Self-Landing

Within the IKO student progression path, every student must know how to self-land their kite in any kind of wind to be certified IKO Level 1. Landing with the help of someone is recommended, yet every rider must be able to self-land for safety reasons. Why? Simply because you never know what will happen when you go kiting even if you respect all the safety rules. For example, the wind may drop all of a sudden, and you will end your session very far downwind without anybody to help you land your kite.
