Extreme Jibe

About this trick

The extreme jibe is a combination of a carved 360 and a direction change — you carve an extreme arc, passing through backwinded and potentially completing a full carve before re-engaging on the new tack. It's essentially an extreme carving 360 that happens to end sailing in the opposite direction. Spectacular when done at speed.

Key tips

1. 1

   Maximum entry speed — this trick lives and dies on how much speed you enter with

2. 2

   Commit to the full carve arc; half-committing mid-jibe is the most common crash cause

3. 3

   The carve happens entirely from board edge and body weight — the wing is relatively passive during the arc

4. 4

   Exit aggressively: sheet in hard as you come back to forward-facing to rebuild speed quickly
