When in choppy water, of course the best way to gybe is to either find a flat patch or try to gybe down the face of a bit of swell or chop...
BUT my question is: is this what everybody does? Or can some people gybe while just plowing into all the chop, with all the bouncing it involves? If so, how?
I ask because I've been making heaps of progress this past week, when gybing on flatter water, but further out where it's more windy and choppy, I go bouncy-bouncy-SPLASH most of the time.
us melbourne sailors should be able to answer this very well becuase we dont have any flat water at all to sail on, only sandy point wich is miles away from the city. so we should be able to answer this very very well.
When the wind is up even in light wind we get big chop in our bay. i find before i unhook and jibe i will look for where it is breaking and inside the chop or more like waves in our bay, its all ya can do. so you look for the smoothest part to jibe.
Its just practice
i think your kit plays a big part to having the right board and fin for when it gets choppy.

I find you need to bend your knees more, and lean down more on the boom.
Making the arc tighter can help as well.
Timing is also important but difficult for me 
One thing that's helped me recently is to "Look where you're going, not at the board".
Gybing in chop is tricky, but when you get it right you'll exit on the new tack still planing, an amazing feeling 
FARK IT WILLY, JUST SLAM IT,fOOT DOWN HARD TO CUT THE GAS WHILST LOOKIN WHERE TO GO.
