Hi everyone,

I have designed and made a sand anchor for launching and landing your kite for myself and a friend of mine. We are really happy with the result and have produced a few more if anyone is interested. I have always self-launched and landed and still believe that these are necessary and important skills that everybody should learn and know. But after using a sand anchor for a while now, I love its ease and convenience and some of the benefits it provides:

? The ability to launch and land on your own

? The ability to launch and land in small confined areas with limited room to self-launch

? Reduced risk for mishap from traditional self-launching and landing methods

? Reduced wear on you kite from traditional self-launching and landing methods

? The ability to check your bar and lines

? Reduced chances of puncture to your bladder from sticks and sharp fragments etc. that also may result from traditional methods of self-launching and landing

I have manufactured it from stainless steel to resist ocean environments with a detachable handle for easy storage. Tested in a variety of conditions from 17knots to 35+ knots, on a variety of kites from 12m to 7m. And in various sand densities. It is a strong, solid and reliable sand anchor. If anyone is interested then please contact me through the free classifieds on www.pelicansea.com/class/classified.php?n=65 I also have it advertised on www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/carrum-downs/surfing/kitesurfing-launching-and-landing-sand-anchor/1039911962 Thank you for taking the time to view this. I am a big fan of the seabreeze community.
