The WindPaddle™ is a self-launching, free-standing sail for kayaks, canoes, sit-on-tops, paddle boards, and other small watercraft.
With the lowest center of gravity of any kayak/canoe sail available, the WindPaddle is the safest sail you can buy!
Weighing only 13 ounces (the Adventure model), the WindPaddle stows on deck in a small folded coil 1/8th its deployed size.
The WindPaddle usually requires NO modifications to your boat. Instead, it clips quickly and easily to existing deck lines or hardware.
Combine this with the ability to be quickly launched and doused while out on the water, you have a safest, easiest-to-use sail available for small watercraft sailing!!

Independant review : Can you roll a kayak with the sail deployed? The answer is yes ... Check out this review.

Inventor's Son on a small Riverboat testing product

So we had this old circa 1977 cigar-shaped riverboat that we took a Sawsall to and put a little skeg on, and went out testing the WindPaddle. (Listen for the osprey's and listen to us curse the powerboaters)

Hillarie from marketing out sailing

Same old converted riverboat, same fun!
