I think people have missed the point of the video. My question was: Why does the kite not fill up with water in a situation like this?

I have to chime in here a little. I do admit that the Hyperlink and R1 fill up quite quickly with water, but only when there is a human still attached to the bar. Recently I have been doing a lot of stupid things like letting go of the kite and letting it fly and trying to catch in up whilst pumping...

Yeah, you need to be bigger to make the bigger wings work. So long as they're not sea anchors ...

Where are you guys getting your ideas from?

I’ve used a Takuma V100 (1245cm2 in area) for surf kitefoiling and it works well BUT it’s so slow (like 6-10kmh) and draggy you don’t get any of the usual benefits of a Hydrofoil. I have to ride the same size kite as if I was TT and it does not work in super light wind. That was what I was worried ...

The Soul and the Hyperlink are two completely different kites. Earlybird wants a kite with simple bridles and an open cell option. The Soul does not fullfill those criteria.
