First time this year without a wetsuit! Felt great. Lots of jibe practice on my 169L Carve with a 8.5 Ezzy Lion. Wind steady 15 with gusts. Great to see the beach taken over by windsurfing gear!
Jibes are getting better! Remember to move your back hand down the boom 5 or 6 inches before you start to carve and stay sheeted in more!~ You're spilling a lot of power if you don't stay sheeted in. Looking good out there! 👍🤙
Yes, need to sheet in to keep my power going...been a point I have been thinking about as I jibe and not to lean back either. I'll keep at it for sure. SO MUCH FUN! Thanks as always for watching and the encouragement.
@@gusthunter8780 You are right on the doorstep of planing through the jibes! Just remember... SPEED is vital to planing through the turns. The more speed the better! Move your Back hand down the boom a bit and sheet in... Knees bent, Keep your weight leaning more towards the nose of the board as you carve. I would say you should even try to exaggerate that part more than you think you need to because it helps to keep the board flatter, thus you don't sink the tail. This also helps to keep the board planing through the turn because your weight is "centered" over the middle of the board not over the tail of it. Keep the mast a bit more away from your body as you carve and sheet in.Then you just need to time the sail flip and bingo, you're off. Keep grinding!!! 👍🏄🤙
Great job on the jibes! Keeping your jibes dry is a huge energy saving! BTW, I already went through 2 Insta360 X2: First one was dead on arrival. They replaced it. The second one didn't withstand immersion and died because a bit of moisture entered the poorly engineered USB port seal. I literally had 2 sessions before this thing died. Unless they send me a new one, I won't buy this thing again!
Wow! My insta x3 has been reliable, and taken some good crashes. Another friend had similar issues with the X2. I dodged the bullet on that one. Sorry you have had issues. Yes, dry jibes are nice!
It is in Tierra Verde, FL. It is not a named beach but just an access of the road. I do like the Carve better, and happy about that since it costs $1000.00 more. It was worth the money in my opinion. I don't have an 8.5 Severne, just an old Ezzy Lion, like 2016 i think. My Severnes are 9.2 and 8.1. Here is a link to find 75 cents and other spots in Tampa Bay: tbwindsurfing.com/
