I am not sure who comes up with the "back line/front line as a
continous loop" idea, Flysurfer or Cabrinha (in their RECON system),
but I can see that this idea can be used for a 100% fully sheet out
sled LEI kite (which of course eliminates the safety leash and
automatically flip the kite over on its back ready for relaunch)

P.S., I do hope that the "back line/front line as a continous loop"
idea is not patented (I don't think it is as you need some very
specific application for patenting); otherwise, only one company can
built 100% fully sheet out sled LEI kite.
