I believe I own one that I bought in the UK many years ago. It is a parafoil
stunt kite, 6 feet by maybe 3 feet with a fiberglass rod in the leading
edge. It uses two cords tied to either end of a broom handle sized pole. It
can be easily maneuvered to any angle up to 180 degrees and in a strong
wind, has an incredible pull.

Jalbert was the inventor of the parafoil, and probably not the manufacturer
of the kite.
