I know some folks that use anchors....and I don't know if I am sold on that idea. I have heard them come loose, I have seen them come loose. Imagine a kite flying through the air with an anchor attached to it with two sharp spikes to boot.

I like to use a secure object or nothing at all. Just me. For example, on IRB we have these signs posted into the sand. I wrap a leash around the post, and attach chicken loop to leash, set kite, go back to loop and launch. Same for landing. Today at the Clearwater sailing center, I used a hitch to self land.

On that note, I really don't like self landing kites in high winds unless I have this technique available.

You have to find out what works for you and keep asking questions about an idea you have.
