: With 8 kayaks in the garage ... I need to move some of the fleet

: Ken Blanton

I store mine outside and use a "club" for a car steering wheel spanning the cockpit front to back and then a chain going around it and to a fence. My thought is that the only way to get the boat is to cut the chain, the club, or the cockpit of the boat which most theifs couldn't repair.
