Sailplanes and Glider Flying

Maybe this is the place to ask this question. Is there a product out there that works like a kite-surfing rig but smaller and able to be rolled up small but still big enough to pull a kayak? Doesn't need to be high speed. It would be stowed in the cockpit or between your feet until you’re out on open water and then pulled out and deployed

Just use a kite surf and put a few eye hooks on your rig
 
My parents did a lot of canoeing. As they got older first my dad rigged a little sail... Then threw an electric motor in the boat. They paddled and unless you were looking for it you could not see the motor. They constantly got praised for their paddling ability.
 
the next great invention - the e-canoe/kayak , so I can get passed by those fuckers too! 🥸
 
I’d be interested in a $20 sail I guess. Overall they’re too big, too expensive and tend to ruin the boat for normal paddling

Had to get out to an island on a lake once in a canoe but didn’t have a paddle. Found a big snow shovel instead. Used it for paddling into the wind. Raised it up as a sail with the wind for the return. Worked great.
 
Pucker factor is high with this guy.

No I came from Slatington Pa. area past Blairstown NJ . I was headed to Wurtsboro and turned around due to lots of Verga . I really wanted to head for the Catskills . I joked with a friend about heading for Gorham NH . If it wasn't for the Verga I might have kept going LOL . Thermals were close to 10kts in areas ( 1000' per minute up)

Took a glider ride out of Blairstown back in the late ‘80s when I lived near the Warren/ Sussex line( Yellow Frame)

Remember the pilot flying over Camelback and doing a nose dive straight down into the water gap, what a rush.
