Step 1
Windsurf on a broad reach (angling downwind) with a lot of speed and check the area ahead of you to be sure you are safe to turn.
-
Step 2
Lean on your leeward (downwind) rail to begin carving to your starboard side.
-
Step 3
Tilt the mast forward by releasing your front hand and sliding it to the back of the boom. Release your left hand from the boom entirely.
-
Step 4
Duck your head under the boom and clew as it swings over your head. Maintain your carve without shifting your feet.
-
Step 5
Reach around and grab the opposite side of the boom, your new boom, with your former back hand, now in front.
-
Step 6
Release the hand that had been in front and reposition it as your new back hand on your new boom.
-
Step 7
Pull the sail back up (power up) with your front hand first and then with your back hand.
-
Step 8
Sheet in and adjust your feet to power out of the turn onto your new heading.
