Can't remember what the name of these guys was. They were showing a very thin foldable sail that pops out of the top of the shaft. A little problem I see with it is that you need two hands to use the sail, so you can't use the paddle at the same time, i.e. you can only use it to increase your downwind speed - which can be nice of course, but don't expect to go anywhere the wind isn't blowing :)

The pop out mechanism:

Is it the Taloo-ard paddle sail? Or something like that?
