Martin has further developed his mental training specifically for the coordination and automation of the jibe. This training involves memorising the correct jibe movement sequence in the brain and then recalling it on the water. Martin uses special videos and a gymnastics stick as a substitute for a boom. He practises on dry land until the gybe, including the initiation, sailing shifts and changeover, works even with eyes closed and is completely internalised. Then it's onto Martin's simulator and only then onto the water.
May and June camps already fully booked
The camps in May at Harry Nass' Pro Centre in Dahab/Egypt and in June at Jürgen Niens' Pro Centre will be the first time the new concept will be fully implemented. However, there are no more places available for either camp.
The next opportunity to take part in one of the Brandner camps will be from 8 to 15 September in Rhodes at Jürgen Niens' centre and the Blue Horizon Hotel. The drone can also be used there again for video analysis, which is not possible in Dahab.

Andreas Erbe
Chief editor surf
Andreas was born in 1962 and grew up in Osnabrück. He became passionate about windsurfing as early as 1974, when he learned to tack and jibe at one of the first surf schools on the Baltic Sea. Lake Dümmer became the favorite playground of his youth for him and his friends. In 1988, he joined Surf Magazin as a tester and later editor and was lucky enough to be able to turn his passion into a career. Andreas has been responsible for the magazine's content as editor-in-chief since 2002. His favorite spots are those on the Danish North Sea and Baltic coasts.
