Drag from excessive flaps extension can slow the release from the water, but a little flap is often beneficial when the intention is to launch as early in the forward motion as possible. All that's needed is some frantic paddling, a couple of jumps, some energetic flap usage at no more than 15 degrees, and even the largest aerial vehicle can gain effective flying speed and sufficient lift for safe takeoff.
Canon R5 with RF-EF Adaptor & Canon EF100-400m f/4.5-5.6 L IS II USM. Lens zoomed fully at 400mm, Image is heavily cropped, Camera hand-held in single shot mode, with ISO set to 500, shutter speed of 1/1000 & f/11 (bright & sunny afternoon conditions).
