Am I damaging my kayak? Pics taken - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Have a yard, get rid of a bunch of that crap in your garage and build a hoist system. Kayak are molded plastic but will and contour itself to whatever its sitting on. One day I left mine on a sawhorse for 30minutes in the sun and when I finally realized what I did it had already molded itself to the shape of the area that was supporting it. Now I never lay it flat or on its side for long periods.

Building a hoist system is easier than you think. Since you have the space for it why not do it?
