OK
, so where is the break line a kite then?
You said Kite
You Didn't say Water kite, so don't roll your eyes and I'll explain it in simple terms , that
even a simpleton like You , can understand where the term comes from in the
kiting world.
On a traction or foil Kite, they would be connected to the back of the kite
and the bottom of the handles.
OH Yea --- there called Break Lines.
Google search -- (break lines on a kite) , and Ya get this:
from :

1/2 way down you see The picture below .
I was also flying Traction Kites before i learned to kite board ; but since this is
a kite board forum, i'll refer to them an Rear lines from now on.
Bille
Ps : Think about it --- the lines connected to the Trailing Edge of a KITE, are
called BREAK-LINES , in (2) different sports :
Traction Kite-ing and Para Gliding ...
& Both sports were around Before Kite-boarding became popular, and i
did Both of those sports before i tried flying one of your water kite. Like
25 years before i ever heard of kite boarding.
What did that guy call a Front-Roll once again ? He called it a front-Loop ? !!
So what's he gonna call a Kite-Loop ?
Sorry -- i flew my Hang glider yesterday, so i'm a bit WIRED right now .
