I remember when I started looking up where I wanted to go, it all suddenly clicked into the gear, and became a game changer. The other thing was getting lower bending knees and driving the rig around with wide hands.
👍👍👍
I don't do all of these all of the time, but I definitely do all of these some of the time (especially getting my hand back and not getting neutral over the board)! I've been wondering if I've been missing something by not over-sheeting sail, so I'm glad to hear that's not another element I need to worry about right now. Thanks for another great video!
🤙🤙🤙
A key point maybe for another video is the front hand. If you don't move it forward towards the mast prior to the ring flip you're in for a hard time.
Key point for sure… will look more at the rig flip in another video soon.
Thanks
was wondering if you could make a video dedicated to light wind maneuvers?
Including tacks, heli tacks and chicken- jibes on smaller 85ish ltr fsw boards in none planing conditions?
maneuvers wave sailors use all the time to catch a good incoming set or when have to chicken out.
that would be awesome!
Nice idea! 👍
Happy to find you with a little help from Nils Bach. I just hit the subscribe-button 😉 Better late than never. Greetings from Hamburg
Thanks for watching!
awesome video Cookie. Thanks!
🤩🤩🤩
Thanks, that was super helpful! I'm ready to give it another try.
👍👍👍
Great Video Cookie. Something to work on this weekend!!
👍👍👍
Great video Cookie. Def guilty of stamping the foot !
👍👍👍👍
Although i think i know what should be done, fysically doing it, is a different story. Thx for highlighting the common faults. What i still find difficult to time is the sail flip in respect to the wind. Do you already have a movie in which this is explained? Would be very much appreciated.
This is a goldie… I’ve got a new video coming soon on the rig flip! 👍
Top tips 👍 made 50% of my gybe’s today. Significantly better than my usual 10%. Some weren’t the prettiest but a definite step in the right direction. Cheers 🍻
Great news! 👍👍👍
@@Cookiesports even better today only swam on 2. Seems finally to have sunk in! Just got to improve speed on exit now - drop and push!
Oh, maybe you can add carve fascination! The feeling is so good you just want to keep carving (into a heap!)
🤣 sounds like it’s time to learn downwind 360!
I'd love a video with tips on gybing freerace or slalom boards with bigger twin cams in chop ( 7.2m - 7.5m)
Same tips! Don’t over thing the mix-up on kit choices. 🤩🤩
Won't that combo bounce around more if you don't pull down into the boom as you gybe?
@@horsemadf1no! 🤩
To me, the hardest parts of jibing are the foot switch and the rig flip. I tend to wait too long before switching my feet. I guess I feel uncomfortable with switching my feet until the board is no longer on a plane or just about to fall off a plane. Of course, there's no way to plane through a jibe if you wait that long. The rig flip is another problem area for me. I've found that it's very important to keep the rig upright and balanced over the board while flipping it. I tend to let the mast lean downwind during the flip and that usually makes the board round up into the wind and often makes me fall. I think what you said about keeping your eyes off of the rig and instead looking ahead to where you want to go is helpful. I've been trying to do that lately and it's helping. I'm a notorious "gear gazer"!!! I don't think you mentioned this, but it's also very good to slide your front hand on the boom all the way to the mast before flipping the sail. I think that helps keep the rig from pulling you off balance while flipping.
Slide you front hand, always and for sure- I defienlty do that in all the gybes here and talk about it a lot in other videos. Timing in an interesting one... because you could change your feet super late, or the rig really late and still plane out... you just need to be in a slightly different position with things to make it work. All the gybes in this video have their differences... defiantly not the same.. but good speed on them all!
Great footage Cookie.
You flip the sail very late. 🤷♂
I thought early rig flips might have been helping me. Now i am keen to try the very late flip too.
There is no such thing as “the right time” to make the right decision flip… mix it up, and be ready to adapt and change the timings depending on the gybe is going. 👍
More awesome advice! Looking forward to running through this with you in Vasiliki later in the summer. I definitely do all these things from time to time. In Most recently, from watching other gybing videos, I’ve started leaning over the rail into the turn, while counterbalancing with the rig outside of the turn. Which is now wrong it seems 🤯 This approach seems to work, unless I’m in heavy chop when I get absolutely slammed doing this technique 😂 The other thing is my foot change - it’s either glacially slow, or if I do it fast, so inaccurate I’ve actually started planing back the other way sometimes 🤣 Occasionally though, everything comes together by some fluke, and I’m so very close to a fully planing gybe 🤙
Hi!
Hope you’re all booked up with me for this summer… calendar filling up steadily!
Counterbalance with body and rig definitely helps… but maybe you’re going too far resulting in being unbalanced!
“Neutral in the middle”… but still counter balancing, especially after the rig flip.
@@Cookiesportsthanks I’ll practice that 👌 Booked with you for when you have time the first week of July. Looking forward to it!
@@alanpods2 Yes you have! Great! see you here soon! I'll keep the beer cold in the meantime!
Another good one cookie! You snuck 2 gybes in which I utilize quite often, but you did not discuss in the video. I would like to see you do a video on it. Namely, you did a smooth sail flip, and then switched your feet. Or, flip the sail and sail away switch foot and do the foot switch after being on plane after the gybe. Thoughts?
I’m going to re-do this old video and take it further… but I think it’ll answer your question a little 🤩
Thanks

Gear gazing for me!
Careful with those feet though, of course you are doing it super quick, but the recommended procedure is front foot heel to back foot toe (so front foot in front of back foot). For the benefit of your audience: this keeps you forward over the board and helps prevent stalling from the trim getting unbalanced. Particularly important with short boards in less than perfect conditions. Sorry, been living and breathing this stuff as I chase the elusive planing exit (on small kit).
Feet change is another topic I’ll chat through soon… I utilise and number of foot changes in this video- all result in planning smooth exits.
A few gybes in the video it was needed to step further back, others forward, most involved a slight shuffle and adjustment after the first step change.
Come to Vassiliki and well do some coaching together and nail your speedy exits
@@Cookiesports Vassiliki is on my bucket list! Rather hard to get to from where I am (Portugal), but hopefully I'll make it one day.
I feel like I’m going into the gybe ok but I get to the mid point and always seem to run out of power then just do a quick rig flip and finish the last part not planning. Sometimes I go full power and look round the front of the mast (like a lay down style ) or I gradually open the sail and look through it. Either way I’m very close to full planning but can’t seem to finish that last step !
You sound like what I’m describing… “my entrance fine but mid point is the problem”… I’d wager if we change and adapt you from the start of the gybe you’ll still have power and speed under control at the midpoint. 👍
One reply was talking about pushing the rig flip. I get that occasionally with my twin cam 7.5m sail in light to moderate winds / flatwater.
Entering the gybe I get backwinded and need to push the sail away from me pre flip . I assume that's because I'm going faster than the wind?
Could be... or could more likely one the position of the sail when you start the gybe. Perfect time for some on-line or face-2-fact coaching to work out why thats happening
You've given me a lot to think about, thanks Cookie. I'm always trying the hard carving power gybe style and it all looks and feels good through to the middle, but then it's all so hectic with the foot change and rig flip that I'm very unbalanced. I need to calm it all down, although if I don't oversheet the board will bounce around won't it? My changed feet were also too far forward, so I've been getting thrown out the front.
No… it’s not necessary to over sheeting into race/laydown style to stop the board bouncing.
Thanks for watching
@@Cookiesports Maybe what I call oversheeting, you might look at and say no, that's just keeping the sail powered? If you don't keep the sail powered through the gybe in choppy water then you'll bounce around surely? Just trying to get my head around it. I normally sail very well powered up and if I don't have the back hand well back and concentrate on sheeting in hard, it feels like I'm out of control at the start of the gybe.
@@simongodfrey3765 it's not as black & white as you're making it sound... i could give you an answer here- but then I see you windsurf and the answer will change. Sounds to me like you need face-2-face coaching. It's all about the right tip at the right time- and not knowing you or having seen you sail I can't give you the right tip. No-one can, until the see you sail, or sail with you.
You are flipping the sail super late. You actually go clue first for a second before you flip the sail. Is it something you recommend for the beginning?
Yes and no! Depends on many factors. Subject for another video.
In the meantime try it out!
Hi Cookie, thanks for making another great video. I noticed that when you do your foot change, your new back foot goes behind the old back foot. I’ve seen a lot of people recommend heel to toe as the “proper technique “. Can you elaborate on that? Also while going through the carve, is there any pull in the sail? If not, do you physically push it to flip?
Thanks in advance 🤙
Depends on a number of things as to how I change my feet… look through the video you’ll see they’re not all the same foot change.
But main goal is still to keep the board carving smooth.
@@Cookiesports thank for the reply. What about the sail flip? Do you push the sail to initiate the flip, or is it still powered up?
@@Westcoastwindsurf This video will help the rig flip... ruclips.net/video/cywwVfpYGaU/видео.html
definetly don't need to push it... but use the original front hand to guide it.
Another video coming on this soon.
Great video .. spell check ..solution not soloution 😂😂
Great spot! Clearly the animation program I’m using doesn’t have spellcheck! 🤣
my bigest problem is "catching" the bom again when i try yo rotat the sail. Did manage to get my first and second gybe ever today tho ! :) not wery nice, not on the plane all trouh, but i was in heaven anyway :D
Learn the disco move! 🕺
I’m going to update this video soon… but it’s a good’un for you!

Make sure you slide the masthand up to the mast before you flip.
Great video!
I am too aggressive with the foot pressure, gybe too sharply and stand up after the rig flip. If I'm super powered in chop and scared of the speed I bend the front arm, lean back and kill all speed.
I find I can't hold the power as I enter then.
I'm better with sub planing gybes. My board is long and narrow with sharp rails so it shows up errors.
I've been out in lighter winds recently on a 125ltre ( 60ltres over my weight) and felt my legs absorbing the chop for the first time ever. Now I need to be able to do that powered on smaller gear in bigger chop.🙄
Larger boards are a big help... planing or non-planing... you're far more likely to improve your gybes on a 125 lt board than on a 90!
I findbig boards too tiring and scary in chop.
I'm about the only fin sailor left on our lake. Everyone else is foiling due to our patchy winds and messy sometimes large chop.🙄
I have found the 125ltre great for practise in up to 14kts although that's generally subplaning.
if you do the ldg and you hear the back of the sail touching the water, then pull it back up🤙
If the sail hits the water pull it back up. Seems logical! 👍
I tend to get the board leaning forward too much. That's why it sometimes slips out of my hand since it catches too much wind. Gear gazing is my biggest mistake, I think. Not sure how to get rid of it, though.
Board leaning forward too much? Maybe you mean rig?
Before I do the foot change I focus hard to the clew of the sail, and the exit direction
@@Cookiesports Yeah, meant to say "rig". Tried to look to the exit intently today, and I managed to get through three or four jibes planing, not fully flying, but still with drive from the foil. Thank you.
I realized that I am not even gear watching. I am just staring straight ahead while trying to concentrate on what I am doing with my hands and feet :)
Hello, I think I do everything right at the beginning but I always stop right in the middle of the jibe, as if the board didn't want to continue turning.
thank you very much for your videos,
Interesting to see you gybes on videos or face-2-face... like in the intro- many people think it's the foot change or rig flip- but actually went wrong from the start! ...
Having said that I've got foot change and rig flip videos coming soon!
