Yes, in the grooves for added support. To make the two noodle supports, I take a 3/4" x 10' PVC pipe, cut it into two 5ft lengths, and then thread 7ft of pool noodle onto each of the pipes. The pool noodle overhangs by a foot on either end of the pipe. The pipe adds rigidity and makes it easier to align the two lengths of pool noodle under the kayak in the grooves. If the kayak is sitting in the bed of the truck for a week or longer, I will also slip the noodles under the kayak on the truck with a bed extender. My truck is a long bed, and the noodle will start at the bed extender and lead onto the truck under the grooves of the kayak.
