LANDING
Secure the leader lines around a suitable object in a way
that the backlines stay “braked“ and flying up of the kite again
is not possible.
Secure the kite as described in “Securing the Kite“.
Tip:
When using this method it is also possible to walk your
way up one of the steering lines to the kite, as long as the wind
is light enough.
06.03 Self-landing using the Frontline Safety
Make sure that you have a large enough landing area that
is free of any obstacles that can damage the kite. Fly the kite
down to the right side of the wind window (e.g. the side that your
frontline-safety line is attached to).
Activate your quick release. The kite will now flag out on the
FrontLine Safety and come to rest downwind of you.
As soon as the helper 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 helper.
Secure the kite as described in “Securing the Kite“.
06.02 Self-landing by backstall
Warning: Keep at least two line-lengths safe-
ty distance downwind. We generally recom-
mend landing with the help of an assistant.
Landing the kite by backstall should only be
attempted in light winds.
Grab both leader lines above the floaters.
Pull them back towards you until the kite stalls and flies
backwards towards the ground. To a certain degree you can still
control the kite as it flies backwards. Never let go of the leader
lines when attempting this self-landing procedure.
