Some kind of tube kite with struts only and "no" leading edge

Imagine a C kite with mains in the middle and two bars, one for each edge.
Crazy, but plausible.

A foil kite with non-return air inlets on both the leading and trailing edge. Foil kites reverse launch easily, so they already have the ability to fly backwards.

A foil stunt kite got handles, and can be reversed immediately in flight "anywhere" :thumb:

Actually really fun and quite amazing to see and do :naughty:

You could call it a "twintip of kites" as it has the exact same option as a twintip - can go straight out and just stop and go reverse, without turning

THAT'S RIGHT
"TWINTIP OF KITES" COMBINED WITH A TWINTIP BOARD
MAY VERY WELL MAKE YOU CHANGE DIRECTION 2 TIMES FASTER

Dear SupaEZ, you must register whenever it is not clear to all, as seems the case here, that the question is feigned silliness, plain silliness, or a stroke of genius. You get extra points when it's genuine.

Don't you know the rules, even in anticipation?
