    JEM HALL: CRACK THE PLANING CARVE GYBE
    JEM HALL: CRACK THE PLANING CARVE GYBEJEM HALLMOVE ONUP WINDSURFING TECHNIQUECRACK THE PLANING CARVE GYBEMOVE ON UP: JEM HALL CRACK THE PLANNING CARVE GYBEJem Hall uses the knowledge imparted from the planing tack and duck gybe to help you crack the holy grail the planing carve gybe.Words: Jem Hall // Photos: Eye Sea YouThis month we look at the planing carve gybe, which will see you calling upon the skills, and tips, I highlighted in my earlier articles on both the planing tack and duck gybe. I will present my top tips at each phase of the gybe, that you can work on as you look to unlock one of the most aspirational moves in our sport. These phases consist of; preparation, carving, mid-gybe, active exit, and planing out. You can work on and look to improve each phase individually and then when you tie them all together you will be flying out of your gybes in no time. PREPARATION All of the above phases are key, but the preparation phase is the one that gives you that crucial aspect that you must possess when you enter a gybe, especially if you want to have any chance of planing out speed. Take speed in, and you will inevitably be able to come out of a gybe with speed too. All the phases need power and precision, but along with the planing exit, the preparation phase places the most pressure on your physicality, so, as ever, the fitter and stronger you are, the better you will be at entering gybes at speed, which again means youll have a higher chance of planing out.Below is a quick refresh of some of the technique for this phase from my Preparation piece from June 2015, and the update of this from March 2023, aptly entitled, Better Gybing. Back, Back, Back: Get your front hand back to help you get your backhand back, and when the back foot comes out of the strap, it should be placed next to the back strap (mid-board), and then slid all the way over to the rail for carving after you have scissored the board to gain speed. Bend to Unhook: Bend your back leg and ONLY bend your elbows to unhook. This keeps you low and out so you can maintain speed once unhooked. Get Speed: After your H.U.F. (hands back, unhook, foot out of back strap) prep, stay out so you can scissor the board downwind in order to increase your speed, and thereby lighten the sail, so you can go with it. The board remains flat and it is the pushing with your front leg, and pulling with your back leg, that performs this. Comfy with Discomfort: Get used to going fast over the back of chop and you will eventually become accustomed to the technique, and mindset, required to take speed into your carving.Work on this phase A LOT! You can even work on it before you can actually gybe. Just do it and then head upwind and jump in the sea, or try a tack. This makes you focus on your prep and speed.CARVINGStrangely enough the name carve gybe makes you think you will be carving throughout most of the move, yet the initial carve is over in a flash. This phase takes your prep speed and allows you to drive forward and engage the rail, so you can lock the board into a carve and maintain momentum. My main tips here are: Mini Catapult: To get from sailing outboard in the scissoring phase, to driving forward to carve, you have to go with the sail and this is best done by tipping the rig slightly forward and across you with the front hand, and sheeting in a little on the back foot. This pulls you forward and then you really have to go with it. Extend and Bend: As you go with it aim to really extend your front arm to lock the board down and bend your ankles and knees to engage the rail. Feel the Front Foot: Look to get some pressure on the front foot even if only briefly. Not Too Much: Having the backhand back sheets the rig in just enough, dont try and really sheet it in, nor lay it down, as this will make the mid-gybe phase waaaaay harder.MID GYBEThis occurs when the board is going dead downwind and it really is all change here. Repeat, feel and perform these actions: See the Sea, See the Clew: You are looking to see the sea, by driving the rig forward and going with it, and then mid-gybe, it is all about opening the sail and moving your hips across. This is best achieved by shifting your vision to actually see the clew. Backhand back really assists this action. Extend and Bend: What? Again? Yes indeed, extend those arms and really bend your back leg, like you are moving your back knee towards the water. Licking the boom is really not de-rigueur at this stage! Out and Across: Seeing the clew will help you get your rig out and thereby your hips can move across to the inside of the gybe. This lightens your front foot so it is ready to complete the foot change.ACTIVE EXITThis is the phase where I see most people become passive, rather than active, and yet by being dynamic, it is the area where you can manipulate a slower gybe into a planing one. It requires plenty of physicality, excellent vision and definitely no gear gazing. These are my tips: Take it: If your hips have moved across, and you are low mid-gybe, then they are ready to take some power clew-first. Believe me here, you need to sail clew-first out of the gybe, but as you improve your gybes you can look to execute an earlier rig flip. This will give you some exit speed and also put you in a position to carve it out. It will also give you time to slide. Extend and Bend: Have your arms extended and back leg very bent as you take it. Time to Slide: When clew-first pull down on the clew hand, so the mast hand becomes lighter, so you then have the time to slide it to the front of the boom. This will give you a more efficient rig rotation as you move to the next action. Carve it Out: This part is huge. Many carve into a gybe, yet few carve out! If you are low and outboard with your new back foot near the rail, then you are in an awesome position to carve out on your heels, as you send the rig back. This gets you back across the wind, so you can grab the rig with less danger of catapulting. Look and Go Under: As you carve out of the gybe, it is so important to be out, low and looking forward as then your old backhand can reach under and grab the new side of the boom with an overhand grip.PLANING OUTYou will have honed plenty of core skills from looking to plane out of tacks, and duck gybes, so now it is time to use these. If you have come out of the gybe with some momentum then it will be much easier to get the board back to planing speed. You are looking to make the transition between coming out of the gybe moving and then getting planing to become relatively seamless. Again, you can practice this getting planing skill by learning to plane from the front strap and then hooking in afterwards. This can be worked on after a waterstart, tack, duck gybe, gybe or wave catch etc. The main tips here are: Throw Rig Forward: Once you have the rig on the new side throw it forward, and let the boom slip through your fingers so your front hand is beside the front line. This is covered in my Handy Hints piece from June 22. Get Down James Brown: Extending (your arms) and bending (your back leg), together with a relatively narrow grip really gives you the maximum power from the rig. These actions will catch more wind, allowing you to drive the board forward through a straight front leg, while really pulling down on the boom. Strap it Up: Take this momentum and get in that front strap first. Hooking in too early risks a fall, is lazy, and stalls the sail. Two or One? If it is windy and you are coming out with plenty of power then I suggest getting in both the front and back straps before hooking in. With less power, go for just the front strap until you get up to speed. Stable Hook: From the strap(s), you can then look to plane relatively far off the wind, and then come back across the wind to hook in. Your rig likes you to hook in and out across the wind, so be nice to her.Ezzy Sails, RRD (boards, wetsuits & softwear), Chinook & Black Project Fins sponsor Jem Hall.

    GO BIG OR GO HOME: TIMO MULLEN
    GO BIG OR GO HOME: TIMO MULLENGO BIG OR GO HOME: TIMO MULLENTimo Mullen headed to Newgale, Wales at the weekend and despite the light winds managed to get out epic logo high waves thanks to the mighty Duotone 118L GRIP/3 Thruster and 5.7m D/LAB sail! The question waswould he be able to shred the waves on such big kit in such maginal winds?Words and photos: Timo MullenTimo MullenSize matters!So, Im no longer a grom light weight anymore, by a very long way, a few decades and a lot of KGs away unfortunately!! A lot of the new grom rippers weigh in at below 75kg, so when you see these guys ripping up perfect glassy waves you kind of forget there is pretty much no wind, maybe 10-14 knots! I weigh in these days between a fighting weight of 85kg and a sofa surfing weight of 90kg! So even though Im probably in the pro windsurfing world classified as a heavy weight, I would say that is pretty standard weight for the majority of the modern-day male windsurfers.I love light wind wave riding! I guess wave sailing mostly in Ireland and Cornwall you have to like it, as the spots with the cleanest waves tend to also be in the spots that are most sheltered from the wind and generally light cross offshore conditions. Ive therefore become a bit of a guru on Big wave boards, my brother weighs in at 95-100kg so we tend to share what we like most about these types of boards. I think in light winds I have an advantage over say a 70kg guy, as with my weight I can in my opinion hold down a board with bigger rails and have no issue riding a bigger board than say a lighter guy who will struggle with anything more than say 5L more than their body weight.THE GRIP 3 118LId say my most used boards would be my Duotone 107L Grip 4, but even with such a big board, I have noticed on the super light wind days that it has its limit, where maybe the Wing Foil guys are starting to edge you out of set waves. So, when I saw that Duotone had put into production a massive 118L Grip 3 Thruster in the mega lightweight D/Lab construction, I put my name down straight away for delivery of one of these Aircraft Carriers!! I dont think I have sailed a board this big since I quit wind foiling, so the idea of hitting some lips with this board was kind of an unknown.Primarily, I bought the board for the summer months, when we get a lot of flat bump and jump days, as well as the odd jumping days at the local reefs with my Duotone 5.7 D/Lab sail. So I took delivery of this board last week, and out of curiosity, I chucked it in the van for a dubious forecast for wind and waves at a beach break on the West coast of Wales called Newgale. To be honest, I was pretty sure Id be using my trusty 107L Grip 4 Quad, but on arrival at the beach, it was clear the wind was at the lower end of the 12-16 knot forecast. Perfect opportunity to test out the 118L beast!!I set up my board the same way I would set up my smaller 95L Grip 3, back strap at the back inserts, front straps one from the front, so quite a wide stance. The board looks very short with a lot of the volume packed in around the middle of the board and the nose, the tail was still pretty normal size, so I knew it should turn pretty good! On launching, there was way less wind than I thought and a lot more swell, maybe head to logo high on the bigger sets and a quite heavy inside section. Basically going off if you could catch one!! Getting out through the break still required some skill as you still had to balance and generate wind in your sail to punch over the bigger sets, but once out the back, I was able to easily work my way into any wave I wanted.During my first few waves, I wasnt really prepared for the extra volume in my rails but after 2-3 waves, I soon realised that if you generated enough speed down the line, that volume and thickness from the mast track forward helped to hit some good aerials and land smoothly. I reckon I had a few of my best aerials in conditions normally reserved for either surfing or very marginal winging! I love winging, but it is not even a patch on wave sailing, so if there is a chance to ditch the wing, I will take it!! This board was outside of my allocated sponsored rider allocation, so I had to lay down the $$ for this board, so was it a worthwhile investment? Oh yes!! Suddenly thanks to this set up, Windguru 1* forecasts are nowfirmly on my radar!https://www.duotonesports.com/en/uk/windsurfing/boardsThe post GO BIG OR GO HOME: TIMO MULLEN appeared first on Windsurf Magazine.

    TAKARA ISHII: NEW DIRECTION
    TAKARA ISHII: NEW DIRECTIONTAKARA ISHII: NEW DIRECTIONTakara Ishii, one of the most talented sailors to emerge from Japans strong contingent of young sailors has just joined the Goya family. Already known for charging big waves, his extreme motivation and his competition prowess, it seems like Takara will be a perfect fit in the Goya Team! We hear from Takara as well as Francisco Goya about the newcollaboration!Photos: Kota KawanakaTAKARA ISHIII am super happy about joining Goya, I sailed with RRD for long time so it feels a bit strange to move brands, but at the same time I know what an amazing team Goya is. They are very welcoming, so I am stoked to be with them.At RRD I used a thruster and four batten set up, so in the beginning, the Goya equipment, especially the board felt quite different. But I have already used the Goya custom quad 68L and Banzai Surf pro carbon at Hookipa and Omaezaki and I am loving them. Every single time I ride the board, I feel new amazing things. As for the sails they are just incredible!When I was younger, I used to watch Jason Polakows videos of Jaws and straight away I knew I wanted to windsurf there. After spending a lot of time in Maui over many years, I finally felt ready to ride that wave. I like pushing the limit with my windsurfing. My main focus is to become windsurfing world champion, but I also want to start charging Jaws! That wave is special!I rode Jaws for the first time two years ago! I had done a lot of training before I went up there, I learned to properly ride a Jet Ski, I went on water safety courses and also did breathing training! I knew if I went to sail Jaws, I wanted to hit the lip at some point, so I just focussed on all the safety precautions I could. I also sailed a lot of spots with the PWA and IWT tours which helped me a lot.It will be amazing to work with Keith Teboul, hes best shaper I know and it will be a pleasure to work with him, especially for my Jaws boards!Having so many great characters at Goya such as Marcilio Browne, Levi Siver, Francisco Goya and Jason Polakow is really motivating for me! In 2025 I compete on the wave tour mainly and windsurf as big waves as I can!QUICKFIRE QUESTIONSDate of Birth: 2001/01/13Height: 175cmWeight: 60kgFav Move: Goiter and Push Forwards!Rider you most admire? Marcilio Browne and Kauli Seadi.Fav windsurfing wave and why? Hookipait is always super funFav Movie? Wild Speed!Dream car or van? 44 truck!!What are your strengths and weaknesses?I love riding waves and jumping but I need more control especially with the double forward.What motivates you?My passion is to windsurf!What is the highlight of your career so far?IWT Japan 1st , PWA Cabo Verde 6th!Are you a fan of social media?Not really, it can be good but I dont like a lot of it!Three words to live by? Love myself and others!FRANCISCOGOYAWelcome to the Goya Windsurfing family, Takara Ishii, J-20My relationship with the Ishii family goes back to the early 90s, during my first trip to Japan. We were launching Quatro in Omaezaki, where I met Hisa (Takaras dad), Matsui, Tomo, Shinjo, Taka, and others, leading a new generation of Japanese riders. Its incredible to think how long its been since we saw such a strong wave of emerging youth and talent in Japan now, with Motoko, Takuma, Takara, Ryu, and Hyata all currently in the top 24 of the world rankings. Today, Japan has one of the strongest and youngest fleets on tour.What inspires me most about Takara is his mature approach on land, paired with his fearless and countless hours on the water charging the biggest sections, going for massive moves, from Hookipa to Jaws while also competing at the top level in Chile, Canaries, the Aloha, and of course Japan. As we started reconnecting over a year ago, we also reached out to Hisa, who, along with Matsui-san and Tomo-san, lead ONs distribution in Japan. They share an incredible passion for organizing events, from youth competitions to five-star World Cup events. Naturally, this made our collaboration in distribution a perfect fit, as we have so many things in common.Watching how the energy evolves and transcends with purpose from the water to the business worldwide feels amazing, all while seeing the new generation driving the sport forward and showing the world what is possible. Were honoured to welcome Takara Ishii to the team his passion for windsurfing, combined with his familys rich heritage and lifelong dedication, feels like a natural move for everyone.Wishing you a great ride and year, Takara. We look forward to many sessions together.GOYA WINDSURFINGThe post TAKARA ISHII: NEW DIRECTION appeared first on Windsurf Magazine.

    NO RISK, NO REWARDSYLT ON FIRE!
    NO RISK, NO REWARD...SYLT ON FIRE!NO RISK, NO REWARDSYLT ON FIRE!While many sailors were waiting for their equipment or busy rigging, Antoine Martin and Leon Jamaer snuck under the radar and scored an epic session on registration morning at the Sylt, PWA World Cup!Photos:Carter/pwaworldtour.comLEON JAMAERI woke up early that day. I was obviously getting ready for the world cup. When I arrived at the beach the North Sea was on fire already. It was nuclear winds and the tide was coming up. The wave were pumping already. Normally, Sylt is best at high tide and around three hours before and after. That is when the waves are the biggest and the shore break is the heaviest. I knew the morning was going to be the golden slot for scoring.ANTOINE MARTINThe season was pretty stacked this year. Before Sylt, I was in La Runion working on my project YLEM. Shortly after Sylt, I planned to spend a week in Guadeloupe before heading straight to Maui for the Aloha Classic.Usually, when you travel from far away and arrive in Hamburg, you have a couple of options for getting to Sylt with your gear. You can either load your gear onto a big truck at the airport, organized, scheduled, and paid for by the event organizers and then take the train, or you can rent a car at your own expense and make the trip alone or with other riders. Most riders take the train, but I decided to rent a car in Hamburg and avoid leaving my gear in the truck. I wanted the freedom to move around.Somehow, epic conditions arrived right during registration. I quickly signed up for the contest and headed out to sail. Unfortunately for most of the fleet, the truck was delayed that day, so many riders couldnt go on the water early, except for a few locals, like Leon, who brought their own cars.I couldnt believe it. For a while, it was just the two of us out there, which is so rare because at every event, no matter the location, the water is always packed with windsurfers.LEON JAMAERIt was pretty chaotic with rain and howling wind. I went to the tent to prepare my equipment and Antoine Martin was also in the tent rigging. Antoine was motivated to go in for the early session. So, we both rigged and headed to the beach before any of the other sailors were on it.We ended up having an incredible session.In the sets it was probably three to four metres in height. At first there was a lot of rain and it was pretty hectic but then once the high tide had passed, it cleaned up and there were some epic sets coming in. There were some waves that were not ridable, but when the good ones came through, it was pretty amazing. There were some clean sections with steep faces. It was a sick session. Just about as good as it gets at Sylt.ANTOINE MARTINMan, we all know the shore break in Sylt is intense! The beach has a few sandbanks, but its mostly straight, so the swell often comes in directly facing the beach. That makes it tough to handle on its own, but the worst part isnt just the strong shore break its the current and the onshore wind. That combination makes it even harder. When its light wind, onshore, and wavy with a strong current, I think Sylt might have the most challenging shore break in the world. I never, ever think about injuries during a session, so I was charging full power!LEON JAMAERBoth myself and Antoine are sailors that go hard whenever we sail so we were not holding back. If I was on my own I might have taken a bit more time to start pushing it but with Antoine there we were both going for big moves from the word go.When you see Antoine busting out wave 360s and nailing huge back loops I knew I hard to go hard, even though it was the day before competition. He was really going to hit the steep vertical sections so I also tried that. It was nice to have another sailor out there and not be fully on my own. A few freestylers also came out but they were more focussed on the flat part of the wave.It was pretty intense sailing and not very user friendly. There was a tonne of current, chop on the waves and the shore break was breaking top to bottom. If you missed a section by a split session, there were some pretty intense beatings and I had some big swims after my gear. It was quite exhausting and taxing on the body. But when you timed a 360 right in some of those steep sections it was a really satisfying feeling.It reminded me of Atlantic swells with big clean faces but in Sylt we only getting one of the epic sets every ten minutes or so. When you got one of these it definitely did not feel like Sylt. For a brief second the waves felt a little bit like Maui, aside from the weather and the colour of the wave.ANTOINE MARTINI had mixed feelings. No matter the spot, its always incredible to sail in the best conditions a location can offer. But I was also sad that we didnt compete on that day. Theres nothing more frustrating than competing in low-average conditions. Even though we managed to finish the event and I got a good result, I wasnt fully satisfied. I always aim to compete in the best conditions, even if they dont necessarily suit me.Leon absolutely pushed me to go harder. Hes such a big ripper! Watching him sail motivates me to be as good as him or better. I believe there wasnt a sense of rivalry nor competition that day between us, but having someone close by to push the limits is always a bonus. You could feel the joy and excitement we both shared while sailing together. I had as much fun watching him as I did sailing myself.LEON JAMAERI was riding an 87L Flikka board and it was ripping. It was just working perfect. I made a few alterations with the fins and it was working just the way I wanted it. I was on the GUNSAILS Seal 4.2m. It was actually a little bit too big and I was struggling to keep the control. I wished I had rigged a 4m.I was surprised that myself and Antoine scored this session in Sylt right under the noses of the rest of the PWA sailors. I thought everyone would be out there. It turned out they liked to sleep a bit longer and take it easy. It was also it was registration day of competition, so a lot of sailors did not want to risk anything. Some of the guys only got their equipment mid-morning so they missed the best of it. They needed to rig up and were busy organizing everything. It was a cool session.It was just epic! The was probably the best I have seen Sylt. I guess it can get a bit more side shore or down the like but it was pretty much as good as it gets, I would say.ANTOINE MARTINMost of the time, I was riding my North WAVE 4.2 and Starboard Hyper 88L. As it got windier, I switched to a 3.7m, but eventually, I was completely overpowered and didnt have anything smaller. I would say that was a session to remember!The post NO RISK, NO REWARDSYLT ON FIRE! appeared first on Windsurf Magazine.
