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!!!

    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

    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.
