Landing the kite is not simply a matter of flying the kite into the ground! In order to land your kite successfully you will need to practice flying horizontal straight lines. Start off flying quite high, and as you improve, fly horizontal passes closer and closer to the ground. Once you have successfully negotiated low fly passes without unscheduled landings you are ready to land.
Fly the kite horizontally across the wind window towards the outer edge where it will begin to slow down.
When the kite has almost stopped, pull on the uppermost line and the kite will begin to turn.
When the nose is pointing vertically equalise the lines.
Walk forward smartly and the kite will land. Remember this is a little more difficult in strong wind sometimes making it necessary to run forwards in order to release enough wind pressure on the sail.
