I understand how sailing upwind works with a bermuda rig, but how do you do that with a kite, aerodynamically speaking?

It works the same way, the kite acts like a wing and provides pull and something (kiteboard, fins, hydrofoil, etc.) resists that pull and provides a perpendicular force to the force from the kite power line.
