The Wind Window · Das Windfenster · Initiation au Vent · La Ventana del Viento 1 The Wind Window The kite flies within a so-called wind window which approximately forms a quarter sphere around the pilot, who stands at its centre. It is therefore easy to recognise that the kite flies on circular routes. The border zone of the wind window which lies precisely above the pilot is the zenith. Here, the kite can be flown especially calmly and without requiring a lot of pulling strength.

BEFORE YOU START · BEVOR SIE STARTEN · AVANT DE DÉCOLLER · ANTES DE EMPEZAR 28 1. 2. 3. Pay attention to ensuring that you are holding the handles correctly. The top end should be between your index and middle fingers if you are not using a harness. Hold both handles in front of your body, approximately at chest height. The kite killers allow you to release the kite in emergency situations without losing it entirely. Try this out in moderate winds to become familiar with this function.

Pull on the lee handle so that the more distant wing tip sets itself against the wind and points upward. The chute is now easily controllable via the brake of the upward-pointing wing half, so that it can be brought safely along the edge of the wind window and into the zenith.

In strong winds, steer the kite towards the left or right edge of the wind window, in the direction of the ground. A helper should take the kite there. 2.

If the flight lines are not of the same length, you can make a quick temporary correction with a knot in the leader lines of the handles. 2.

Fasten the brake lines on a very sturdy hook (e.g. the trailer hitch on a car) and stretch them by pulling very hard. 3.
