Its sometimes the hard sand. With all the dredging they do around here, I have had trouble just getting the damn thing in. Call me weak.

Kite anchor
For about $7, a 4lb fluke anchor (Danforth style), with a short chunk of chain and a short piece of nylon line can be set and will hold in virtually any ground in this area short of poured concrete. Cheap, reliable and versatile. B

I know some folks that use anchors....and I don't know if I am sold on that idea. I have heard them come loose, I have seen them come loose. Imagine a kite flying through the air with an anchor attached to it with two sharp spikes to boot.
I like to use a secure object or nothing at all. Just me. For example, on IRB we have these signs posted into the sand. I wrap a leash around the post, and attach chicken loop to leash, set kite, go back to loop and launch. Same for landing. Today at the Clearwater sailing center, I used a hitch to self land. On that note, I really don't like self landing kites in high winds unless I have this technique available. You have to find out what works for you and keep asking questions about an idea you have. |
