THE CRUISER SAIL
Kayaking is Fun and being able to Sail your Kayak is simply in a nut shell the best time you will ever have in your craft.
For more information on this wonderful concept what better place to get it than the Manufacturer himself . – Nick at www.windpaddle.com
To demonstrate the simplicity and ease of use of the Windpaddle system we took to the waters on a wild West Cork day to show how even in demanding conditions the sail can be deployed, paddled and safely stowed in a matter of seconds on the water. The following videos demonstrate why the Windpaddle is the safest Kayak sail currently on the market.
