Hi Adam,adamharr wrote:So im down to about my 30th session on the race board so i got all the jibes down but that roll tack i just cant get it from starboard to port i cant even get the board front to the wind and from port to starboard i kind of rotate but fall so i do a 360 rotation but always fall so any tips?
Another thing is i got right tune of fins but sometimes its not even 20 knots and im eating shit on the raceboard with my 9 or my 11 meter full depower so i cant even imagine these guys at egypt 35+ with 9m one day.
Also going upwind normally i go in choppy water but i start for a few seconds on a good angle and with a point of reference and i start going downwind as a reach more and more and explode and crash so any tips?
Thanks, cheers ohh and i got an RRD krapida and a cabrinha 12 i got as gift last year both on tectonicsT43k
Thank you really much i actually got them a few both sides haha i got my first roll tacks fluidly! I guess i just needed that speed going into the tack and carve harder, great great improvement.gmb13 wrote:Hi Adam,
I'm not sure if this will help you but here is a Go Pro Video of a a near perfect Roll Tack, strap to strap planing though.
First is normal speed the second is slowed down quite a bit so you can see what the feet are doing and how far the board needs to be pushed around.
Hope it helps.

Another thing, normally in chop and windy the thing i said when going upwind i start sailing downwind more and more until im reeching and start going fast until i crash this happens not only in windy
Is this leg strenght? Sometimes this happens and i cant even beat guys in twin tips
Thanks, cheers
Hey Fred,FrederikS wrote:Thanks Gunnar! Superb shots of the roll tack I am sure this will help a lot of people!
As a rookie here please do more of the same type just for gybes, mark roundings and so on. The transitions there are also a bit tricky
Cheers,
Fred

That sounds like a combination of too big fins and to big kite for the conditions.
If you can use a kite size smaller. If not, you need to slow down and point as high as possible.
Are you using a race bar with a 4-1 Adjuster? If not, you should be. This will allow you to depower the kite in gusts without having to lean towards the kite.
Another way to get the board pointing higher and to slow down a bit is to move your heel of your back foot even more forward. You toes stay in the strap, but your heel is about 5-10cm up the rail. Your foot will be almost sideways.
What size fins are you on and how much do you weigh?
