STORING YOUR KAYAK

Boats made from polyethylene plastic are strong,

rigid and highly impact resistant, but due to

the nature of plastic in general, it is important

to store your boat properly. It is always best to

store your kayak indoors, out of direct sunlight

and protected from inclement weather.

Preferably, you should stand your boat on end

or hang it suspended by slings. Hanging your

boat from its grab loops or handles increases the

chance of warpage. You can also store your boat

on the floor, upside down.

Use slings or webbing straps suspended from the ceiling or wall.

Use foam to pad the areas where the kayak comes into contact with the wall.

Your boat can also be stored hull up on parallel bars with weight supported

evenly throughout.

caution

Do not suspend your kayak by using the grab

loops at either end of the boat. This can cause the

hull to distort over time.

TRANSPORTING YOUR KAYAK

Because of their light weight and shape, kayaks

are ideally suited for car topping. Your primary

concern in carrying your kayak is that it stays

securely tied to the vehicle. As with storage,

another concern should be potential distortion

of the hull.

Car-topping the kayak is best done with a quality

roof rack specifically designed for attaching

kayaks (Thule, Yakima). Foam blocks/cradles

attached to the rack are another option. The

boat should be tied to the vehicle as well as the

rack by its grab handles.

Over tightening bow and stern lines will increase

the likelihood of warpage as will leaving the boat

tied tightly in the sun for prolonged periods.

important

It is recommended to always stop shortly after

the start of your trip to make sure all fittings and

connections are secure and that the kayak will not

shift during travel.
