The priority for maintaining optimal VMG downwind in waves is to continue surfing. When required to gybe, whether due to your orientation to the course, tactics or wind change - maintaining speed on a wave is critical. Surfing keeps you moving down the course while completing the maneuver. The trick is to initiate surfing by doing a roundup. This allows you to bring extra sheet tension in while accelerating which allows you to gybe on a much deeper angle - hence maintaining connection on the wave. In this video, we've presented some basic steps to take to complete the surfing gybe. The concepts of proper body positioning, sheeting and steering can only be discovered through deliberate practice with coaching. You'd be surprised what you can accomplish with only one session at ISA. What is ISA Online? An online course where you can find the best Laser class resources available.

Whats the secret? Honestly I do not know, on day 7 my patience run out, I was annoyed and angry the whole day, the little sleep was catching up with me and the fact that we were moving excruciating slowly at 2-4kts made me over-frustrated. If you have any tips on how to stay calm on low-wind days, feel free to share them in the comments.
