i had something like the pic in other tread . big cork screw but I made the handel removable so it was dug down deeper than sand level (dug a bit out)and then remove handle than attach carabina to it . safe no one could trip over and was near impossible to get it stolen . At 1 stage I had 2 kites hanging of it . Unsafe no not one bit . Lets look at it . The kite is set up on the edge of the wind window how much power is in the kite there full depowered and just bobing up and down the only problem if you get a big lul the kite would just fall down but if the wind pick up can and will blow kite back into the window NOT safe there . Lets face it I think it is the safest way to lauch and land a kite . But NOT for going and having a beer while it is attached .
Nah, the safest way to launch and land is with an assisted launch/land - assuming a competent assistant.
A big cork screw, LOL - that about sums it up
