Falcon Sails

05/17/2026

The variety of paddle craft we see rigged with Falcon Sails is endless. Combine any paddle craft with a high performance sail and when the wind hits you are in for a great time.

In this case, we had a chance to have a close look at a Epic V5 compoiste surfski all rigged up with a Falcon Sail.

Thank you Eric Miller for stopping by the shop to show how nicely your surfski has been rigged. We are looking forward to some paddle sail reports comming soon. :)

Customers love to send us Videos. I am posting one of a Perception Essense 17 to show somebody how well it sails.

It does not matter what kayak you have. If you put a good quality sail on it, when the wind is blowing, you will get some great propulsion with a Falcon Sail. In this case, the Dirk Zwister of Leiden Netherlands is having a great sail with his 1.0 square meter Falcon Sail. It does not matter what kayak you have. When you order a Falcon Sail with a complete rigging kit you will have everything you need for an easy and solid rigging job. There is no faster or more economical way to have the propulison of a quality high performance sail.

We had a special guest in our shop today. Joe Joseph Solomon who is gearing up for his next long distance paddle sailing adventure.

He brought is Wenonah canoe in for a inspection and tune up.
It looks amazing.

Notice how compactly the sail stows in the down position. It is like it is not even there.

Thanks for stopping by.

Falcon Kayak Sailor Bobby Johnson aka JustKeepPaddling takes first place in the 300 Mile Everglades Challenge Adventure Race. He was the first Class 1 finisher on Tuesday March 10th.

Bobby used a 1.1 square meter Falcon Sail, which was designed specifically for this adventure race. Bobby is simply one of the best & strongest paddlers you will ever meet. He would have done well without his Falcon Sail, but having top top-tier athletes like Bobby choose to use Falcon Sails, is a clear source of pride.

He finished the 300 mile course in 3 days 8 hours 53 minutes. That is roughly 81 hours including rest, check ins, eating, setting up & tearing down camp, navigating, correcting mistakes, having fun, and dealing with everything that happens along the way on a unsupported adventure race.

He averaged 88 miles per 24 hours. That includes rest, check ins, eating, setting up & tearing down camp, navigating, correcting mistakes, having fun, and dealing with everything that happens along the way on a unsupported adventure race. 88 miles in one day, is amazing but to keep that pace for over 3 days is hard to believe. No matter how you cut it, this is one majorly impressive feat even with the best kayak sail on the planet. Falcon Sails is very happy to be a small part of another impressive feat.

Thank you Bobby Johnson for taking us along for the ride.

There is more to the story,
Just getting to the starting line of this race is a major challenge. Finishing at all is a major accomplishment, finishing days ahead of the final cut off is impressive. Another Everglades Challenge Competitor Casey Woods aka SaltyMoose took a first place finish in Class 3 way ahead of the cut off with a time of 5 days 7 hours 41 minutes. That is totally impressive. A picture of his twin masted Falcon Sail rig is included below. He was in a Kruger Dream Catcher.

Both experts and beginners are looking for the same thing. They want a light weight compact rig that is easy to use, that is reliable & provides amazing performance on all angles of attack.

Thank you Stellar Kayaks for making Falcon Sails part of your Canoecopia 2026 display.

Falcon Sails was honored when asked to display a Falcon Sail on the newly released Stellar Nomad kayak at Canoecopia 2026.

This boat is amazing. All of the Stellar Kayaks are amazing. Their designs are great & their build quality is the best you will find anywhere on this planet. They are so light weight and stiff you would be surprised.

Patrick Forrester of Falcon Sails made a introduction of Ed Hofmeister & David Thomas designers / owners of Stellar USA and spoke a little bit about his impression of Stellar Kayaks.

There are some detailed pictures of the kayak and sail rigging as well.
