Does the picture above the words that begin with "3. 3. Almost as quickly as you twist .." belong there? It looks like the exit to the jibe. -C.C. Thanks for posting this.

This stance (open front foot, back foot straight across) over the centerline, provides the most stability to adjust for chop or swell, power from the sail, or trimming the board fore and aft due to lack of wind (if a sailor starts to lose speed at this point, they can simply transition more weight into the front foot, leveling the board out and allowing it to continue to plane through the end of the turn.

Unless I'm mistaken, photos #3 and # 5 look to be the same. It would probably help to illustrate the instructions if you actually used the same sailor on thesame equipment in an actual sequence.
