Roof Rack and Kayak cart/wheel recommendation? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I routinely go over 70 while carrying my heavy hobie outfitter (real weight around 90 lbs.) between Carlsbad and LJ or SD bay. Haven't lost it yet and not worried about losing it.

Really concerned? Use a bow line.

The rack isn't cheap but I like it because I have a super heavy kayak and a minivan and this thing is a breeze to load and unload and eliminates any direct kayak to car contact.

Stopped in at REI...read all the do's and don'ts on this system...My X Factor should not be an issues for the racks avilable for the VAN... on the other hand...my new ride (wifes old one) G6 GTP will not work fast or slow~ so...looks like the van gets the rack

I miss my truck

I'm sorry for you choking on my 2 cents, go talk to your friendly sales-person. They will treat you like a friend. Who knows, you'll probably buy something and never know the difference anyway. Own it Solo.

Any comments on the Malone Seawing and the Stinger loading assist?
