HOW TO: STEER / LAUNCH / LAND
LANDING A KITE TO YOUR PARTNER
LANDING A KITE TO YOUR PARTNER
1. Prior to launching, make sure your partner has been
instructed on how to land your kite properly.
2. Also, you should always determine adequate landing
spots before you launch your kite.
3. Having done that, make sure that when you are
heading toward shore, that your landing location is
still safe, un-crowded and un-obstructed.
4. Never land your kite over, on top of, or near others,
especially if they are downwind of you. You should
have an area clear of people, pets, power lines, trees,
and other obstructions.
5. As you approach shore, keep your kite low near the
water, at the edge of the power window.
6. Drop down (or step) off your board and body drag the
final distance to shore. Do not approach the shoreline
with speed.
7. Slowly steer your kite into the wind and to your partner.
8. Your partner should be on the windward side of your
kite as he/she approaches it.
9. Once the kite is nearly touching the ground, your
partner should grab the kite at the middle of the
leading edge strut. He/she should grab the kite in the
same location on the kite as when it was launched.
10. Your partner SHOULD NOT grab the kite bridles or
flying lines.
11. Your partner should AVOID grabbing the kite by either
wing tip or the trailing edge of the kite. Grabbing the
kite by the wing tip or the trailing edge will often
cause it to flip or spin; the kite will also be hard to
manage.
12. Once your partner has the kite's leading edge, he/she
should walk the kite away from the water's edge.
13. Your partner may either continue to hold the kite or
he/she may secure the kite by turning it over, with the
struts down and the leading edge pointed into the
wind, and securing it with sand or sand bags.
14. Once on land, with your kite secured, you may wind up
your lines.
