Okay, you've done your homework and have the right kayak - you now need to make another decision.
Some kayaks are heavy and cumbersome - especially rigged fishing kayaks. Several vehicles will create different situations to deal with.
For example, if you have a high vehicle may not be convenient for you to carry your kayak on the roof - perhaps a trailer is the way to go, or Hullavator.
Maybe you have a health problem or injury that will prevent him from lifting a kayak. Let's review some of the different methods to transport your kayak (s).
Most kayak transport requirements can be met by adding a rack aftermarket system. A rack system comprises bars and feet (adapters) that secure the system in your vehicle.
The most commonly used systems are manufactured by Thule and Yakima. These types of materials offer the highest weight capacity and are the safest way to transport kayaks in a vehicle.
Many cars come with a factory bars (usually flat oblong shape) and can work well to carry your kayak and can generally be equipped with the most kayak carriers, but they lack the carrying capacity and long-term strength of good rack system after-market.
So if you need to carry multiple kayaks kayak or even a heavy car, invest in a good rack system will be your best option.
This method is like the type of tape transport approach for kayaking. With this system, foam blocks are placed on the roof of the car and the kayak is bound sandwich foam between the roof and kayaking. We recommend TRAILEX Trailers.
For those wanting to take over a kayak they also make different kayak trailers.
Rack pads
Rack pads were originally designed for surfboards, but work well for kayaks.
Rack pads are a great choice if you wear kayak upside (the roof opposite bench area), performing stomach that you put the burden on the gunwale (the strongest part of the kayak) and it is how many kayaking companies recommend carrying the kayak to avoid distorting or damaging the hull.
Advantages: As foam blocks can be a very economical package, especially if you already have bars on your vehicle. Unlike rack foam pads blocks can not fly out of the vehicle.
Cots and Saddles: A very popular way to transport a kayak designed to carry the kayak right side up (as in water). Also, if you carry two kayaks, cribs limiting the usable space in their racks.
J-Carriers: These work by taking your kayak (s) on its side on J-shaped shelves
More J-carriers work well to protect the hull of the kayak damage to tighten the belts. They will also maximize your roof space to allow additional kayaks or other accessories.
Cons: Can be difficult to maneuver the kayak on top of your vehicle and the lateral position of the carrier-J, especially if your vehicle is high. Examples J-carriers Thule Hullaport and Malone Autoloader.
Cars with short roofs can be a challenge - especially cars 2 doors. While foam blocks will work, it is strongly recommended to place a rack system in your car - which will make life easier, protect the roof of your car, and make more space for other accessories and equipment.
Most rack manufacturers make special adapters rack for 2 cars with roofs shorter doors. Both Thule and Yakima are good system for cars.
Most SUV comes with original materials that work well for most kayak carriers and transport accessories. Factory racks systems have weight limits, but most can manage 1 or 2 medium and light kayaks without any problems.
A popular way to carry two kayaks with a factory system is to wear a J in a vehicle and the other plane or face down on the bars. Note: It is OK if the bars go beyond the roof.
Nothing is easier than strapping a kayak in the bed of a pickup truck and hit the road.
If kayaking is hanging over the end of your tailgate you should hang a banner on it for safety. An extension is a device that connects to a pattern 2 mounting commitment and give you up to 4 'more support under your kayak.
Whatever system you use, you will still physically define kayaking on it.
Thule Hydro Glide: help loading your kayak from one end of your vehicle and also acts to keep the kayak during transport. kayak easily in the felt covered.
Thule Roller coaster: a roller attached to a set of saddle which allows you to push the kayak on the roof of the rear of the vehicle.
Loading Bars: Thule and other companies make a bar that extends out so that you can lift one end of the kayak at the bar, then the other side of your rack.
Lift Assist Accessories: Companies are now accessories to help get your kayak to your roof.
One such product is the Hullavator by Thule, the power assisted rack bend on the side of the vehicle where the kayak is loaded with size and everything folds on the roof with mechanical assistance - nice!
Load roll: This small device works to help you get your kayak to your vehicle.
A very low-tech option that works particularly well with minivans, SUVs and dual-use vehicles is backed rubber bathmat. Here is a video of a kayak is loaded with a bath mat.
Generally, if you can swing the vehicle without moving the kayak on its perch you are. If the kayak glides back and forth in bars or in patients that you need to go back and tighten the straps.
If using ratchet tie downs style is very easy to overtighten and damage the kayak. So make sure the kayak is comfortable, but do not go overboard.
When transporting on a flat truck not choose locations in the kayak of support that can fail - like handles. We recommend the straps through the holes Kayak Scupper and tying off in the truck bed.
Some roof areas car may compress / tooth when using foam blocks, these teeth usually pop back. Racks and kayaks will lower your MPG vehicle. With the right techniques and equipment, loading, transportation and unloading of your kayak is very handy.
