Carpet runners personally set?

Carpet runners temporarily personally set? Take it with you when you are done!
Check first with Windsports, if you use the launches.

Wing-running off to the side of designated LZ is open recreation beach for picnic, wing running, games, rest, etc..
Could enjoyment of launch be enhanced by long specially designed sand-color carpet runners? Could slope erosion be slowed by uses of a temporarily placed carpet runner? Could students have an improved experience with such device?

Set where?
== On relatively flat sand with sand anchors and tensioning cord? For wing running traction; face the wind; run with wing. Practice aggressive kiting of wing in wing-run efforts.
== On launch with upper downwind anchoring? Stop sand erosion? Normalize run?

Sand-colored runner

Note: Carpet runner might be thin Kevlar coated with siliconed sand to mimic the scene and yet have low mass and high strength along with good traction.
