Magnus8 said...Well the quickest way to learn I reckon is on one tack. Find some flat water, sail for about 200-300m, then turn the board, sail back to where you started and tack. Then do it again 20 or 30 times. Then go for a sail. Once you master one tack, then the other will follow quickly. As others have pointed out, the most important part is carving the board, so concentrate on this aspect, worry about catching the sail when you've mastered the carve.
Happy sailing
I remember when I used to be able to do duck gybes I'd only worry about the board side of things -making sure I kept turning..I might try this concept with normal gybes as it worked for the duck gybes.Mind you I used to lie in bed visualising the rig flip for the duck gybe so maybe visualising the gybe in your mind when your not sailing will help.
