The Wheeleze make a depression of maybe 1/2" in the soft sand and with a fully loaded kayak, I fish up in Santa Barbara & LJ, in the summer and,,they are so worth it, I have tried to double the HF wheels for years but it does not work. I've actully broke the front handle off the yak with the HF wheels in the soft sand.

Alot of guys spend alot of money on reels and rods, but wont spend much to save your back and legs...
Funny how that works.

The wheeleze cost about 160.00 for the pair included shipping. Cheaper than a nice COD yak seat or FF. When you center the load on the cart, it gives you a light toung weight when pulling thru the sand, and on the street,

I have another set of wheels when I go up North hunting on hard packed land to use in the lakes for trout. EZ.....I just swap out axels , and its done.....simple
When Maui Jim is happy the whole world shines
