video taken by my son really helped.

Thank you! You described me perfectly with all three. Can't wait to get this, and end crawling on the board with each turn.

thank you Gwen 🤙

Great video! I notice that you also pull the old front hand towards your shoulder before switching to the new front hand. It looks like this gets the wing out of the way and keeps your lean on toe side, setting you up for the new front hand to grab and power up. I know that I was keeping the wing too high in jibes and taking me off balance in the turn. I will try this today and see if it works.

Ok for the tip 1 and 3. But for back hand it was the opposite mistake for me. I was too focused on the wing and keeping the power like an old windsurfer. It was hard for me to exit the turn balanced. Since my friends told me to let the wing go early I finish always (almost) my turns flying. A foil with a good glide helps. I am now stucked on the switch because I am not able to ride toe side more than few seconds. I will pratice that when the weather will be less cold (north of France)

a video made for me (again) merci!

Thanks!

The best shots in these videos are the examples of doing it wrong. I can totally identify with the rear handle scramble and resulting superman launch.

Well done 👏

Can you do same tips for heel side tack please

I think I understand heal side vs toe side, but do you have a specific video explaining that a little more in depth?

I’d just add that with a very light wind it’s easy to go faster than wind during the jibe so in light wind it’s better to let go the back hand early and rely on momentum or pumping. Otherwise the wing will stop you entirely

Thank you again for the great video and breaking down the jibe. Regarding the board what is the main difference between the white bird and the blackbird. For reference, I only plan to wing this board in light to moderate conditions. I’m about 80 kg with full gear and a intermediate. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work guys you’re truly appreciated.

Always helps to pump the wing a couple times to get some speed and pressure before the gybe. My dad just loved to Jupiter. What beach or park are you on in Jupiter in this video?

Hi, how does the new 2024 Vision 8m perform compared to the 2023 Vision in 8m?

I am about 2 years away from these issues.

after 30 runs without jibing I realize that allegedely I'm doing all the three mistakes Mainly I loose the foiling, funble trying to catch the handle and fall on my back Any tricks when you loose the foiling to complete the turn?

great vid. Is that board the 100 or 115 L ? 🤙🏽

one question, the leash always get entangled after few jibes, any tips?

The 6m vision this year is the same o there are difference? Thanks

Gwen, enormous respect for your tutorials but, IN THE CASE OF A BEGINNER I have to disagree with you on Mistake 2. For a beginner, there is too much going on to coordinate the actions of both riding the foil and handling the wing at the same time. Much better to let go of the wing early, hold it up high, and get it out of the equation. Then, just concentrate solely on riding the foil through the turn WHILE NOT LOOKING DOWN BUT TOWARDS THE EXIT OF THE TURN. If you are in a well-balanced stance, you don't need to use the wing as a crutch for balance. Complete the turn in a smooth, continuous, carving action and then, as you said in Mistake 3, the wing will naturally be in position to grab it on the new direction. Don't worry about coming off foil. If you do, it doesn't matter, you will be learning good foil/stance technique. But if you enter the turn with a reasonable amount of speed and use a reasonably large/lifty/low stall speed foil, the chances are you will still be on foil when exiting the turn. Letting go of the wing early is the single most important tip that helped me get my first gybes.

damn he has some nice calves #nodiddy
