Its called a deadman turn and the are super cool if you can pull them off in the buggy.

Yes guys have done them on hydrofoils. There are some threads and video's around. I am too lazy to search them.

i don't think it can be done on water as it seems very difficult to maintain the required momentum/speed to keep air in the canopy as the kite passes into the reverse side of the wind window. the weight of the buggys/ speed and reduced rolling resistance and line tention compared to a kite board I think is the thing that makes it possible to do on land but not water

The person that says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it!
