im always 1st up to help launch and land kites, but im finding a lot of beginners/ early intermediates are holding their boards , simply put most havnt the kite control to do this with both hands never mind one, so when coming in carry your board downwind and place on the beach prior to asking for a land, I also witness a lot of guys placing their board on the beach in line with their lines when launching, place your board behind you so you don't create a tangle hazard, another tip if you do carry your board carry it downwind of yourself, too many times im seeing people struggling with a board forced against themselves due to windstrength, added to that they carnt control the kite, keep yourself and those assisting safe
