It’s three years since we did our final full-blown - literally - tests on the Footloose Max, and it’s now out there in the big blue being powered along by hundreds of happy paddlers.
It’ll get you sailing in lighter winds, and you can reef it when things get out of hand, like they were in this video….!

The Footloose Max in Nadgee,
Pair a Footloose Max with a fast Audax sea kayak, a full expedition load and one of Australia’s wildest stretches of remote coast and you really get to see what our latest high performance sail can do.

Introducing the Footloose Max, our latest sail, with the new SoloReef system.

Designed in a collaboration between Rob Mercer and master sail-maker Neil Tasker, the Max is a high performance sail that brings maximum wind power without producing an unsteady ride.

Whilst the sail area isn't technically much bigger than the acclaimed Footloose 0.8m sail introduced in 2019, the subtleties in the overall shape and belly of the design produce a strong and stable drive.

It'll be hugely popular with kayak sailors who prefer to sail in winds that traditionally aren't strong enough to give much assistance, while for the alphas it'll provide a high octane ride in winds up to 20-25kn, and a solid platform for the expeditioner in fully laden kayaks.

It's our first sail with an integrated reefing system, the SoloReef, which allows the paddler to reef the sail from the cockpit while underway, as opposed to having to tie knots in eyelets, which isn't practical in moving water.

Available in our tradition Black and Red trim options, as well as the new Super Vis Orange for added visibility out on the big blue.

We think this will be our biggest selling sail yet, building on the huge popularity of the Footloose range.

How beautiful is this...??

With a couple of small mods to position of the uphaul and sheet cleats, he's ready to go.
Just brilliant.

Our latest Flat Earth Kayak Sail design, prototyped and ready to roll, the Footloose Max.
A big-bellied sail for people who want to sail in lower winds, or the Alpha's who really want to tear it up, this is a development on Mick MacRobb's Footloose 80, harnessing the decades of sail making experience that Neil Tasker brings to his cutting table.
