  • At the last moment you just pull the kite hard down?

  • When the kite is about 10 feet off the ground, just pull on the bar to turn the leading edge into the ground (it doesn't have to be a hard pull). Once the kite is on the ground, pull whichever rear line that will force the kite to face into the wind. (This will be a firm pull to turn the kite approx. ½ turn into the wind.) Then, unhook and move quickly to the kite to fine tune the direction in which the kite is facing.

  • coming to st augi sooon do u kiteboard or just land board yoo?

  • nice thanks for the technique..... its so simple i never even thought of it! I purchased a slingshot rev 2009 model and havent used it yet cause i thought it was too dangerous to launch and land by my self!!! Well at least this is 50% of the problem handled!

  • I've been using same technique with my North Rebel for some time now, works perfect :)

  • Thats my beach! You wouldnt happen to give lessons? Ive been trying to find the right time for it.
