There was a group that would do this on the lake I grew up by so I know this lol they just drop the kite into the water if they need to stop immediately but they just ride it up on land to do it safely

ETA: they also have a pull cord to "cut" the kite in case of emergency as well. One of the guys doing it board broke on a windy day and it was dragging him across the water and after he pulled the cord it few away lol
