So the other tip is go to Sandy Point, with SQ, and practice in the nice smooth water you see in the vid. 
I've watched vando gybing around me heaps, it hasn't helped me any 
When i can gybe like these guys i'll be happy

Mast track 3/4 back. Footstraps all the way back and outboard at the front and in the front outboard hole at the back. This was to keep the stance closer but seems to work for me perfectly with KA 37cm G10 Slalom Fin. I run the mast base about center or slightly back with the 7.5m sail.
Above is how I had it set up for SHQ Cup race weekend slalom for 15-20 knots. see below:
Thanks, I use a high boom but wasn't as far back in the track, but my front foot was light. I'll go back with the mast more and try dropping the boom a little to get more front foot pressure.
Last time I went sailing I managed to complete one..... only one sucessful gybe.
This was about 3 weeks ago and I was pleased with myself. (sigh....finally)
Today I go for a sail and right off the bat I do two perfect gybes without hesitation. Four fast broad reaches and my hair is still dry. Then the rest of the session I'm swiming IOT turn around.
How can it be sooo right when it's right and how can it be so ugly and wrong when it's wrong.
Great afternoon at pinaroo point, not many out, but good on a 7 mtr.
To the guy who sailed back and forth with me, past me, opposite me, thanks. We didn't say a word to each other but as you left we exchanged a smile and all was understood. It was good to be out there with someone else on a sailboard.
Saw a huge turtle I mean huge, made my day.
Cheers All.

Just read what Swanbourne is running, and what Ocean Ref is running, and its some place in the middle of that for wind strength. Ocean reef true, is more like Rotto as its out away from the shore line a bit.
Nebs, I'll back Mino on the sailing at Pinnaroo.
It's a great spot when the seabreeze is marginal (I've had some great days there in 15-18K, when the seabreeze never made it to the river).
Can, get a bit choppy, so not great for high speed, but a real nice way to cool off on a hot summer's day.
Don't read too much into Gadgetman's video -the rig flip is about 6 hours too late. Throw (and I mean THROW - agressviely) the rig before you get to dead-downwind.
Jeez, and here was me thinking I wuz a retard...
It's brilliant for avoiding catapaults, especially in big swell, gusty conditions etc. I hate that front-foot-first feeling of having nothing holding you from a catapault in that crucial moment before the back one goes in.
Also, if you come off the plane in a lull, it's easier to just take the front foot out and put it near the mastfoot for a few secs while you wait for a gust...
I can do it the "proper" way, but I always revert to this technique when conditions are anything less than perfect...
Coming out of a strap to strap gybe I think it's natural. Old back foot is on the rail somewhere behind new front footstrap, and old front foot is still in it's strap. Bit hard to get new front foot in strap in that position. Much easier for old front foot to come out of front strap and go straight into back strap, then new front foot can go in.

My neighbor at Sandy Point is the quickest, smoothest wave board gyber I have ever seen. I will try to get him on film soon to really blow your mind on how quick and tight a wave gybe can be. :)
I was watching Josh Stone doing his stuff in Maui last year. He would hit a wave at full speed, gybe, and virtually bounce back out at full speed, incredible to watch. I must say I was also impressed by his forward loops which he planed out off on landing, and he did one on every run.
