I just got my first kayak( Tarpon 140) two weeks ago and stored it on the ground in the garage.
It will deform the hull if it stored that way?
-
manufacturer recommends storing on its side or upside down. if it deforms the hull it will likely be temporary anyways.

That is a good kayak. Actually really great paddling kayak. Just store on its side and it will be fine. Mine like that sat on a rack all the time and was never affected.

On it's side is one of the ways to store kayaks that nearly all manufacturer's recommend. It wouldn't hurt to buy a section of pipe insulation (cheapest), or a 36" foam yoga roller (best), cut it, and rest the kayak on a couple of sections. Works best if they are spaced about 1/3 the length of the hull apart.
