No. What does that do? Does it hold the bridle down so it can't slip around the wingtip?
Anchor is what I do, mainly because we don't have rocky beaches. Seems like less to go wrong, as you can be sure lines are right, no bridle wraps, etc, before you get the kite in the air.
If I launched without an anchor, my leading edge would look like it was attacked by ninja knives due to all the sharp shells no matter how minimal I drug it across the sand.
No sand. Just set the kite on its wing tip and walk back. Same when I land. If the kite is bouncing around due to wind, I lay my hand on the top steering line and walk back to the control bar or towards the kite when I land. Make sure where the wing tip is sitting, there aren't protruding sticks or shells with sharp edges. Also make sure your lines aren't crossed before launching. If its windy, depower your bar.
