OK, I've been windsurfing on a frequent basis for almost 3 years now. For the last month and a half I've been sailing for hours in good wind nearly every day. You'd think I'd be able to gybe by now, right? I've had lessons, watched videos, read articles, watched good gybers in action...what's wrong with me???

I can make the occasional wobbly slow-motion gybe with about a dozen changes of hand position, but that doesnt really count.

Having just conquered waterstarts, I don't mind falling off so much now. In fact, I look forward to each waterstart...but the thrill is gonna wear off sooner or later and then I'll want to gybe more than ever.

HELP!!!!!

For the first time my beloved took some photos of me windsurfing yesterday. I was shocked on seeing them how bad my technique looked. I thought I was leaning into the turns, but it looks like I'm actually leaning backwards. Do I need more weight on front arm and leg to keep the board flat? I actually made it around 90% of the corners yesterday, I could post the shots immediately after these ones which show me sailing away from these gybes, and came out of a few of them fully planing, (flip that rig way earlier than what you think!), but it's weird to actually see yourself in action. A great learning tool if you can get someone to take some shots for you. Then compare them to magazine shots, or some of the ones on seabreeze, to realise what you need to do.
BTW, water like a bath, shorts, rashie and sunhat, fully powered on 6.5 with smooth water,
