What is the wind window and why is it so important?

[@johnfbremerjr]

Great videos! I've always wondered why I can kite overpowered and I struggle so much with lighter wind. I get up and going easily and then I loose power and bog down. Of course I realize that it is some problem with my technique, but I guess I never understood the concept of apparent wind shifting the power zone back relative to the direction that you're traveling. Or in other words, the faster you go, the more toward the front of the wind window your kite moves even though it is in the same position relative to the true wind direction. I guess a lot of people can just feel the shift and naturally move the kite and park it where there is more power. I like the idea of starting and going just a little ways, bringing the kite back to 12 and sheeting out to stop, and then starting again in the opposite direction. I'm going to practice doing that over and over next session!

Great graphic where it overlays the red/yellow/green on top of the moving kiteboarder! But with the split screen it happened so fast it was hard to visually take in both sides of the screen. I don't know how hard that was to create, but it would be cool to see a more extended or slow motion version because it was really good for visualizing the shift of the window while in motion.

I’m making a new version so I’ll take these comments into consideration and do it with one at a time so it’s easier to check. I also need to improve the audio. This one was done long time ago and my video techniques and equipment have improved.

On this topic more practice makes it way easier to understand.
