Wind Direction, Speed, and Window - What You Need To Know

In this video, we'll discuss the three most important factors that influence wind direction, speed, and window - and how you can use this information to safely sail your kite.
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned kitesurfer, this video is essential information that you need to know in order to sail safe and enjoy your kiteboarding experience!
Do you know how to read the wind, understand the direction and speed, the wind window, and the safety precautions you should have?
This video will cover the main key points on why it's essential to know this.
Some do it yourself people prefer doing instead of reading. It's the same when you get some equipment, but instead of reading the instructions that came with it, you decide to push the buttons to see what happens.
I know the feeling as I'm sometimes like that. But with kitesurfing, if you skip lessons, you might miss out on some essential information about the wind direction, speed, positioning yourself concerning it, how to interpret the conditions, etc.
The most important thing is determining where the wind is blowing from and how strong it is, how to face and turn, and how your kite position and the steering you do will affect the kite's behavior and power. The wind can pick up or suddenly stop, and the kite's reaction will be much more sudden than what you might be used to. It also requires higher skills to react to the kite's behavior quickly. If you do not know how to, it can be complicated. Another problem of moving the kite without control with sudden reactions is that it can lead to accidentally powering up the kite and getting airborne. Knowing and understanding the wind, how it will behave around an object, increasing or decreasing, is very important. Practicing safely to understand these differences and learn to react to them is crucial and should be mastered before going into the higher wind speeds you need to kitesurf.
Kitesurfing is also a sport that you have to build muscle memory, so the only way to truly learn it is by practicing it. That is why having an experienced and trained person can make a huge difference to learn faster and safer.
