- In this video I am going to show you how to load and unload safely my 4.5 metres kayak (14.7 feet) on a standard car roof rack.
It seems simple, but you need the right technique to avoid to hurting yourself.
It took me a while to find mine and I am happy to now share with you the right way, the right posture and all you have to do to load the kayak by yourself without any help!
In this scenario I'm loading a Viking Profish Reload with its 31kg of weight. The Volkswagen Polo is equipped with basic Rhino Roof Racks. The yellow pipes are pool noodles for a cost of $2.
Enjoy this tutorial.

Solid video :D I'd love to get a run down of how you rig your TacklePod and what options you considered when working out your rigging options!
Thanks mate, I really appreciate it! 😁
If that's what you would love I may definitely make it 😉
I'm not a pro, but I can show you what I've learned so far by sea men on kayaks 🤣
a trick: watch series on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.
@Alvin Tyler Yup, have been watching on flixzone for years myself :)
Nice kayaks 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks Sun 😁
Can you travel on the motorway? do you need to take any extra precautions (like driving a lot slower).
Hi Mate! You can but ideally not over 80km/h
@@goodtimestightlines7713 thx for the reply
Bel video, devo dire uno dei più completi per quel che riguardo il carico/scarico del kayak! Nn hai mai avuto problemi che ti scivolasse in avanti o indietro senza il fissaggio con una corda soprattuto dalla prua verso il gancio della macchina sul davanti?
Chiedo visto che a breve dovrei 🤞🏼🤞🏼entrare in possesso del mio primo kayak usato ed è come il tuo . Grz
Eccomi di nuovo.. se usi cinghie (tie downs) appropriate non hai assolutamente bisogno di legare il kayak avanti e indietro. Discorso diverso se supera e 5 metri..
This look very relaxing! Will this work for Hyundai getz 3 door car? I would like to install rack and put gazebo big stuff on it. Don’t know where can I find how much weight can Hyundai getz roof take. Please share with me if you know anything! thanks!
Hi Yen! Just buy Heavy Duty Roof rack for your car.. .. get the good brands: Rhino Racks, Prorack , Whispbar etc etc .. they will hold something like 150kg total!!
How long is your kayak. I have a small car similar to your car a Nissan micra st-l 2014. the only thing that stop me from buying a kayak is the transportation I don't have sa bigcar. I planning to buy 12ft kayak
It is 4.5 mtrs or 15ft long..
With your car you won't have any problem if of course you get the right roof racks for your Micra (no soft pads)
I bought these foam strap roof racks that go across are these okay to use?
Yep, they do the job! In the video I show the cheapest way, then of course you can get the foam strap. The cons of yours is the risk of bending the roof, especially if you have a compact car or if your kayak is long and "heavy"
Hi bud, what length is your car vs the length of your kayak? Thanks.
Sorry mate, I completely forgot to reply!! My old car was only 4m but I was still able to carry my 4.5m kayak around
How many Ft is the kayak?
It is a 14.9ft, in other words 4.5metres 😁
Thanks for the video I think for me it would be easy to come up from the back being a woman I could len it up and pick up with messing the car up.
Excellent video I have a 3 door polo with a roof rack with a galaxy sturgeon Fx 13.5ft any tips buddy on strapping her down correctly
Thanks Andy
