Different kite attachment points on a bow?

Bit of old skool design.

the different attachment points are probably just for prototyping; they'll try each one and judge its merit, then only the really useful ones will find their way into production.

PS. the text says
"A recent trip to Maui Renato Pozolo and Joao Marino might observe the development of new kite Switchblade 4 in beach of Kite down the beach to see the pictures of the news."

possibly to stop the kite being depowered too much and made vulnerable to inverting... and/or to stop it being over powered and stalled... then again, and most likely, it could just be there to stop the pulley running over the knot and jamming.
