06.01 With an assistant
The easiest and safest way to
land your kite is with the help of an
assistant. Signal an assistant who
knows how to land your kite, that you
want to land. The assistant should
be standing well upwind of the kite.
Lower the kite towards the assistant
along the edge of the wind window.
The assistant can now ap-
proach the kite and grab hold of
the leading edge of the kite.
Warning:
The assistant should
never grab any lines.
Walk towards the assistant and pull
hard on the leeward side steering line
as soon as they have the kite securely
in their grasp. That way the kite will
flag out downwind of the assistant.
Secure the kite as described
in “Securing the Kite“
06.02 Without an assistant
by backstall
Warning:
Keep at least two
line-lengths safety distance
downwind. We generally
recommend landing with
the help of an assistant.
Landing the kite by backstall
should only be attempted in
light winds.
