👍 Well described again, and also informing those viewers that using the mast grasp area as the rig is in the process of swinging is very beneficial.

Excellent description of the gybing actions and techniques, and as I'd been a registered Windsurfing instructor myself who'd run my own Windsurfing school during the mid 1980s I knew how to perform them and gave identical tuition to My own customers.

He is so good. Pliping that sail naturally.Great instructions. Thank you ☺️

essential

thanks for very nice overview. kool and succinct.

Yes - agree. Also can do the "strap-to-strap" so that you don't change your feet mid-face. I haven't done a step gybe in 20 years unless sub-planning. Doesn't have to be a slam gybe, does it Dieter?...Anyway, excellent advice.

THE best fast tack explanation, Dieter. Now it all makes sense, having had successes and failures out back, at sea...thanks!

This is awesome

Thank you. That was an excellent tutorial.

This is not fair. You are making it look easy.

The video is very clear in itself, but I don't understand why Dieter keeps saying to 'cross over the swell that is downwind'. He doesn't do that in any of the clips?! It also doesn't make any sense to me, because you would have to climb over the back of the swell to cross it, which would kill your speed.

Loved it...Col even asked about the tweaked...🎉 epic

First thanks for sharing riders secrets ! Minor point: I don't see the different techniques between in and out, they seem to be exactly the same. More important, I would be grateful if one day you prepare and post a video on how to jibe in very strong winds. We see pro riders in some gusty races that are forced to grab the mast with the back hand as soon as it has left the boom, so acting differently from your current video, and I believe they have some other survival tips I long for !

Great video

nice tip

What if it's cross shore wind, you take off at 45 degrees to the wind but at the apex of the jump the bottom of your board is not yet pointing directly into wind. How to get it there? Only once board is dead into wind does spotting the landing seem to help the rotation.

If you have nice rolling swell, this is great fun. You can really surf the wave.

You have addressed almost all of the problems I have with the tack. The problem I think I have left is that I’m kind of short, and it seems like if you had longer arms and legs it would be easier. For example, with my back foot just behind the front foot straps and my front foot in front to the mast, y legs are kind of far apart. It feels like I have to make a big step up to get up around the mast, which throws off my balance. Also, staying away from the sail during the flip isn’t easy. It just seems to come upright rather than staying low. Anyway, I’m going to work on this now. Maybe I’ll get it

So confusing! Everyone frightened the waves! Even some basic starboard rule for most people doesn’t even follow!

"Q" - does dyneema cloth turns brittle when coated with epoxy resin, like the Kevlar does? Secondly, do you need to prime the foamboard before glassing with dyneema? Thx in advance...

Novenove Chameleon 102L, Is it good board to learn some freestyle trick on flat water (vulcan etc ) ?

Yes thats true. I think the first gybe in the video shows it best. He carves hard on the top, which will lose some speed and then he sails clew first down the wave changes his feet and then flips the sail. Will try it next time out.

Thanks for the explanation I had a really hard time getting out and in when I was there. "El muelle" is a very safe and fun place to catch waves too.

Very spectacular !!

oh, I will never forget the day I crashed just in front of the bunker and ruined my board. Trying to get out of the water barefoot I made contact with some unfriendly „local“ and stepped right into the spine of a sea urchin. 😂

Great! Can't wait to see it in a real race.

Now they need to learn how to scrub the jump so they are faster 😂

Love it! It‘ll be great fun to watch the races, all filmed with the drone, Ben commentating! Splitting foil and fin was a good decision, both disciplines are just awesome! 🤙😎

Do most people sail there barefoot?

Very clear explanation of the spot, thanks Dieter!

Great video. Is it ok to launch from the beach near the hotel end of the bay?

Fantastic guide. Wonderful. I wish all great tricky spots would have such a clear guide. Thanks a million a time.

Wow, by far the best spot guide I‘ve came across. Thanks Dieter! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

on the way out ... of what ?? I don't get this references. I imagine thing but not all clear. Can you explain way-out and way-in please ? I will soon sail in capo verde and this tutorial would be very useful. Cheers

I always enjoy a good tack video! It's one those moves for me that easier to do on one side than the other. Not sure why that's so, since some moves are easy in both directions, but other moves one side seems favored/more successful and the other side is harder

I really loved the time I spent with you guys on the Nico Prien clinic last week. Adam and Joshua were the ones I was with the most and they were really great - patient, fun and generally great guys! Congrats on your anniversary and much love to you all!

I’ve been trying to do fast tack for 50 years on my 200 liter boards. Next time. I’ll try that front foot position. I’ll also mention that currents and swell can make one tack direction harder than the other. At Kailua I can do port to starboard only. See Kailua windsurfing for seniors.

The event organizers can decide. It is a good idea to have these alternative / options in the rule book.

I'm all for this, i.e., racing in a variety of conditions, especially serious waves and shore conditions. This might better suit smaller sailers, too, expanding the field that's become specialized for taller, heavier sailors.

Just regular Fin slalom races please. And more freestyle events!!!

A CIRCUS! Stupid, ludicrous, degrading, disrespectful... Killing our sport... AGAIN! Shame on this insanity! 🤮😤😡😠🤬 Just in case you don't remember what is REAL SLALOM WINDSURFING: ruclips.net/video/0-Y0qzNK_Ww/видео.html 🤩😍

Don’t know, mixed feelings about it should I say?? We’ll see

I love seeing some of the really old slalom races in big swells with massive jumps. Super cool. Not sure today's slalom boards could handle that sort of punishment.

in 5 years this format will be gone and then fin slalom will be dead.

They should make the jumps resemble sharks so they can literally and figuratively "jump the shark". I'm actually looking forward to it and hopeful that it will produce some exciting racing like boarder-x and skier-x did in the winter games.

The fin manufacturers will not be too happy with obstacles: Look closely at the fins they used to race with, compared with current carbon (straight) fins.

I think it's a bullshit format. Great that you guys like it. I understand why this was invented but it feels extremely gimmicky. But maybe I'm completely wrong and will like the format after seeing a few races.

key points!! ,you are the fucking Einstein of winsurf theory👏

I hope to visit soon

Sweet I'll go get a box or beers and start practicing.
