Hey all, long time lurker....first time poster. Looking forward to participating in this forum and learning a thing or 2.

Accidentally picked up 3 paddle kayaks (spearfishing) and decided I probably need a pedal kayak after seeing some of ya'll slay it up here deeper than I'd like to dive.

If anyone has some tips or wisdom to drop on how to easily car top a heavy kayak I'm all ears

Cheers

Welcom

After watching this 80-year-old lady loading a Hobie kayak using a Thule Hullavator, I have been using a Hullavator.

Eric and I still use paddle kayaks. Don't knock them I hear they have been in use centuries before a peddle drive ever came about! Lol
