Note Do not use rear line re-ride systems on Ocean Rodeo flat kites as the boat kite can spin with force before setting down

Landing Your Ocean Rodeo Flat Kite

Never let a person unfamiliar with power kites land your kite! A kite grabbed by the trailing edge while landing can send the kite back through the power zone!! Assisted Landing Self Landing It is always best to have a fellow kiteboarder help with landing your kite. Be prepared before your landing. Ready yourself with your release systems in the event of your partner losing their grip on the kite and sending it back into the sky.Fly the kite to the edge of the window and have your partner catch the kite by grabbing onto the leading edge. As soon as possible unhook from the chicken loop. If you have no helper available you can land your kite by use of a front line re-ride leash. Ease your kite into the water at the edge of the window, unhook and let the bar go. The kite will de-power and swing down wind on the front line leash, so make sure there are no people or obstructions at least 2 line lengths down wind of you.
