DUCK tutorialText and photo by CHRISTIAN GOEBEL FYM PR DUCK GYBE Te duck gybe is maybe the mother of all old school freestyle moves and still today it brings happy memories of Robby Naish
slamming the most stylish duck gybes in his legendary movie RIP. If you struggel to keep the speed out of your regular gybe, the duck gybe can get you flying out of the curve with full speed. Tis is a result of the high mastfoot presure you will generate from a well executed duck gybe. Te duck gybe will improve your general carving abilities and will lead you into more advanced freestyle. But most important it just feels great .
Lets look at the keypionts for the duck gybe. ENTRY. Make sure to enter the duck gybe on a down wind course with plenty of speed.
CARVING. Put your back hand way back on the boom, drop your hips and use your legs as shock absorbers to maintain speed and a good balance. DUCKING. Begin the sail ducking early, and keep carving as you duck under the sail. EXIT. Sheet in and keep the board carving by commiting your hips to the inside rail.
DUCK 1 2 Unhook from the harnesslines, and get out of the back strap.
Hang off the boom as if you are going to make a regular gybe. Start the carve with your back hand far back on the boom. Roll over on your toe side and bring the body over the board. Having the back hand really far back is essential for making a good duck gybe.
search 110 On a full broad reach, release the front hand and cross
over to the back of the boom. Whilst doing this the backhand tilts the rig towards the nose of the board. Keep looking forward and out of the turn.
