Hi Josep, great tutorial! I would like to add two other tips for people who are learning this move. These things helped me to learn the move: don't look at your feet, instead pick a point at the horizon in the direction you want to go. Secondly: it can be more easy when you move your bodyweight down when stepping aroud the mast, bend the knees and straigthen the arms. Keep practicing!
Great video! So it's old side 1) move back HAND forward 2) move back FOOT forward and new side 3) move back HAND backwards and 4) back FOOT backwards. I always struggle with the right moment to start the moves!
It's also a big mental game. The more times you fall in when tacking, the more you start thinking you are going to fall in. I really struggled with tacking.
I'm learning fast tacks at the moment (making about 1 in 10 on my shortboard), so thanks for making this video! Some other tutorials say grab the mast at the cut out with the front hand before jumping around, but your video shows boom-to-boom - what are advantages/disadvantages of each method? I've been trying with grabbing the mast, but boom-to-boom looks much cleaner to me.
Many thanks for this, very helpful

Thanks for your comment. You are right… both give you stability

With boom to boom you reduce the movements you have to do .
Josep do you do online video analysis from recorded videos on the fast tack to exclude wrong movements ?
Yes I do. Contact me by email (Ponstraining@gmail.com) or by WhatsApp 0034 686257410
