07 LANDING

07.01 Landing with an assistant

The easiest and safest way to land your kite is with the help of

an assistant. Signal a trained assistant 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 approach the kite and grab hold of the

leading edge of the kite.

Warning:

The assistant should never grab any

lines.

As soon as the assistant has the kite securely in their hands,

walk towards them until all ﬂying lines are no longer under ten-

sion. This way the kite will ﬂag out downwind of the assistant.

Secure the kite as described in “Securing the Kite“.

07.02 Landing without an assistant at the side of

the wind window

Warning: Keep at least two line-lengths

safety distance downwind. We generally

recommend landing with the help of an as-

sistant. Landing the kite by backstall should

only be attempted in light winds.

Fly down the kite on the edge of the wind window.

Steer the kite down hard so that the kite collapses on the

ground.
