5 Intermediate Windsurfing Tricks 

Is it me or was every top tip to “look into the rotation”? 😂

I cannot overemphasise the importance of non-planing sessions like this. As I started off sailing in a place with terrible wind by default I spent hours doing this sort of sailing. The benefits were immense. I keep telling my friends to do this in present day, but they sadly don't listen. A full planing backwind gybe is still one of the most satisfying transitions, and without doing the non-planing drills I'd have never done them. So get out there and have fun. The improvement in strength, balance and sail awareness is second to none. I hope everybody takes this advice! Better to do this than sail like a lawnmower on some big kit. Not always, but these you benefit more from.

Wind starts are important to be aware of and how to perform them correctly. Those descriptions were excellent and I have known them since 1979 when I primarily learnt the sport, but both the boards, sails and techniques have improved immensely making some of those water-starts far more easy to perform.

Great videography and clear explanations. Thanks!

Nice Will! thanks for sharing i cant wait to try this all.

Listen, this is the best helitack explanation i saw.

Thank you so much for these helpful tips 👍

these are great tips Will, very clear explanations too...thanks!

thanks for sharing，it really helps

Helpful🖐🏻🖐🏻🖐🏻 thanks Will

I like the rewinds you do mind explanation, very helpful!

Unbelievable. So simply explained. Need to try 2-5.

“Once you’ve mastered the helitack”. Lol

Thank you so much for THE best explainatiom fpr the helituck. I was able to do it first try today after i kept failimg at it because my teachers explained to me in a weird and way too simple way. Now I can do it as well with the others :D

Whoop! Duck tack 👌

0:20 HELITACK 2:28 UPWIND 360 3:35 BACKWINDED SAILING 4:40 SAIL BODY 360 5:37 DUCK TACK

Nice video and explanations, thanks! Hope to try the duck tack and sail/body 360 moves. For the helitack, I do slide my back hand back (my front hand slides back a little too), but for the upwind 360, I don't slide my hand back because don't need to for backwind control and it allows easier sheet out upon exit. I don't use a sail larger than 5.3 though

Благодарю

Very good!

I learned a lot. I will try it next time.😁😆😄

Thanks you very much for this clear and didactical vidéo! Question regarding body sail 360: After thé 360 are you ending up backwinded? And how are you continuing?

Hi Wills, what kit are you using? It that an RRD EasyRider or something else? I have a Fanatic Viper 80 and a Starboard Start. I have sailed back-winded many times, but the tacks look like fun!

Did you ever try the Gecko? it's one of ny favorite Light wind moves, because it feels very nice 🤠

Which sail you recommend to me to do with 130 liters board and 10 knots ?

Have a request. Can you do I video on the duck tack. Thanks

What size of the board you were using,I always was thinking about it,I am 170 pound average windsurfer,jibe.tuck (1on 10)on small (82l)board,jump,I try even loops (never landed any) and wanted to master tuck and learn few more maneuvers especially hellituck ,soon I am going to move to windy destination and wanna buy that kind of board,i guess it is 5.3 sail you use on the clip and you don’t go bigger on it and its working at 15-12 knots ? Regards Tomek

What size sail are you using in this video?

How did Sail-Body-360 help with your flaka?

i have been windsurfing for around 7 years on throughout my time windsurfing everybody was calling the sail body 360 „helicopter”
