have you ever tried sitting the kayak's seat towards the inside of the car so you will get less of a windbag? I have tossed and tied my paddleboard in between my two J hooks. any thoughts about putting the kayaks facing in?

I need one over here in Eugene.

what is the bar size 51 or 53 inches , and the box model, i have the 51 inch bars and not sure if u can fit a box and the holder

Where does a guy find one used 🤔 and not at the cost of feeding my first born child lol

All I could think of while he was talking was Michael from The Office saying “That’s what she said.”

One thing you gotta be careful of tho is when you toss the buckle over the top of the boat it doesn't hit the window! It happened to me just on the very top edge and within 2 hours developed into a huge crack

🚩 You weren't watching (Not that I believe you would would notice or care even when seen lol) when tightening the first strap as the buckle should have been positioned away from the boat surface and Not touching it at all ...especially if it's Not (and yours wasn't) a plastic/rubber coated buckle then it will surely eat into and damage the kayak or at the very least get it all scratched-up in an bad area‼️

Do they always make a noise

Just like a rod and reel the rod should be better than the real

No useful information at all.

OH on top of your car i thought on top of your head

ok so i live in pennsylvania,am I supposed to go to oregon to try out a kayak?

One day someone will invent a screw on paddle blade. 🙄 I will take an aluminum handle with a fiberglass blade or carbon fiber.

I’m 5.10 ft and thinking to get the tsunami 145. What size paddle would you recommend for this kayak? Thanks!

I never use front and back straps when transporting. While they are useful as a backup fail safe should one of your main straps fail, they offer zero advantage to securing the kayak. A better solution I have found while transporting two J racks is to loop the straps through to the opposite J rack. You now have four contacts and the ENTIRE system is way more secure. Both J racks now are secured together with 4 point bracing.

Thank you very much I learned a lot I appreciate your video

I don`t have a Hobie due too they are out of my budget Why all the extensions for the poles ??? I have the rod holders in the track with out all the extensions you have one rod holder on each side and that works well for me . You did not show where a fish finder would be put at or mounted where

how much does that kayak weigh 5lbs? he lifted that thing like it was a feather. What brand was that kayak?

Thanks, Learned a lot. You did great.

And that's how you make nasty scuff marks on the fascia of your new car.

I watched 20 minutes and got more from this man's 5 minutes! Thank you for preparing and not rambling and being mr cool dude! For the record I like that you calm or mellow or what ever, I don't know what it has to do with kayaking!!!!! Some men need to judge and comment on other men for what🤡 ever reason? In secure, gay? Reguardless im sure he needs to talk to someone because its his issue not yours.

Thanks for this video. Today was the first time doing this by myself.

Wow. you left two straps hanging loose. ? I never trust a built in strap on bow or stern of any boat. That bow strap is fine to carry the boat, but using it to tie down a boat or have high tension from 65mph wind will stress it. I tie a loop around the bow and pull back until tight, one on stern pulled forward so the cannoy come off. These are tied to straps protruding from under the hood. If t tie downs on min part of kayak com o, that tie down on the bow will neverold the kayak in high wind at 60 mph.

I watch this at least once every 2 months. Saves me every time! I’ll memorize it eventually. Meantime, thanks for the clear easy to understand tutorial.

Thanks! Great info!!

Haha omg this looks so eaasy for you. Personally…as a 5ft person with a 17ft sea kayak this is NOT an easy task. It's a huge hassel until I hit the water and I realize how in love I am with my sea kayak.

the video is less than 3 minutes long but it felt like 15 minutes long with him talking like that...

Which would you recommend the B&B Whisper or the FeelFree Day Tour for leisure and fishing? Got a new kayak and it didn’t come with a paddle and these are my 2 options

Very straight forward tutorial. Thank you

Great vid, may wanna add.... face cockpit inboard. Reduces wind resistances tremendously.

No mention at all of Wing Paddles...WTF?

Excellent

Oregon woot!!

"Just bend over, pick up your kayak and throw it onto the J hooks." Yah, sure-- like we're all 25 years old, weigh 170 and have good backs. There certainly must be a better system.

Very Helpful tips on how to use and get the right PFD device!thanks.😁

stone after video, not before.

You da man

Thanks for sharing. I'm a newbie and this was very informative. Now let's hope I do it correctly and don't lose a kayak. :)

I found theses tie downs if you don't have any hooks on your car. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CRBXQUK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

was this guy on drugs?? lol

You forgot to say "Thats not going anywhere" after tying it off

What are your thoughts for long trips. A fatter blade or more narrow blade?

Did anyone learn anything from this jam packed informational video?

Wonderful mate, very useful tips.

Nice I remember that. Long time ago

Thanks! Got a ten feet kayak I can throw up easy.
