Hi there and Welcome, I’m Dave from SUP Antics and in this video we’re going to take a look at how to use a kayak sail on your paddle board
A few of you may be saying why? - this is stand up paddle boarding - isn’t it?
Well, I have found they really do offer a great deal of fun for less than £20 and definitely worth a try!
Plus, if the wind is in the right direction, you will be able to cover a lot of ground for zero effort - so maybe a touring top tip?
Before we begin let’s just remind ourselves that taking part in any form of paddlesport, or outdoor pursuits involves an element of assumed risk.
Ok let’s go through the contents.
• We’ll cover sailing fundamentals about wind direction, board direction and how to set the sail relative to the wind
• We’ll go through how to set the sail up on your board
• We’ll look at how to steer
• We’ll look at some top tips to get you sailing like a pro
• And finally, theres some further info with other great videos to help you get going

You put a lot of work into this, thanks. The storage of the sail in its open position makes complete sense, but I hadn't even thought of that.

Thanks so much Dave this is really concise. I am getting a lot of ideas from your details on how you rig and Sheet the sail. Mine should be coming in the mail before the weekend and I hope to be able to do a good beamreach with practice, as I hate going too far down wind and having to battle my way back up wind. If I am able to do a decent reach with a little side slippage I can just go back and forth across a bay. What do you find works best on a beam reach? Do you just stick your paddle in the water on the Lee side trying to mimic A lee board or centerboard versus Rudder Strokes? I just feel like my nose of the board will just continue to get blown down wind if there is no resistance
