Always store your kayak indoors or under cover to protect from harsh weather,
direct sunlight and other elements.
Storing your boat upside down on crossbars or hanging from wide strapping
around the cock pit area are the best ways to keep the kayak stored.
You could also store your kayak on its stern standing against a wall. Make sure
to strap your kayak to prevent it from tipping over.
