Well, from what I heard it's supposed to be the five strut Aluula looking kite from an earlier movie of him. Do the Ocean Rodeo's Flites Aluula fly in 3 knots? And those are 3 strut...
Aluula kites are heavier than the equivalent Ultralight foil kites. So unless they are using some materials that are even lighter than Aluula or a completely new concept then I don't believe it will be any better.
12mtr Flite Aluula - 2.340 kg
13m Ozone Chrono V3 UL 2.19kg
I own a 13m Ozone Chrono V3 UL and it will only just fly in 3mph. But certainly not enough wind to ride and stay upwind on a hydrofoil.
I have found that 5 to 6mph is the realistic low end. By the way, the jump in power from 3mph to 5mph is HUGE - Way more than double. So I don't believe the 3mph claim.

Yep, I'm thinking the same.
