Transportation of your kayak can be made safe and easy with the proper gear. We recommend
the use of a sturdy roof rack system. Racks should be positioned as close to the bulkheads as
possible and use kayak cradles or foam blocks to provide a stable resting platform for the kayak
during transport. Use 1" x 8' cam straps with a proper cam-lock buckle to secure the kayak on the
roof rack. Pay attention that you do not over tighten to the point of distorting the kayak's shape.
Use bow and stern lines to secure the front and rear of the kayak to eliminate any wiggle or pivot
while driving. Again, do not over tighten. Secure a cockpit cover to reduce wind resistance
and also to keep the cockpit free of debris and precipitation during transport.
Do not use ratchet straps as they can easily
be overtightened and damage your kayak.
Periodically check your straps for proper tension
during longer trips as they can get loose over time.
