We will make one asap even if its just an iphone clip.


That would be awesome, please post a link here if you do. As a learner I've been trying to work out which of the techniques (none?) on the 2 AKS videos apply to my Cab 2014 Switchblade.

The following seems to describe it pretty well but it would be great to see a demo before I try..

Letting go of the bar is the key to self landing a Cabrinha safely, basically put the kite on a tip on the sand make sure you are in the right position to keep the kite stable and on the ground, then let go of the bar, it will lose most of its power. The pop the QR, then proceed as shown on the video, to walk up the centre lines to the kite. On 2014 kites just walk up the single front flagging line to the kite.


I assume I should set up the flagging line so it's on the upper side at landing to pull the leading edge down?
