Great tool - handy if you're the last on the water

Rolls up and fits easily in my kite bag. I used it in about 18knot winds with an 11m kite and it worked fine. (Recommend to place and fill the anchor in the hole made from moving the sand)
perfect self launch and land solution

I couldn't have been happier. This worked flawlessly and I'm glad I went with the sand anchor, rather than the sand bag. I can now see how you can pile up much more sand, and much faster than dealing with a sand bag. It was also advantageous to have the long-ish straps vs a bag with no straps that you would need to add yourself. I was able to launch and land with total confidence in on, side-on, and side off conditions, solo and it never felt sketchy because you can use a massive amount of sand to hold it. I found that once I launched the kite, it was helpful to dump one or two handfuls of sand on the lowest inside corner and it held the kite very steady as I walked back to my kite, even in gusty side-off conditions. Or, you can just walk back holding a front line as you walk back to your kite.

What took so long?

This is such a great idea and product, I which I had found it sooner. Thanks to Jeff for creating and demonstrating such a safe and easy to use product. The other advantage is that an accidental launch will yank a stake out of the ground, but this will just drag around a bit (if at all).
Self Launch Beach Anchor review

The self launch anchor is then a very handy alternative to a sand screw. It works well if you make sure it is completely filled with sand. It is now permanently packed into my kite bag without having to drag around a large, heavy, sharp sand screw.
