You are now aiming dead upwind. Your hips swing forward and the rig is over the tail of the board.
Turn your head and look forward, this is very important, and will help you bringing the board downwind on the new tack. Grab the boom well down with the backhand. Get the back foot well down the board.
Release the backhand, and reach for the new side of the boom. Te hips are forward. And you begin to shiſt the weight on to the front foot.
Te critical part of the tack is the foot transition. Make a quick pivot around the mast foot. And at the same time release the front hand. Te old back foot becomes the new front foot just in front of the mast.
