Thank you so much! I am a single Mom and my son and I just bought two Pelican Trailblazer 100 kayaks. I decided to buy this Kayak rack because of your demonstration. You made it really easy. Thanks!
Thank you for this video! My husband and I watched it a couple years ago, when we first got our kayaks and again today! We hadn't been kayaking for over a year and forgot how to strap them on the SUV!!!
Wish my wife and I saw this video before we picked up our kayaks at sams club this morning... we had no clue what we were doing! We do now, thanks to you
Great video I both a very similar rack nice to see both kayaks loaded and tied down no short cut straight to the point without much talking into thanks
FINALLLLLY - A ‘true’ step-by-step detailed instruction WITH “key points to be aware of” (align straps so when you toss over they don’t whack the vehicle windows or metal). You even show how to tie to avoid wind noise and vibrations. Excellent job!
Great video! Easy to understand, and was exactly what we needed for first-time kayakers with two kayaks and the exact same setup as you had there. Everything worked perfectly to/from the lake.
In a sea (pun intended) of bullshit videos showing kayak loading, your video is the most thorough and helpful. THank you for taking the time to show how to load the kayak on a SUV and on a J rack and not one but two kayaks. This should be in the hall of fame of TH-cam instructional videos. Thanks
Took 2 kayaks from Ohio to Northern Georgian Bay - about 550 miles. Followed these instructions on how to mount and tie down the kayaks and had no problems and one was a large fishing kayak. We didn't do any extra tie downs and I often forgot they where there because they were so quiet. We even crossed several bridges with high wind warnings without a hitch! Thanks for the great instructions!!!!!! And just an FYI we were in a minivan not SUV.
and FYI, stern and bow ties are required by most states, and in the event of an accident your insurance most times will not cover the accident if you did not have stern and bow tie downs, if done right it take 60 secs to be covered
Perfect video for what I needed. Instructions were fuzzy black and white pictures. Had no idea where the straps were going. Thank you. Have a 14 hour drive. I'll keep you posted if I had to make any adjustments.
Very informative. Great instructional video. Made it so easy for us to tie down the kayak.. and this time there wasn't that horrible wind noise.. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the vid. It helped me and my wife save time and do it right today on our first use. Our yaks floated Center Hill Lake in todayTN with your help.
just got mine today, this is a great video for teaching me the rack and the tie down technique. only thing i have to add is bow/stern straps or insurance won't cover in event of accident. thanks for such a thorough step by step.
Thanks for the fantastic demo and explanation of why you do it your way. Saves so much time. This is the best video for this application that I have found.
Thanks for the pro tips, about to hit the road with our two kayaks on the roof. Very informative and easy to follow instructions and video, much appreciated brother!
Bro the hair is fresh. I came here to learn how to mount kayaks and I learned it's totally worth my hair looking ridiculous right now to bun it after six-months-to-a-year.
So incredibly helpful! My son and I had a new rack and went out yesterday and after 20 minutes on the river, we got word that there were 60 mph winds and hail approaching....thanks to you we got 2 kayaks on the roof and avoided disaster. How do I load one kayak on my own?
Sweet! I just bought an old Envoy and was wondering about those crossbars on the rack. Looks like Ive got no worries! I appreciate your video man thanks
Best video to date. I just purchased the same type single bar double cradles,but my rails require brackets that catch the door jams. My problem was the straps. Now on a Camry instead of a taller SUV, this was exactly what I need. Nice job dude!
Thanks for the great video. I have the same rack, but have had trouble keeping my 12 ft fishing kayak from shifting while transporting. I snugged the straps tight each time.

I watch this video every spring because I always forget how to strap them in correctly. Thanks for posting!
Same here I was scrolling through thinkin it was gone but here we are! 😂
Great video - thanks. I'd just recommend tying off to front and back bumper or frame for safety on the highway.
Great video! I just bought 2 kayaks and this same holder, this technique works great and it made me look like I knew what I was doing! Thank you
Wow thank you! That is exactly what I was looking for. You're a natural teacher.
Just bought 2 kayaks and couldn't have used them without your video. Thanks!

My kayak fell on my face, and then I watched this video and now I’m a pro thanks man

Thank you so much. I got this today and the directions sucked so bad. Thanks a ton for taking the time to post this.
No problem.... Any questions just ask... Been using it and other ways for a while
Thanks man, I'm a total kayak newb, just bought mine TODAY and you just helped me. figure out how to get these on and off easily.
Thanks! You are awesome - great teacher! Saved our marriage.
Great video! I have a Chevy SUV just like this one so it was reassuring you could use the factory crossbars to attach your kayak rack.
Thanks for the fantastic demo and explanation of why you do it your way. Saves so much time. This is the best video for this application that I have found.
Thanks so much for this video!!!! We bought our first kayaks today and thanks to your video got then home safe and sound!!!
Thanks for the pro tips, about to hit the road with our two kayaks on the roof. Very informative and easy to follow instructions and video, much appreciated brother!
Thanks for watching! Happy yakking!!
Thanks man! Have the same setup. First time putting kayaks up. Worked like a charm!
Good to hear!!! Tight lines!
Great video! Thanks, dude! I was getting lost with the straps and this made life so much easier. Much appreciated.
Glad to help out!
Great tip with the straps! Saves a lot of aggravation.

Lmao😂😂😂

Use this method every time for the last 3 years. Great video.
Thanks!
Sweet! I just bought an old Envoy and was wondering about those crossbars on the rack. Looks like Ive got no worries! I appreciate your video man thanks
Yea been using them for years now and still holding up!
Really instructive and helpful. I thought by having a few twists in your strap you reduced vibration? Thanks for vid really made me feel more secure.
Thank you! And just like alit of comments say, you can put straps to the front and back for more safety, I never have and it’s been good for years.
Thank you!
I just bought 1 and yours was the first video that I watched.
Great job!
Thanks, this really helped me with loading two kayaks on the same type of rack.
Very helpful, that was the number 1 thing that had me worried when I bought our kayaks, getting them to the water. Thanks for the help.
Saved the day, helped out in a pinch. Appreciate it
Thank you very much for taking the time to demonstrate this. It was vey helpful.
Thanks for taking the time to complete this tutorial, really useful for beginners like myself.
Fantastic! Best 10 minute learning curve. Thanks
Good video, really helped me figure out how to do this especially how to do the straps around the middle
Best video to date. I just purchased the same type single bar double cradles,but my rails require brackets that catch the door jams.
My problem was the straps. Now on a Camry instead of a taller SUV, this was exactly what I need.
Nice job dude!
thank you my guy ! I can finally not have a mental break down trying to keep them on
Excellent video, very informative and helpful for me. Thank you for taking the time to do it.

Best video!! Thanks so much!! Much easier than my first go around!!
Thanks, bud. You made it look real easy... here's to hoping it works like this when I get my crossbars installed. Hah! Happy 'yaking!
Thanks! Giving it a first try tomorrow.

Thanks for the great video. I have the same rack, but have had trouble keeping my 12 ft fishing kayak from shifting while transporting. I snugged the straps tight each time.
You are a very good teacher. Thank you! :)

Thanks for the instructions made simple
You have no clue the trouble you saved me by watching this video before we bought our rack and kayaks!
Thank you, i found your video very helpful. How long are each of your 4x straps that tie down the kayak?
How about some tiedowns front and back? Enjoyed the video.
Wait do you use front and back tow lines tho?
Thanks for this video. Helped a lot!
Great job on the video. Very helpful!!!
Very helpful video without a bunch of senseless commentary.
Good info. A little twist in the strap will prevent vibration not cause it.
Right as rain!
You’re an angel. Thanks for this video tutorial
