The sailor bends the front arm in this jibe, which lowers the mast-foot pressure, allows the nose to fly up and bounce and that's why this jibe is a "near" planing. Otherwise, close to perfect ABK technique. :)
To cbovet - jibes don't need to be quick in order to be planing. In fact, if you turn too quickly, you will almost always come off the plane and have trouble executing the turn. Gradual steady arc is the way to go.
Hey, just trying to learn the planing jibe myself...not much luck, so far!
I have trouble getting the board to go far enough downwind to jibe quickly -- is that why you lean the sail to leeward?? I thought that made the board turn upwind, as in a fast tack...
@cbovet7 Try holding the sail both leeward AND forward. The board will turn upwind if the sail is leaned toward the back of the board, and downwind when leaned forward. Make sure to hang on the boom and apply as much pressure through the mastbase as you do with your feet - keeping your weight forward on the leeward rail and off the fin will make a ton of difference. Keep it up!
planing carve gybes...-- most people find when they carve gybe that they slow at the end of the turn to get round this do a longer less sharp turn ... the curvature of your turn effects speed and so sharper carves result in non plaining carves where as the longer you make your turn the more likely you are to come out planing ^_^

@cbovet7 I had this problem but it was due to me not bearing away enough

if the board had 10 more litres it would be a complete planing jibe :P

perfect! just try to grab the boom further back and lower your butt at the end. See Guy Cribb's intuition.
