WINDWISE 🌊 Gybing Drills Part 3 ‘EXECUTIVE BEACHSTART’ How to enhance your gybes with a quick easy win — literally low hanging fruit! Question? 1️⃣ How many times do you beach start? A lot right? 2️⃣ But are they brilliant ‘Executive’ beach starts? 3️⃣ Do you slow down or struggle with control on your gybe set ups? 4️⃣ Do you struggle making it out of, or planing out of, your gybes? Windwise Answer ✅ Upgrade, practice and develop a Windwise EXECUTIVE BEACHSTART. ✅ Blend the ethos, body position and actions into your gybe set ups and exits. At Windwise we use simple skills, like our EXECUTIVE BEACHSTART, to help you simulate, practice and ‘feel’ what you can and should be doing in more advanced areas of the sport. “Doing simple things really well to create ‘good habits’ literally speeds up your learning and in this case, your gybing too.” ⚡ WINDWISE EXECUTIVE BEACHSTART Yes, it’s ‘just a beachstart’, BUT the idea is to really accentuate the core gybing entry and exit skills and train the body to use it when it matters most. CORE SKILLS • Sunken 7 Stance: Super low, wide legged, heavily flexed rear leg & extended front leg. • Hanging low down off the boom simulating the beginning and end of a gybe. • Give it a few pumps to help the board accelerate. • Look forward — not at feet or rig. 👀 ‘WISE UP’ Why Do Them? It’s easy to do a lazy beach start, standing up head above the boom, no rear leg flex and just not getting down low. The same issues occur going into and out of gybes — all of which causes major problems. WISE WORDS 🤲 Wide hands + Light ‘Lego Grip’ 👀 LOOK forward 🦶 HEEL on deck, NOT a flat foot ⬇️ Super flex the rear leg ↔️ WIDE feet, low ‘Sunken 7’ stance 💨 PUMP the rig Can you spot the similarity of an ‘Executive BeachStart’ in a good low gybe entry set up and a low gybe exit?

WINDWISE 🌬️ Gybing Drills Part 2 ‘RIG@90 BEACHSTART’ 🏄‍♂️ I was once asked, what would you do if you were learning to gybe again 🤔 Answer 👉 ‘RIG@90 ’ beachstarts. They’re gybe training gold and continue on from our recent ‘BeachGybe’ exercise. At first they’re hard, but this exercise tells you very quickly where you’re going wrong in your gybe technique. Q. Why Do Windwise ‘Rig@90 ’ BeachStarts? A. If you’re… New to gybing & want to learn quickly Been gybing for years yet still not nailing them You make gybes, but don’t plane out What Exactly Is It - Don’t you mean ‘clew first’? Steer the board round into a beachstart with the sail ‘the opposite way round’ BUT rig is ‘held’ at ’90 DEGREES’ to the board Come up on a very broad reach - RIG@90 - rotate the sail whilst downwind Simulates turning the board & improves rig handling and vision post foot change Trains the importance of rotating a rig downwind - never across the wind Trains you to keep and release the sail ‘Rig@90 ’ degrees to the board heading downwind ** NOT ‘Clew First’ across the wind on a beam reach ** WISE WORDS ** For non-planing gybes, sail downwind ‘Rig@90 ’ after the foot switch, get steady and then rotate the rig ** For planing exits, ‘Rig@90 ’ is only for a split second — early foot change (dead downwind) and as soon as the new front foot hits the deck, release the clew hand Repeat, repeat and repeat 🔁 until you can do them planing COMMENT: ‘RIG@90 ’ and Email 📧 [email protected] We’ll send you a Windwise PDF with more info.
