Frequently Asked Questions
Can I attach a sail to a regular paddleboard?
Yes. WINDpaddling lets you turn many standard SUP paddleboards into a sailboat without needing to install a traditional mast mount.
Do I need a special WindSUP paddleboard?
No. WINDpaddling is designed for use with regular paddleboards, so you don’t need to buy a special WindSUP board.
Can I use my own SUP paddle?
Yes. If you choose the WINDpaddling set with straps, you can use your own compatible SUP paddle.
Can I switch between paddling and sailing?
Yes. One of the main advantages of WINDpaddling is that you can easily switch between regular paddling and sailing depending on the conditions.
How long does it take to switch from paddling to sailing?
About 40 seconds once you’ve got the hang of using the system.
Can I sail upwind with WINDpaddling?
Yes. The ability to sail upwind depends on the type of paddleboard, wind speed and direction, and fin setup. Using a center fin can significantly improve upwind performance.
What is the difference between WINDpaddling and windsurfing?
Unlike traditional windsurfing, where the mast is fixed to the board, WINDpaddling uses a different system in which neither the paddle nor the sail is permanently attached to the paddleboard.
What is the difference between the two WINDpaddling sets?
There are two options: a complete set with our paddle and a set without a paddle, designed for use with your own compatible SUP paddle. You can find the exact contents of each option in the description of the individual product.
Can I choose the color?
Yes. You can choose an available color directly on the product page before adding the item to your cart.
