06 LANDING
06.01 Landing with an assistant
The easiest and safest way to land your kite is with the help
of an assistant. Signal a helper who knows how to land your kite,
that you want to land. The helper should be standing well upwind
of the kite.
Lower the kite towards the helper along the edge of the wind
window.
The helper can now approach the kite and grab hold of the
leading edge of the kite.
Warning:
The helper should never grab any lines.
Let go of the steering line as soon as the leading edge of the
kite points up. Grab the bar and keep it depowered until the kite
is flying again.
05.03 Drainage
The drainage system ensures that water or dirt are automati-
cally removed from the kite. The kite has to be turned upright onto
its side. Try to achieve this by pulling on one steering line. Try to
prevent the upper wingtip from collapsing.
The excessive water/dirt should now flow out of the tip until
it is ready to be launched again.
