How to Load 2 Kayaks On SUV
Спорт
People have been asking me how I keep the kayaks up like that.. I pull up to the boat ramp and guys are always looking and asking questions. Well here it is.... Pretty simple how to load 2 kayaks using the roof rack. I use the Swiss Cargo 3 in 1 Kayak Rack. This is a step by step tutorial on how to load the kayaks. You can use it on a car or SUV as long as you have the cross bars.. Thanks for watching!!!

As I've seen others say I watch this every spring to refresh my memory too. Thanks❤
Great video - thanks. I'd just recommend tying off to front and back bumper or frame for safety on the highway.
Wow thank you! That is exactly what I was looking for. You're a natural teacher.
Great video! I just bought 2 kayaks and this same holder, this technique works great and it made me look like I knew what I was doing! Thank you
Just bought 2 kayaks and couldn't have used them without your video. Thanks!

Very informative. Great instructional video. Made it so easy for us to tie down the kayak.. and this time there wasn't that horrible wind noise.. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the fantastic demo and explanation of why you do it your way. Saves so much time. This is the best video for this application that I have found.
In a sea (pun intended) of bullshit videos showing kayak loading, your video is the most thorough and helpful. THank you for taking the time to show how to load the kayak on a SUV and on a J rack and not one but two kayaks. This should be in the hall of fame of KZread instructional videos. Thanks

Very helpful, that was the number 1 thing that had me worried when I bought our kayaks, getting them to the water. Thanks for the help.
Thank you! I just bought 1 and yours was the first video that I watched. Great job!
Thanks for the explanation, got the racks on and my kayaks on within minutes.
Wish my wife and I saw this video before we picked up our kayaks at sams club this morning... we had no clue what we were doing! We do now, thanks to you
Thank you so much! I am a single Mom and my son and I just bought two Pelican Trailblazer 100 kayaks. I decided to buy this Kayak rack because of your demonstration. You made it really easy. Thanks!

Great video! I have a Chevy SUV just like this one so it was reassuring you could use the factory crossbars to attach your kayak rack.
Thanks for taking the time to complete this tutorial, really useful for beginners like myself.
Thanks for the great video. I have the same rack, but have had trouble keeping my 12 ft fishing kayak from shifting while transporting. I snugged the straps tight each time.
Excellent video, very informative and helpful for me. Thank you for taking the time to do it.
Sweet! I just bought an old Envoy and was wondering about those crossbars on the rack. Looks like Ive got no worries! I appreciate your video man thanks

Thanks, this really helped me with loading two kayaks on the same type of rack.
Perfect video for what I needed. Instructions were fuzzy black and white pictures. Had no idea where the straps were going. Thank you. Have a 14 hour drive. I'll keep you posted if I had to make any adjustments.

Thanks. Your tips really helped with my first kayak trip.
Just what I was looking for! Thanks so much for the video.
just got mine today, this is a great video for teaching me the rack and the tie down technique. only thing i have to add is bow/stern straps or insurance won't cover in event of accident. thanks for such a thorough step by step.

Thank you for this through video, it's the best on youtube.
Took 2 kayaks from Ohio to Northern Georgian Bay - about 550 miles. Followed these instructions on how to mount and tie down the kayaks and had no problems and one was a large fishing kayak. We didn't do any extra tie downs and I often forgot they where there because they were so quiet. We even crossed several bridges with high wind warnings without a hitch! Thanks for the great instructions!!!!!! And just an FYI we were in a minivan not SUV.

and FYI, stern and bow ties are required by most states, and in the event of an accident your insurance most times will not cover the accident if you did not have stern and bow tie downs, if done right it take 60 secs to be covered
Perfect, exactly what I was looking for , thanks for posting
Nicely done, very thorough! Just wish I could hoist my kayak up like that.
Thanks, bud. You made it look real easy... here's to hoping it works like this when I get my crossbars installed. Hah! Happy 'yaking!
You saved me a lot of possible frustration! Thanks, great video!
excellent! thank you for taking the time to make this very useful video.
Best video!! Thanks so much!! Much easier than my first go around!!
Great tip about the strap placement!
Extremely helpful video - thanks for making it!
Great video and concise instructions. Thanks.
You’re an angel. Thanks for this video tutorial
Thank you! Great instruction. Of course I did mine the wrong way until I saw this, LOL... Thanks again and happy yaking... (I am a subscriber!)
Thanks dude. I got this rack and I was having a hard time standing on top of my SUV. Now I know to loop the straps beforehand. People should invest in some ratchet straps. They work way better than the cheap ones that come with the rack. Now I just have to find how to better tie off the front and back. You should also tie the slack more than a single knot. Double is better.

Ratchet straps will damage the kayaks
Extremely helpful. Thank you very much !
FINALLLLLY - A ‘true’ step-by-step detailed instruction WITH “key points to be aware of” (align straps so when you toss over they don’t whack the vehicle windows or metal). You even show how to tie to avoid wind noise and vibrations. Excellent job!
Thank You! Watching from Central Texas.
Super cool and useful video. Thanks for taking the time.
Really instructive and helpful. I thought by having a few twists in your strap you reduced vibration? Thanks for vid really made me feel more secure.

Thank you! And just like alit of comments say, you can put straps to the front and back for more safety, I never have and it’s been good for years.
Thanks for paying attention to the detail. Good video.
Thanks! Giving it a first try tomorrow.
Awesome video man just what I needed !
So incredibly helpful! My son and I had a new rack and went out yesterday and after 20 minutes on the river, we got word that there were 60 mph winds and hail approaching....thanks to you we got 2 kayaks on the roof and avoided disaster. How do I load one kayak on my own?
Extremely helpful. Thank you!! 😊
Exactly the advice I needed. Thanks
Great job on the video. Very helpful!!!
Thank you so much. I got this today and the directions sucked so bad. Thanks a ton for taking the time to post this.

Bro the hair is fresh. I came here to learn how to mount kayaks and I learned it's totally worth my hair looking ridiculous right now to bun it after six-months-to-a-year.
