Why is the dynamic pressure not a vector quantity?

I understand that static pressure is a scalar quantity as it acts equally in all directions, then by the same reasoning dynamic pressure should be a vector quantity as it only can be measured by opposing the flow.

I understand that the act of opposing the flow will instantly convert dynamic to static but I am asking in theory?
