Yeah scott but in 35 kts bridle tangles can be at least minimized to some level on self launching >>>> self landing under these conditions will always just send the kite into a relaunch followed by endless kiteloops
...end of rant...nobody even thinks self landings are worthy of consideration... On another topic, I guess nobody wants to do DP today, N @ 20-23kts SW southside? rainy the rest of day

I'm not. I am dead tired and it's due North with a high tide. Gusty, gusty.
No rant, just good conversation. I self land all the time and even have mods to my kites for self landing that help quite a bit. I guess for me, I am anticipating letting the kite go on a landing, already made sure nothing is downwind (for my kites safety) and am prepared to say "see ya'"  when it pulls a "I ain't ready to land" on me. In 20 plus, both the self land and launch aren't ideal. I have done hundreds out of necessity (seabreeze, only guy there) and still feel very uncomfortable with both even though my success rate is probably 95% (that's ten or more possible whack jobs over time, where I have had to bail out or get drilled).I feel even less comfy on the SLEs cuz of the bridles. I don't think I would even ride alone in 35, let alone self launch or land in it. I gotta at least have a person keeping an eye out for me, even if they aren't riding in that stuff.
