Awesome she will love that kite!

I hook my chicken loop to my board handle (board covered with sand) and walk out and launch my kite, resting it on one wingtip... then I casually walk back and pick it up and hook in. THAT ALONE has made my waroo worth the investment. No more sketchy self launches in the dark!

I land the same way. Why crash a kite to land it when you can just walk over and put it down. I dont understand the need for all of these bizarre self launch and land techniques people are doing with these kites.
