SLE KITE
Never let a person unfamiliar with power kites land
your kite! a kite grabbed by the trailing edge while
landing can send the kite back through the power
zone!!
assisted Landing
It is always best to have a fellow kiteboarder help with
landing your kite. Be prepared before your landing. Ready
yourself with your release systems in the event of your
partner losing their grip on the kite and sending it back
into the sky.
Fly the kite to the edge of the window and have your
partner catch the kite by grabbing onto the leading edge.
As soon as possible unhook from the chicken loop.
Self Landing
If you have no helper available you can land your kite by
use of a front line re-ride handle. Ease your kite into the
water at the edge of the window, unhook, release your
leash, grab the front line re-ride handle and let the bar
go.
[12]
The kite will de-power and swing down wind on
the front line leash, so make sure there are no people or
obstructions at least 2 line lengths down wind of you.
Note
Do not use rear line re-ride systems on Ocean
Rodeo SLE kites as the kite can spin with force before
setting down
