I dunno but there is a lot of selfland going on in the kite forums I think
BTW, Zork do you have a girlfriend called Zindy?
Is "selfland" the new shortened text-speak version of self flaggelation?
Perhaps "self land" is where all the selfs live (ie Earth) ???
And why do kiters accidentally post in Windsurfing - General?
I never see windsurfers post a question about WS gear in Kitesurfing - General....
best way to self land a kite is to find a nice crowded beach with lots of kids playing in the shallows and building castles and do a dirty big power dive straight into the middle of everyone.
Oohhhhhhhh "self land" I get it
Sorry I didn't get it as in windsurfing we can get going and even STOP on the beach by ourselves 
Gestie can you please now explain what "yhanks" means?
I am guessing something about yanking and hankies? 
i think your on the money sausage,
yhanks is the point in time between the power dive into unsuspecting people on the beach and the rag doll.
for example,
the kiter initiated his "self landing" power dive into the unsuspecting crowd on the beach.
realising his error he "yhanks his bar"
and then sends the kite out of control up the beach dragging him along behind like a "ragdoll"
Definately in a tree, i've seen this method used a few times.. the kite will just sit there until you and 3 of your mates rip it out, or cut it out..
Don't know if this is a bow/SLE kite or not, but I'm pretty sure this isn't how you're meant to land them.
Dont self land.
Just signal to a windsurfer on the beach to catch it for you.
As you have already worked out , they are a friendly bunch that are always willing to lend a hand to a fellow wind junkie.[}:)]
Come over to the kite forum mate,
you will only get shat on half as much over there.
i'm thinking these kiters might be onto something.
i'm looking for someone to self rig my gear and self pack up!
He was unlucky, and they handled the situation well.
Yes but there is never so much drama when a windsurf bit breaks.... rig falls over, waterstart and away again. Just one of the many reasons I think kiting is silly
Fland is a good mate of mine and has informed me that he is totally over bow kites, he has tried all the popular brands and styles but none of them get the juices flowing for him.
Fland has gone back circa 04 c kites with no safety or depower whatsoever and is very happy that the stoke has returned to his kiting en devours.
Go the Fland.
