How to load a kayak on top of a car by yourself

How to load a Kayak or canoe on top of a car or Jeep Grand Cherokee by yourself in 34 seconds, and how to take the kayak off again in 38 seconds.
You can use a bow fender or buoy from a boat shop and attach it across the car.
The kayak will slide very easily as you can see in the video.

This is a great video & I thank you For your efforts; however, it would have helped me more, if it included video of the hardware structure on your Jeep for your strap set-up, the straps used, and video of lashing the kayak to the rack - that actual task being completed Being a woman who is only 5ft 4in tall w zero experience securing things on a car rack, I know I would need a step ladder, and to see exactly how to do that properly or I will be panicking that it's going to fly off of my car when driving down the road! It would be my luck! If anyone knows of good video w that kind of instruction please post the link, here, for me. Thanks again to all!

thank you this looks easier then I thought

Thank you for the idea, you make it look so easy! How heavy is the kayak in this video?

[@Dutcharmytent]

Its not heavy if you are only lifting one end up. The average person could do this easily. This is the Perception sea going kayak, and they come lighter than this.

Good Idea, but no good for me In Shetland if the wind gets up.

What is the ball thing on top the kayak rested on when putting up there

[@Dutcharmytent]

It is a boat fender. Like a inflated sausage type..They hang down the gun whales of a boat to protect it.

Amazing!

How did you get that boat fender on there?

[@Dutcharmytent]

Two hooks or you could use 8mm rope ?

If the wind gets up we stay in.
