Thank you for taking it slow and stating the seemingly obvious like it not mattering whether it’s upside down or right side up. Everyone else blows through all the little details that rack the brain of the overthinkers like me

no good

Thanks this was REALLY helpful!

Would you go on the highway like that?

I use ratchet straps, but just don't tie them too tight.

Unless this kayak has a flat bottom, this is the wrong way to attach it to the roof. It has to be turned upside down in order to avoid causing indentations on the bottom of the kayak

Any tiedown How To that recommends cam straps is kind of messed up from the start. Those things are notorious for letting go and loosening up on their own.

I HONESTLY CAN NOT BELEIVE WHAT i HAVE JUST SEEN WHAT ABOUT FRONT AND REAR TIES IN MY COUNTRY IF YOU DO NOT TIE AT THE FRONT AND REAR YOU ARE NOT INSUERD IF ANYTHING HAPPENS MODERN CARS TRAVEL AT FAST SPEED WHAT ABOUT AIR INDUCTION JESUS JUST SKIP PAST THIS ONE AND HAVE A GOOD LOOK AT OTHERS FOR GOD SAKE !!!!!!!!!!!! IF YOU ARE NEW TO THIS !

This is a joke is it not please tell me you did this for a laugh please Jesus what a shit up load HOW NOT TO LOAD A KAYAK IN ONE EASY LESSON !!!!!!!!!

Thanks so much ❤️

I'm going to try this method this season.

Thanks for this very simple way to tie down the boat. This video was just what I was looking for. To the point with no fluff. Love it.

junk

So I’m debating on not buying a kayak carrier and just using my roof racks to tie it down, has it been safe to travel with? Just hate to buy a kayak rack if it’s not needed. Thx Bob

You saved my life today, spent hours trying to secure a kayak 🙏🏽 cheers from Australia

Your cute fave makes video better lol! Ty

everything you should never do ???????????

What kind of MPH do ya'll trust that to hold the yak to? 80mph?

Why wouldn't you put the tailgate up ? it would get the canoe to a more flat position !

Would this work to tie down kayak to existing cargo rack? I have Santa Fe Sport with cargo rack installed on cross-bars.

Was going to suggest getting someone to sit on the roof first to put a dent in it. That way the kayak will be more stable. No need, tightening up the straps good and firm did it for you. The scratches on the paint will grip well too. Nice.

Imagine being this guys wife

Better the buckles are on the opposite side so the pressure points are also opposite. If on the same side, then the kayak tilts towards that side when you tighten down. Also, very important to tie a knot exactly under the buckle. On many occasions the buckle gets slightly loose and this can be dangerous. If the kayak is a SOT then pass and extra strap through the draining hole and tie it to the bar. This is to prevent it fly off in sudden brake or collision.

where did you get the crossbars from?

2 suggestions move the buckle up away from the hull where it does not rub the kayak and put straps opposite of each other. Tighten one from the drivers side and one from the passenger side

Is this safe without having no tie in front and rear of the car?

Should you put it upside down if it’s a sit in without a hull cover?

So glad I came across this video!! Extremely helpful for the situation I’m in!! Thank you!

Very helpful thank you. I've had roof racks on cars but kind of felt stuck with my flatbed and I did exactly what you showed in the video and it worked out fine. 1 hour drive. Good stuff. Hudson Valley New York

I did this but just curious what keeps kayak from not moving forward or back when driving on highway? Can it slide out under the straps?

How many straps did you use? 2 or 4?

Wait... Wouldn’t it be more aerodynamic for the kayak to be upside down? Less of a chance of wind catching and (trying) to turn the kayak into a sail? And how much tension is needed? Not much on the back...but strong on the front? -Single Mom (not on food stamps & having a deadbeat ex) just trying to save a buck. NOT trying to kill the (probably) nice people driving behind me, as I take the kids kayaking.

how long do straps have to be?? so i know what length to order

helpful video. Thanks a lot!

Awesome! Been hauling my SOT kayak in my Nissan Frontier bed, and now bought a minivan for road trips. It has roof rails like in this video. I thought I'd like to haul the kayak flat instead of installing crossbars with J racks. I did buy the foam blocks last year, never used them. Thanks to your video I feel confident in safely hauling my lighterweight 10" sit in kayak on long trips!

Two suggestions: 1- move the buckle so it’s not rubbing on the kayak. 2 - leave the twist in the strap so it doesn’t flap in the wind.

Isn't that first buckle digging in to the kayak's hull gouging it?

thanks man. totally appreciate it. funny i have the same truck with the same tie downs in the back as well. cheers!

you said tie down like i thought we would be using rope!!,, :[

I enjoyed the video but was disappointed that he didn’t mention the kayak seat back. In this position facing up and forward, the seat back will catch air and flip up. Better to face backwards. Yes? Also a twisted strap will flap in the air much less.

i always wrap it around the end of the crossbar, on both sides which prevents it from going left to right when turning corners. (My yak happens to have d clips on top of it to warp he strap around which stops it from sliding also. The way you have it strapped there allows it to slide left and right on the smooth round bar too easily.

Thank you! I a very new to all things tow on roof rack and this is extremely helpful!

Um too dark.

Perfect! I always use a strap at the bow and one at the stern to tie down as well. Better safe than sorry. Haven't had an accident yet.

Just used this today as I picked my kayak up :) it worked like a charm thank you for simple instructions

Step one be tall lol

This video ! I watched it last year and got my kayaks up. But this year I couldn't remember how to do it and I didn't remember this video. I found it, though, after messing with my kayaks for 45 minutes. After watching this, they were up in 15 and we were off for a joyous adventure on the lake! Thank y ou!

This guy reminds me of the one white guy in my neighborhood. Super helpful and informative. 🤙🏾

thanks bro

Awesome! I was worried I’d have to buy a new roof rack - this video was great!
