Sandy Point, Jan 18, 2000. My brother took these, there is one of him somewhere here too.
So, How I try to Jibe, getting
setup, unhooking from the harness lines and looking for the point to set up the
jibe
initiating
a jibe, keeping the hands on the STEERING WHEEL!
KEEPING THE KNEES IN A BENT
SPRINGING POSITION TO ABSORB CHOP.
LEAN INTO THE TURN
half way through, starting to pull and throw, with the mast tilted into the turn so that
it can almost support itself with the centrifugal force from the speed of the turn
catching the other boom and preparing to bear off keeping the board planeing and not turning upwind too much,
keeping it over 90° to the wind- or still broad reaching,
being careful to not leave too much weight on the tail, sheeting in and not lose
speed
two
views- How speed is lost when not planeing thru the arc
Late
catching the other boom preparing to bear off and turned upwind too much, too
much weight on the tail,
