Hello  again

glad to know that you are still active in this forum

As for your question

None of the current kite surf kite has an automatic reefing system.

However, a kite with some pulley system on the bridle that changes the attachment points as the COP of the kite changes may produce similar "smoothness" as a modern windsurfing sail.

On the other hand, due to the tremendous power requirement during jumping, automatic reefing may not be a good thing for kiters.
