well where to start...I'm in Darwin so big boards, bigger sails and not much of that wind stuff....

I was given a mistral Explosion 145 with a gaasta 8m sail Which i use all the time as it's my only sail..(getting a 6.5 shortly when i find some money) Maui 48cm fin...

Now the problem at this time of the year we have only onshore winds, which means most of the time choppy waters, which makes it hard onsuch a big board learning to gybe....

What I do...Coming in, unhook, try and sheet in, front hand forward, back hand back, back foot out and across, reallly lean into it, flip sail across when I feel the tug, then I'm through....I make it through everytime nowdays and I'm not falling off anymore, BUT IT WONT PLANE THROUGH!! No matter what I try, coming out low on a broad reach, coming out square, high, in the water, no matter what it just wont plane through...remember we're talking like 10 - 15 knots here with probably 1 - 2 foot chop....
Anybody got any help for a young new windsurfer

Cheers
