I've been out about 5 times with my falcon sail and now watching you guys on a day like this I'm really impressed
Wow! Awesome! Some of those waves were almost breaking! What fun!
Yes it was a lot of fun! It is always fun. I can hardly imagine having a kayak without a good sail on it.
What version of a Go Pro are you using to film it?
The stern mounted camera is a GoPro7 and the hand held camera is a Olympus TG6. I am going to try the GoPro7 hand held some time soon. Olympus TG line was better for hand held recording, but the GoPro7 is hard to beat. And of course it has bee upgraded to the GoPro8 and 9 I think which are upgrades for sure, but not a whole lot I think. Currently I have 2 GoPro 7 cameras and a GoPro 8.
I've been really considering getting a falcon sail. I only have a standard Pelican ARGO100XR. Are falcon sails too much sail for this little kayak? I am surrounded by fresh water lakes, no ocean or great lakes.
With a good quality sail rig, short wider kayaks like this are great for kayak sailing.
They are stable, and their length makes them better for Kayak Sailing.
Their hulls usually have some nice contour to them to give more lateral resistance and better upwind potential.
10 feet is plenty of room for the mast, boom, and sail in both the up and down positions.
Its length is good to be fast enough to generate a lot of lateral resistance sailing across the wind, and even upwind surprisingly well.
It is short enough to still be maneuverable.
You can set a course, and stay on course very easily. And you can adjust your course.
With a little bit of leaning forward and back, you can change the center of lateral resistance and make the boat turn upwind and downwind very easily.
Longer kayaks are harder to handle.
Being stable opens a lot of sailing doors. It will allow you to quickly become comfortable in a lot of different wind conditions.
Here is a link to some pictures of shorter kayaks with Falcon Sails on them.
Some of them are Pelican Kayaks

Here are a few videos to check out.
Here a video of a guy is enjoying a sail along the beach easily reaching across the wind.
With a little sailing practice and a on shore wind, you can very easily sail across the wind along a beach and return sail back.
