Odlično pojašeno 😀👍 velika pomoć svima nama koji vovimo Kitesurf..... Hvala ti punoooo 👌❤️

[@kitesurfexperiencebypetar]

Hvala puno Tatiana :))

Really nice episode 👌😊 I was just missing thermal effects

[@kitesurfexperiencebypetar]

Thank you Oliver, I'm preparing another episode about thermal wind as this is a local effect working just in certain locations :)

This is pretty good. I'm a paraglider instructor and I don't think 80% of the pilots understand wind shadow. Orographic effects are the hardest to grasp.

[@kitesurfexperiencebypetar]

Great, I'm happy you like it :) maybe this video helps some paragliders?

Will we ever get an episode on your favourite kitesurfing spots in Europe or in the world? :)

[@kitesurfexperiencebypetar]

Hey Lucse, actually I'm thinking about making a spot review every time I go somewhere for kiting more the 2-3 moths. Next Sunday is coming out the review of Lefkada, Greece Kite spots :)

Exzellent explanation. Thank you for sharing.

[@kitesurfexperiencebypetar]

Thank you very much Ose, I'm glad you found it helpful :)

[@thomashawker]

very good explanations Petar! I am teaching my brother with your vids ;-) When will you have one of the wind window?

[@kitesurfexperiencebypetar]

Thank you Tom :)) About the episode of Wind window I didn't really plan on making it, as this is something the instructor can explain easily to the student, or there are many wind window videos on YT already. But anyway I will think about it again if will be necessary that I do the wind window explanation. Thank you Tom :)

For many years I didn’t check the exact wind direction before pumping my kite or before launching my kite and this was a big mistake.
