That duck gybe was not only perfectly performed but described very well also and in good timing with the same. Although the turning movement is also known as a tack on a boat and it is easier to perform on that size of a craft than it is on a Windsurfer it's simply because one would be sitting in the hull of the boat and therefore wouldn't need to duck as low as the rig is swinging across the stern of the craft and the haul lines are more accessible to cup the sail than the Wishbone is on a Windsurfer is whilst one reaches under the rig to grasp the wishbone on the other side of the sail and draw it in sufficiently to recup the sail and remain in motion.
The most important thing - start duck the sail early! This is big difference between carv or power gybe. Keep practicing. Thanks for another great video!
Perfect tutorial, thanks a lot! I did some basic things wrong for a long time after trying to learn them pre-youtube time and now I can finally do them right!
I got traumatized by this trick. I tried in a few years ago, I was just a beginner but it seemed way cooler than simple jibes... I did my jibe way too early, way before having the wind in the back. Result, when I passed my sail on the other side, the wind took on the wrong side and the mast hit my forehead...
Funny I did my first duck gybe 20 something years ago at the Gorge. And very occasionally successful since. Now I crash every time. Nowadays only sail every few weeks. Best to watch videos and get it in your head.
Actually it's easier than we think it is when we start trying. In my humble opinion, it's all about timing. Flip the sail before the moment you use to flip for the regular gybe. If you can't reach the boom close to the mast because it gets too far, then you've flipped it too late, but If the sail pulls you out of the board, then you did it too early. If you flip at the right moment, the boom comes right to your hand and the rest goes naturally.

my favourite move. It is such a great feeling everytime you get it done right and plane through :-)
