*Self Landing - Safety release method
When self landing by pulling the quick release, it's best if you can have the kite on the side of the wind window so that the safety line / flagged centre line is higher than the other centre line. The kite then has a better chance to flag out with the leading edge down in a secure position on the beach.
*Self Landing - Anchor Method
We used a bag with a rock in for our anchoring point. This works well for us but if using this method make sure there is plenty of weight in the bag, especially when more powered up. On some beaches / launches there may often be a bench, post, fixed point, ect. (Anything fixed would be prefered) That you can attach to as well, just make sure you have clear space downwind.
