WindPaddle thinks differently, believing in innovation and quality. We make novel accessories for the paddle sports industry, all with a lifetime warranty. Find out about our new GREEN SHIPPING policy!. (hint: it’s a free shipping option).
Starting with the original WindPaddle “Adventure” sail in 2008, we created a new product genre; folding/coiling sails for kayaks and canoes and are now the best-selling paddle-boat sail on the market. Then we made the Sun Shade with similar results. Today we’re doing that again with the new “Release Right” floating fish net.

WindPaddle Floating Fishing Net
Fishing is fun yet busy work, But with the WindPaddle floating fish net, you have one more hand free to play your catch, photograph and even harmlessly release your catch if you choose. Take it easy on your fish and on you with our hands-free floating fish net.
A quick release, hands free fish net that floats! (patent pending)
The WindPaddle “Release-Right” is a big 29” net, yet comes stowed in a coiled 3-ring shape only 11” wide and at only 12 ounces, you can store it almost anywhere. Deploy the net by simply tossing it out over the water next to your boat and Voila!…it opens and lands floating with a 24” deep holding well to keep your catch.
The net attaches to the side of your boat so it’s not going anywhere, nor is your catch: fish STAY in the net.
No worries about your prize catch jumping out. Directly beneath the floating frame is a 9” solid black curtain. This dark ring just below the water’s surface drives the fish deep down into the bottom net material that reaches to 24” below the surface.

- Size coiled/stowed, 11″

Ease of Set-up
We developed the WindPaddle to quickly and easily connect to the deck of any boat. The simple to use clips on the mounting harness make this possible. Connect to your boat or or switch between boats in seconds. If your boat has anything that can be clipped to - including deck lines, cleats, bungees, pad eyes, fairleads, thwarts, handholds on the gunwale or bench seat - you can attach your WindPaddle to it!
Ease of Use
The WindPaddle sail deploys in a matter of seconds from the on-deck location. A continuous sheet (or steering line) allows the paddler to easily control the sail while keeping their paddle in their hands for bracing and steering. We also placed a large window in the center panel of the sail for visibility.
Safety
The WindPaddle design puts the center of force of the sail down low, at about the same level as the paddler, making the boat/sail combination incredibly stable and easy-to-use.
WindPaddle Sun Shade - Medium
The WindPaddle Sun Shade is a flexible shade that connects to your boat using existing loops, lines, eyepads and other hardware already on your boat. Comes with 2 mounting cleats if you don’t have connection points in the optimal location to use, or want to insure a more stable connection to your boat.
Our most universal sized sun shade. Fits on most any boat from fishing kayak to sea kayaks and canoes. Best for mid-sized boats; Coosa’s, Tarpon’s, Pungo’s, Tempest’s, Hobie Outback’s, Jackson Rogue’s, Dagger Zydeco, etc. The Medium is the best sized shade in our line for maximizing shade but with good wind tolerance and stability. A good fit for taller paddlers or for boats with high seating. Our choice for fishing!
The Sun Shade can be released so it will lay down behind the boat, out of the way to let the sun shine in, or allow you un-restricted movement to play your fish.
