Good overview. I'd just like to add a first step to Setup:
>Setup:
0. Look forward, behind and downwind for other sailors before
initiating your jybe.
>1. bear off and pick up speed.
>2. unhook ahead of time and get stable before starting the carve.
On a unrelated topic... Does anyone know which buoy report(s) in
Ken's mail are best for gauging wave height at Waddell?
Thanks,
- Matt

>Carve:
>3. move rear foot forward of front foot straps, close to the rail and

>at arm's length. With your knees bent and leaning forward, your face

>The key here is an aggressive body posture, S/B low center of gravity

>Sail Flip:
>1. Wait until the carve is almost complete, then use a push pull motion.
>Push the boom away with the back hand while pulling the mast in towards

>2. Change feet.

>Observations on rig position:
>The mast angle should be forward towards the nose all through the carve.
>If your stance is low and forward it will be. You can't carve worth a
>damn with the rig sagging back towards the tail. Conversely, you can't

>(at boom height) towards you and the tail as you push the sail around.
