ever seen Lou kite toeside with his back to the kite and the bar behind him?...pretty much can go faster than most can go heel side

Then after, we could try for record standing on our head on the board.....etc
The possibilities are endless

you genius - why has no one ridden handstand style?! maybe they have - gonna have to give it a shot/

Dave Trewern set the first kiteboarding speed record in 2005 at 44.8 knots riding toeside on a Naish Mutant.

Well, well well. SupaEZ's question was not that silly after all. He's gonna have to be demoted from his 3rd place in the Silly Question Challenge. Double apologies, Supa!

Afterthought:
I understand how it can be easier to edge hard with toes than with heels.

Thank you OzBungy for looking it up and proving it can be done....44.8 knots is fast
Since we know now it can be done......how about a modern era 2012 record

With todays high tech kites let's use a "real" gunshaped directional with fin (fins) only at the tail
And see by how much we can shatter that old 2005 mutant record

Would a Inflato be faster or a Foil?? Hmmm

But the headstand style is already done with the Source not on the Course
Probably without the "chemo"
To me the "toeside directional World Speed Record" would be more impressing,
than the limited Olympic Course Race
