Short Term Storage Realities - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Irrespective of rules, Mine have been stored right side up all the time. I put two sets of pool noodles under the recessed areas for added support during long idle periods. I have owned 3 PA14's over the last 6 years, live in hot SE Florida, and have yet to note any deformation that I believe will affect the performance of the kayak. During the spring when fishing is hot, The kayak lives on the bed of my Tacoma with the T-bar support. The kayak is never left strapped, except right before I head out for a trip. As soon as I arrive at the destination, unstrapping is the first order of business. Congrats on your new PA14!
