I'm sure that I don't have the skill to do that yet, but I think it would be difficult with this kayak because of the extremely flat bottom. I wasn't able to tack back and forth against the wind. Using the oar as a rudder gives you complete control. Yeah! Our kayaks came with a small triangular sail that is really fun! We flew along with just a bit of wind. Another selling point is that they are MADE IN THE U. For camping, they fit INSIDE our tiny (18 foot) travel trailer. We can put two of them inside, which saves on gas mileage. We got these because they actually fit INSIDE our GMC Acadia SUV. When she jumped back into the water, it hardly rocked the kayak. The advantage to this is that they are VERY stable - I was able to haul my 50 lb dog out of the lake and onto the kayak every time she decided she didn't want to swim anymore. They are wider and have a very flat bottom, and don't seem to have the same grip on the water. They are very easy to paddle, but don't skim through the water as quickly as a traditional kayak. My husband is 6'3 200 pounds and we both fit very comfortably in our kayaks. This is NOT a serious kayak, but it's a heck of a lot of fun. We got these so we can poke around lakes and watch birds and animals. We got a chance to take them out on the river this weekend. We bought one of these and tried it out in the pool and went back the next day to buy 2 more.
