1: BEAR OFF FROM A BEAM REACH, UNHOOK FROM HARNESS, KEEP THINGS AS FAST AS POSSIBLE!!

2: PLACE BACK FOOT ON THE LEEWARD RAIL TOWARDS TAIL OF BOARD. INITIATE CARVING, KEEPING WEIGHT FORWARD, AND INTO THE TURN.

3:THROW THE SAIL FORWARD, SHEET IN HARD WITH BACK HAND, KEEP FRONT ARM EXTENDED, AND RIG AWAY FROM BODY. MAINTAIN SPEED BY KEEPING WEIGHT FORWARD AND NOT BACK ON THE TAIL (WHICH UNFORTUNATELY IS INSTINCTUAL); LOOK FORWARD AND NOT DOWN.. BEND KNEES HARD!!!

4/5: WHEN BOARD IN POINTING DOWNWIND, INITIATE ROTATION OF THE RIG, START BRINGING BODY UPRIGHT AGAIN. KEEP PRESSURE ON THE LEEWARD RAIL.

6. TWIST WINDWARD SIDE FOOT OUT OF FOOTSTRAP, AND INTO POSITION FOR NEW TACK. MAINTAIN CARVING BY KEEPING WEIGHT FORWARD INTO THE TURN, NOT WEIGHTING DOWN THE TAIL OF THE BOARD.

7. PUSH SAIL AGGRESSIVELY AROUND, WHILE COMPLETING FOOTWORK TO GET ONTO THE NEW TACK (OLD BACK FOOT IS THE NEW FRONT FOOT)

8/9. GET CENTRE OF GRAVITY LOW TO ANTICIPATE THE SAIL PULL ON THE NEW TACK AND TO AVOID GETTING OVERPOWERED. PUMP SAIL TO GET PLANING AGAIN IF NECESSARY. STAY ON A BROAD REACH ON THE NEW TACK UNTIL YOU ARE PLANING.

THIS MOVE IS AN ABSOLUTE BLAST, ESPECIALLY IF YOU COME OUT OF IT WITH SPEED. GOOD LUCK! -GREG
