NICE MAN!

Really good discussion on jibe technique. Carving too hard in a short radius turn can really kill your speed. A slow meandering jibe will also end up in slogging as there is little power in the sail when heading straight down wind. The sail actually stalls and slows you down. You have to find a balance between the two arcs and quickly find power in the new tack.

wildblue2, I agree!
My point was that he shouldn`t try to do everything at once... That rearly turns out well..
So I agree, you just explained it better than me! ;)

Yes ,sailing clew first for a bit on the exit and only changing your feet can make your jibes nearly failproof. It's all part of the step-jibe they now teach. You can even plane out of the jibe clew first if on a smaller powered up sail. HOWEVER, I recomend that you practice the foot switch when traveling straight downwind. Then carve into the new reach and flip the sail as quickly as possible. Every jibing situation is different , just find one that gives you the best speed throughout.

Nice one!!!

I had that problem before too but I think what did it for me was keeping as much speed up as I could. You need to keep the board as flat as you can by using loads of mast foot pressure which should help your speed and the faster you are going the more effect stepping on the rail should have. You can even dig the rail in a little more if you are going really fast and this should get you carving most of the way around.

Hi Ben.
I see you had problems with your carve jibe a few months ago..
You have possibly got it sorted by now? ;)
If not, here is a tip that might help:
DON`T turn the sail too early! Many riders try to do the footwork AND the sail at the same time. Don`t. Get your footwork sorted first (most of it anyway, wait a bit before you put your feet in the footstraps), sail CLEW first for a "millisecond" so that you keep the momentum going, THEN turn the sail and step back and in the straps
