@@PeterMüller-m7l I’m sure different sails will be different quality. My one doesn’t have a name/brand on it but you can find a link to my one in the video description if you wanted to look at it ⛵️
@@MorewithMat Might be talking about the Pacific Action Sails for kayaks. Not sure how you would go attaching it to a SUP though and they get expensive.
I have used a paddle sail on my kayak. Greaat fun but difficult to steer using the paddle and turning the sail. Used it on the journey back on the river Fowey. 3 miles and only hit 3 boats moored up. Still am 71 so thats my excuse !
I will have to try it out on the kayak! Yeh I can imagine especially as I guess it’s fixed in place whilst kayaking! Oh no that’s not good! 😅 1 boat per mile at least you’re consistent! 😂 Fair play I hope I am still paddling at 71! 🙌🏼
100% 🙌🏼 This sail collapses straight away if you let go of it with how I had it set up but would still be moving quite quick in these conditions! 💨🏄🏼♂️
It seems really fast. I was wondering if you could compare normal paddling speed x sailing speed. Also, another question; what we do if wind is towards? forget it and paddle?
Yes it was pretty quick for a paddle! 😅 This also was stronger than normal winds so much faster than usual! Not sure of exact speed as did not have Garmin or anything on but at a guess must have been atleast double! Yes pretty much, unless you can tack
Can't wait to see this technique tried. One of the reasons you wouldn't steer a canoe from the front is how unstable it gets, so it should be interesting, especially with one hand.
@@arisntivartzis8300 nice haha! I’ve not tried using against the wind yet was defo too windy to try on this day! But guess you would try to tack like you would in a sailing boat. Will have to get it out again and have another go with it! ⛵️💨
@@MorewithMat well... i got this 2 weeks ago... that was really funny.. but i could some how turn or sail parallel the wind... it was difficult tho.. i think that works only having the eind behind you..
@@arisntivartzis8300 oh nice glad you had fun! Yeh it’s a tricky one to use feels like you need a few more attachments to make it really functional! ⛵️
could be better to have a small sail? I have a bigger sail like this and its need to much wind? Allways collaps down.
@@PeterMüller-m7l not sure I’ve only ever used this one ⛵️ Guessing if it’s windy enough a big sail is better but might be harder to control
you can additional use an electic Motor? Jaykay E Fin? but too much stress to handle all systems
@@PeterMüller-m7l yes I’m sure you could if you had the skills 😂 Like you say might be a bit too much going on! 🏄🏼♂️
is the quality of sails different? What is the name of your sail? My sail does not work properliy...thx

@@MorewithMat greetings from germany. Bavaria . thx
@@PeterMüller-m7l greetings 👋🏼 No worries! 🙌🏼🌊
Based on the research i have done, i think the v-shaped sails on kayaks are far more effective and maneuverable than the circular ones.
@@elektrofry interesting 🤔 Might have to give one a go! Is that research online or physically trying them out?

@@Macbrand oh yes just looked them up! They look very good and just the sort of thing you need! But also like you say at a price point ⛵️
That looks like a heck of a lot of fun. I'm going to try one of those on my kayak this year.
Haha yes it was good fun! Feel like with a few tweaks it could be really good and effective! 🙌🏼 Nice enjoy! I’ll defo be using it some more! ⛵️

Goes without saying how important your tether is in windy conditions, add a sail and good luck catching up to your SUP if you fall off.

This is the reason you should never sup without a lease...
With or without sail
@@simplyme9336 yes in these conditions you could soon find yourself separated if not if you were to fall in! 😅
@@MorewithMat true.. happened to me as well.. but nontheless that's the whole point of having a leash.. in case you fall in..
@@simplyme9336 oh no that’s not good! Yes definitely vital when out like this! 🏄🏼♂️
Respect!
McKenzie river in Oregon has the up canyon, next minute down canyon challenge.
Full dry suit required @ 37 degrees.
No way that sounds like fun! 🏄🏼♂️ Cold but fun! 😂🏄🏼♂️ Have you done it before?

Bought one off ali express
Arrived with no bloody straps😡
Oh no that’s annoying! 👎🏼 See if you can get a refund/some sent out 😬
Looks great Mat! Can you pls post a link to the sail! Would love yo pick one up. Tks
Hi Mark yes good fun addition! ⛵️ Of course - amzn.to/3UrdbfX
You steer with the paddle facing forward and move it to either side of the nose as you want to turn, you turn very sharply though.
Oh so like have it out in front like jousting? 😂 That makes sense tbf but yeh like you say must be violent!

@@Steveriknows haha would make for interesting watching 😂🏄🏼♂️
