How to make Jibe on a Windsurf Board

Step 1:
Windsurf on a broad reach (angling with the wind behind you). Make sure you have plenty of speed before entering your turn.

Step 2:
Unhook from the harness (if you are wearing one), take your rear foot out of the strap, and place it on the leeward (downwind) rail.

Step 3:
Lean inward and forward, with slight pressure on your leeward rail, to start the board turning. Continue this carve throughout the jibe.

Step 4:
Release your rear hand from the boom to allow the clew to swing forward over the nose of the board when you reach a point in your carve where your nose is heading directly leeward. Your front hand acts as a pivot point for the sail to swing around. Grab the mast with it if it makes it easier.

Step 5:
Cross your rear hand over to grab the front position on your new boom (the opposite side of what you were just holding).

Step 6:
Adjust your front hand so that it becomes your new rear hand.

Step 7:
Sheet in on the sail and adjust your feet on your board to comply with your new heading. You should have turned a complete 180 degrees.

Using internet is simple as hell. But I can tell y ou right now, it can be very hard, if you are the first time user.
So, first thing I suggest – open the Explorer, and type in the address you like.
You’ll get there really fast, it depends on your connection speed.
Good luck.


I’ve gone ahead and bookmarked http://www.extremspor.net/2008/04/05/how-to-make-jibe-on-a-windsurf-board/ at Digg.com so my friends can see it too. I simply used Extremspor.net» Blog Archive » How to make Jibe on a Windsurf Board as the entry title in my Digg.com bookmark, as I figured if it is good enough for you to title your blog post that, then you probably would like to see it bookmarked the same way
