Hello, I searched but couldn’t find the answer. I would like to know from what speed a jibe in windsurfing, wing, and windfoil is considered to be planing or flying? The data collected is not necessarily accurate during my last session at Les Minimes on March 25th. I had a failed jibe even though I fell much more often? I purchased a 1-year subscription to reward all this development work! 😉 Sébastien ---

Hi Sébastien, thanks for the subscription — much appreciated! **Planing/flying threshold** If you open a session and look at the speed chart, you’ll see a red dotted line — that’s the planing/flying threshold for your sport and discipline. During a jibe, the goal is to stay above that line throughout the turn. **Why the app may count a jibe as successful even when you fell** The app evaluates the maneuver itself — the turn — not what happens immediately after. Two common cases where this leads to confusion: - **Foiling** : You complete the turn cleanly, but crash during the foot switch afterward. The turn was a flying jibe; the crash was a separate event. - **Windsurfing** : You stay on the plane through the turn, but need a few pumps at the exit to maintain speed in a lull. The turn itself was planed — what happens in the next few meters is a different skill entirely. This is intentional: pumping out of a lull and switching feet are techniques independent of whether the jibe itself was executed on the plane. For the overall picture of how well a session went, the total planing/flying duration and the longest continuous stretch give a fuller view than jibe count alone. Hope that clears it up! ---

Ok, I understand better now, thanks for the explanations. ---

> [@WST](#): > > **Windsurfing** : You stay planing through the turn, but you need to pump a few times at the exit to maintain speed in a lull. The turn itself was planing — what happens in the following meters is a completely different skill. I think that’s where the problem lies. I’m talking about falls, and the places where I windsurf there’s current, so the app shouldn’t distinguish between finishing a jibe without enough wind to regain planing and a fall where you continue to move slowly with the current. If I take the example of my session, I fell 6 or 7 times. For me, these aren’t successful jibes, but the app only detected one as a failure. The V1 of the app was more accurate in this regard 🤔 ---

If you fall into the water, the app should detect this regardless of current — the current would only affect movement after the fall, during the restart. To clarify how the app classifies jibes: - **Fully planed/flying** — you maintained speed through the entire turn - **Not planed / partially planed** — you didn’t fall, but lost the plane at some point - **Fall** — you went into the water, planed or not If you could send me the original session file to [support@sunbits.de](mailto:support@sunbits.de), I’m happy to take a look. It’s possible the algorithm needs further tuning, or there’s something specific to the current conditions at your spot. ---

A new version of the analyser (v10) is available with a more fine-tuned algorithm that better detects these cases. Thanks for sending the file — it directly helped improve the detection. To apply it to your old sessions, open the session, scroll down to the info section, and tap the **Reanalyse** button. You’ll also see a notice there if the session wasn’t analysed with the latest version. Alternatively, changing the sport, discipline, or wind direction will also trigger a new analysis.
