TRANSPORTATION

ROOF RACKS

A common question we receive is what kind of roof rack is needed to transport a kayak.

We recommend a hard roof rack or a trailer for transporting your NextGen Duo 13 fishing kayak.

SOFT ROOF RACKS

While soft roof racks are a great temporary solution that is easy to install,

we recommend having hard roof racks as a permanent solution.

HOW TO LOAD A KAYAK BY YOURSELF

Step 1

Line the kayak up alongside the car as below and remove any loose items or

items that could get loose when driving.

Step 2

Spread your moving blanket over the roof of the car tucking it under the roof

bars to avoid it moving or if the blanket is large enough to close the corners in

the car doors or windows. Make sure the blanket is over each roof rack.

Step 3

Lift the bow and rest it on the edge of the car but high enough that it does not

slip easily off. We have demonstrated this on the grass with a kayak that does

not have a rudder. If your kayak has a rudder that could get damaged then

consider loading in reverse with the stern first.

Step 4

Keeping your hands on the kayak to avoid it slipping, walk to the stern of the

kayak, bend your knees, lift the stern and push forward, sliding the kayak

further onto the roof until you have about half the kayak on the roof.

Step 5

Carefully lift the kayak at each end to remove the blanket then secure your

kayak with tie-downs.

Here is a YouTube video demonstration
