Tack

To tack (turn against the wind), move your mast (weight point) backwards. Step forward as the board steer into the wind, and grab the mast with your front hand. Swing the board around (in light wind - force your back hand / boom to windward a bit to accelerate the rotation) and change position to the other side of the boom. Move forward again and sheet in.
