You ladies are an inspiration! I am a man at 67 and I would like to have a kayak! I can do this!

Brilliant! Love the noodle on the door and the flip! I hope I can still be kayaking when I'm 71

First off, I hope you ladies are still at it! Amazing to see this! Secondly, WOW! That door thing is a game changer! That will help someone loading solo! Thank you for posting

LOL Thanks.. As a 66 year old with a 70 year old hubby and a Envoy, I was trying to figure out how to get the kayaks up on the higher car. Excellent work ladies.

Thanks ladies, as a 30yo female I've been trying to figure out how to do this solo (unsuccessfully) and your method gives me an idea of how to start 👍

I load using a rubber backed bath mat ,I.lay it over the back ,over the window and slide it up.on to racks

Simply beautiful. Driving a 4Runner for the cherry on top. Great work ladies!

Nicely done! Good rolling technique when placing the kayak on the J rack.

I love the "flip" at the 2:23 minute mark! So helpful when struggling with a heavy kayak. Thanks!

Perfect!! I have a mid-70's friend who wants to kayak with me, but has never been able to lift her end of the kayak to get it on the car roof. With this method, we got it on in minutes! Thank you so much for sharing this video!!!

Thank you for the video on how to. Your method was perfect. My partner and I just picked up two kayaks (we are two women in our 60's) one (me) is 5' (most videos were tall men installing on short cars) We have done it now twice it is perfect. Thank you

That is inspired........ the foam tube on the top of the door. Brilliant.

I love this, Ladies!! Thank you so much!

Great technique you've come up with. My wife and I will try that with our new kayaks tomorrow. :) Thanks!

I've been doing this 17 years now, but I really enjoyed your video and learned a few things. Thanks! Brilliant bow/fore tie-down, aft as well??? (I've heard dozens of 'lost my yak from my rack' stories. In none of them were both the bow and stern tied down. Some were only one of them. For your fore/bow tie down open up your hood. Near the side you'll see sheet metal bolts/screws (with flanges - so you don't need washers) holding the fender onto the main body. Unscrew one on each side. Make a loop out of thin webbing and burn a hole through it with a hot bolt (different bolt held in visegrips) or soldering iron. Bolt this to your truck. (I thought I'd better get a longer bolts... but you probably won't need it.) Now you have a loops sticking out from under the sides of your hood (or if you're going to the prom you can tuck them under the hood out of sight.) This system makes really effective tie-points for the bow. (Done this for at least ten years, and I started out using webbing from an old NRS strap, and it's still good. ) For the stern/aft if there are not two tie points under the bumper get a couple of hood anchors (link below) You just close the trunk or back hatch on them. Happy paddling! www.rei.com/product/129550/yakima-hood-anchor-pair?CAWELAID=120217890005260358&CAGPSPN=pla&CAAGID=102031206402&CATCI=pla-647846793062&cm_mmc=PLA_Google%7C21700000001700551_1295500001%7C92700053259074074%7CTOF%7C71700000062011427&gclid=Cj0KCQjwrJOMBhCZARIsAGEd4VFXdL5YEZ2j2BQx7rWTDft7WwedDnl4yGI5Z2tkUuasrsL2el7WQKMaAhPOEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Thank you for this video. Helped us a lot

Noodles on the top of the back doors is a great idea. There sure is a lot of paint scratching going on though with the strap clamps & the kayaks!

Thank you so much for sharing this video, this is so helpful!!

You made it look so easy! Nice job!

This is BRILLIANT!! I am going to try this asap

Wow brilliant! I will try it next time!

I'm in love!

Woww It help me a lot I’m kayak beginner and I love it!

Thanks for the video, really helpful! 👍

Great job ladies!!! If a noodle isn't available to use, consider a padded blanket (like a moving pad) thrown over the door to cushion the kayak and protect the door seal.

Pipe insulation has a readymade split ...

Thank you ladies.Me and my daughter got those kinda kayaks and they are super heavy.Wasnt sure how we would get them up on the j rack with a suv.

Yaaasss!! You’re so cute. Thanks for the tip!! Kayakers unite!

Bravo! Thanks for sharing

Y’all rock 👏

These fine "girls" proving age is just a number!

Genius!

A proper kayak trailer is safer and much more easy to load/unload.

Be careful on that top step, when you're over 70, and paddle on!

Is it not one man and one woman? Anyway, very good team work and very helpful video.
