In Response To: Tools: Kayak hauling options for trucks (Todd O)

Todd

I've used pool noodles and ratchet straps on my truck with a cap, my van, and now on a wagon with a stock roofrack. Got 1000's of miles in big wind and bad weather, never had an issue with kayaks moving. Ratchet straps across the kayaks to do the bulk of the securing job, then I use a rope from the front of the kayak to the front of the car or truck, holds the front down a bit maybe but more for an indicator of anything that might be going awry up top where you can't see it.

Good luck!

Ken
