Re-watching these wonderful clips, I realise that although I am planing out quite often now (in ideal conditions), my arc is wider than it should be, making the whole process longer particularly when conditions are less than ideal. I need to drive forwards and downwards more on bent knees and soft ankles to get the rail to really bite once the board has begun its turn. Then I need to anticipate how much faster the board will turn once I'm doing that and be ready for much earlier foot change and rig flip. Onwards and inwards!
In particular, thinking about this, the tighter arc is really important as I go down to smaller boards like eg 100l FSW. If I do my normal wide-board gybe on that then it loses all of its speed before I get to the new tack. That's why I make so many fewer good exits on the narrower board when the wind gets up, I think.
OMG... I found an aspect no one else seems to telling you about the planning gybe. When putting the back hand back i always thought it is to keep power in the sail, but its the complete opposite to hide the sail from the wind? That would explain why i get stop from wind blowing against me an stop the board. I should watch more accient videos😅
