my very first hobie kayak (new member) - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

To store kayak on side. In the summers heat the side will collapse and you will a dent. Forgive me for going off subject.

. Just looking out. Find studs on ceiling and possibly hang could be one solution. And the collapsing side is something I experienced with one of my first outbacks.

I like to run one tie-down strap through the two side handles. When I have the kayak on the roof or on dolly.

That way the kayak would get off the roof or dolly, no matter what.

Expect some minor damage to car when getting into kayak transporting.

My front railing on roof rack of my 4Runner got bent and the tip of the holding screw put a small dent in the roof and scratched the paint.

I use the SUV for fun, so it is part of the deal.
