Beaches in Santa Barbara are nice every summer, and deep in sand parking a little farther from launch, thats why i invested in myself..

Thumbs up Kick stand for your hobie wheels

I do not like the idea of flipping the kayak on the side to insert the wheels on my hobie kayak so I think I am gonna put a kick stand to hold the wheel unit erect and lift the back end of the yak over the wheel posts then into the scupper holes. That way I don't have to take everything out of the yak.

I have already fabbed this up, well my son did, welded a bung on the Hobie plug in and made a removeable stand works well
