Aleix Sanllehy has an interesting tacking technique, which seems to work well in high wind side-on conditions. He does not step around the mast foot, he jumps to the other side. It’s kind of a backwind tack.

Cool back wind technique. But needs a lots of board and sail control,.though when this skill set is given, it’s a super save version
Cool, should be scored…Jaeger Stone’s is similar, without loosing speed…
can you give a link to this video ?
Ok, we will. We filmed a couple of tacks from Jaeger this summer and will upload the clip soon. Jaeger is one of a few riders, who changes sides very early and carves upwind.
