Is it the cold?
Unless you identify the error that is leading to your fall, you'll keep falling.
Once we start to fall, most of us pull back in anticipation on the next gybe, instead of leaning forward and committing.
Speed and comitment.
Hello, EP,
Buy Guy Cribb's DVD Intuition Gybing DVD (about $65 for 2 hours' worth) and follow his guide (the first gybe on the video is breath-taking).
When first on the water, travel 200 m, gybe, travel back, gybe then repeat for about 15 minutes, then spend the rest of the time having fun. Repetitive gybes will help overcome your problems.
Also, if you can get someone to video you during the gybes, this will help, too.
Hope this helps.

Panda i would 2nd that ou probably got tired at the end of your session
even when your tired you really got to put effort into your gybes, its easier to put effort in and make it, then to half arse it, and have to water start....
I start out crap.. start to get a few then as I tire start to stuff things up and get bad habits so I try to quit while I'm ahead especially if I do a good one.
Hmmmmm Panda there is a reason god put sandbanks in the middle of the Broadwater, he knew aging sailers tiring of their gybes would need to rest in the shallows and discuss the ramifications of failure.
