Setting up your kite The 'Wind Window' Minimum power Zenith Before flying your kite it is important to understand the 'wind window'. The image shows where the kite will create the most power (straight downwind, also known as the ‘power zone’) and where the kite will create the least power (edge of the window and zenith).

Setting up your kite Step 2 - Unwinding your flying lines Starting at the kite, slowly walk backwards while unwinding your lines. Walk in the opposite of the wind direction. This prevents line tangles, and enables you to launch easier and faster. Always try to keep your lines in a straight line, this prevents line tangles.

Launching and flying your Spark Launching To launch your kite: 1. Make sure the kite is still secured from blowing away by some sand on the trailing edge. Stand at the posi- tion so your flying lines are at about 45 degrees to the wind direction.

In case the kite doesn’t launch or fly the way it should, please check the following: • Is there sufficient wind? Your Spark needs a bit of wind to get going. Flying the kite in winds that are too light make it very difficult to fly your kite properly.
