I bought one on ali express They sent it without the bloody straps😡

Always face the camera with your shoulders to avoid neck problems

Doesn t your body block most of the wind

How to go up wind?

he is sitting on a big mambo 🤔

Nice video!!! Thanks for sharing!!!! I 'll like to ask you what you do about sailing if the wind is in contrary direction?

I use an umbrella

Wind paddle 🤣 that's called sailing

This is the best series on kayak sails I have ever seen. Superb explanation and execution, this has helped me so much, especially as it is advised to practice, practice, practice, before going on the water. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to post.

Thanks for the tutorial! 👏🏼

are you saying you can sail against the wind by putting sail to one side? If you can only go down wind. You would have to paddle back?

Where do you place the keel? Taking into account that the sail is located so far forward (spinnaker) do you place the keel in the center of the kayak or more forward, three quarters of the length, bringing it closer to the bow?

Thanks, man! Like Deefer below I had watched 5 other videos and was just about ready to use the "bin method" when I clicked on your vid and folded my said in 10 seconds. You, sir, are a foldsmith. Thanks.

This is the best demonstration of how to fold these thing up on KZfaq. I got my sail folded first go after watching this demo, that's after many previous failed attempts. Now I can fold it whilst sitting in the kayak and redeploying in seconds.

Couldn't you tie it to one end of the paddle then have the other end of the paddle trailing in the water behind you acting as a rudder? And the paddle could be partially supported on your shoulder. That way the sail can be easily held up and you can control both sail and rudder together at once.

Hi Darren! I see you shot this video 8 years ago. I'm looking for best "WindPaddle" type sail on the market today in 2021. Has anything been improved? I have an inflatable kayak full deck. I am looking to do Great Glen challenge in Scotland and sail would help me to get across 23 mile (36km) long Loch Ness. Many thanks

Best kayak sail instruction I have seen so far. Thank you.

Got any tips for repair of the frame or a substitute frame in flexi metal of some sort that won’t snap?

Where did you get yours from is it a recommended make….mine, two of them, just snapped when releasing.

Sorry Darren but you're voice bored me to tears lol

I look to you in slow motion and I did not succeed to unpack the sail like you

I just got my new WindPaddle. Yes, someone is Australia still (Dec 2020) has them for sale. I find your "chin to win" (or whatever it is) is the worst mnemonic i've ever heard. I find the "official" method of folding easier than your methods. I do appreciate your other WindPaddle instructional vids, though.

Very good video, Thanks Man

I bought a sail just in time to pack it up for the winter. :(. Great videoi can't wait to try these techniques next year

Thanks man,good video.

Thank you very match the best video for folding this sail.

Like it, the simplest ideas are always the best, I have my sail now just need to look for a boat 😀......

Ha ha ha....omg. I can’t get just the hands part. Why isn’t there a common sense natural way to fold it?

Good stuff, thank you!

Anyone any experience of capsizing with this . Is rolling up possible ?

very useful and instructive video, thanks for posting

Gracias!

A helpful series. People should use a wind muff on the mike to make these videos. It's a problem for the sound on so many KZfaq videos.

I should say i have also put my paddle in down the side of my boat ( i have a rudder) and use it as a leeboard so you can point a little best only trying this in fairly calmer conditions, it i think only going to work a bit and only with a rudder be safe and practice in a sheltered bit with a little bit wind be safe remember your safety is in your hands good luck .

Ps i have used it as a kind of sea anchor a little.

I have used a golf umbrella for years definitely good fun i put 50 lb break and strain line from each arm of it back to the main shaft , a small float so it wont sink , that way if it gets hairy you can just let it go and it floats and still retrieve it

Thanks, Darren. I have enjoyed using my sail for a year now. A couple of very worthwhile tips here. Request: On-water tips, especially in stronger winds. Paul

Thank you for your great informative video....looking forward to trying mine out soon.

Great vid Plan on trying mine out soon

many thanks.

thats the same as i used yesterday

Very helpful tape trick explanation. It helped me realize why the batten was twisting. I put some tape on and ... voila!

The only instructions that really helped! Thanks heaps!
