If I make a jibe, the board slows down so much that when I'm halfway in the turn, it practically stalls and stops moving.

Hey. I had the same problem at the beginning. What you want is to go a bit downwind before entering into a jibe. Once you get a good speed, you place your back foot on the opposite rail, but close to the front footstrap and lean slightly forward. All this will enable the board to go smoothly through the turn because you are putting more pressure forward instead backwards. That's the footwork. Regarding the sail, you should sheet in as you enter a jibe. Most people open their sail and slow down.

The turning point for me was realising that the sail was giving the power through the carve, and the board was the thing doing the turning (via footwork). I was originally always trying to steer with the sail which isn't really ideal, and as you said here, I was dumping all the power!
Also, remember to bend your knees a bit to keep the board flat & keep the drive through the turn, this will help prevent you falling off backwards! 😃

Before you carve into the jibe you have to go a bit downwind. Don't carve too much because that slows you down a lot and maybe try to throw your sail on the other side on the halfway. Hope it would help you.

Most important is to keep the board flat, this could be done bij pressing on the boom. That way you will keep the board in the water. Also try to lean forward and sheet the sail in. That way you will keep power and speed. At the exit of the jibe, try to sail away downwind to accelerate quickly and plain away.

Don't open the sail before you haven't finished your move. I make turn, then flip the sail and just after I have got stable on board, i take out footstraps and start sailing. And of course, more wind, more power - better.

This is lacking power. I would suggest that you reach far back on the boom while you are doing your setup, so that you have more leverage over the power that will come into the sail. You'll be pulled a bot more forward.keeping your nose behind your knees and holding onto that power, the pressure drops onto the mastfoot keeping the board flat making it easier to continue carving. A late flip will not hurt. you still have power in the sail.always step before flipping the sail. Checkmeout

I personally find it easier to plane out (just feels more fun and looks a bit cooler - to me anyway!) if you flip the rig first.. helps you to ensure you’re continuing the same carve line right the way through.. so, if you bear off wind (going quickly but not so you’re too fast you’re worried about taking a slam) bring your back foot across to right behind the opposite edge front foot strap, toes nearly touching the water when carving, flip the rig and continue carve in semi-switch stance. 👍

yes
You must leave the boom with the tail hand and after switching to the other side of the board you must catch the other side of boom. Try to make all this tings faster and clever than you can
This is because that you dont start jybing in your full speed. Before pushing the other side of the board with your back foot you should turn your board a little bit down wind to reach your full speed. Also dont beafraid of pressin hard with your back foot and jybing in strong winds
You should make a jibe after you have your full speed
the board stops moving because you move too slow. try doing it faster and it won't. also, you could have a board that's too heavy for you or a sail that's too tiny for you and your board.
Dont push the board to hard and to quick, press gently when you turn and move your left hand next to the harnass lines. Love to hear if it did work for you
When you turn in the jibe you push much in your legs on the board and meanwhile you turn the sail and i think it’s gonna be ok so do this ;)
My biggest tip, when leaning, think 60% forwards and 40% into the turn. This’ll keep the board flatter and planing. Sounds like you’re leaning backwards.
When you stop it means that it’s time to throw the mast to other side
A jibe should be fast and a tack is slow
