People have been asking me how I keep the kayaks up like that.. I pull up to the boat ramp and guys are always looking and asking questions. Well here it is.... Pretty simple how to load 2 kayaks using the roof rack. I use the Swiss Cargo 3 in 1 Kayak Rack. This is a step by step tutorial on how to load the kayaks. You can use it on a car or SUV as long as you have the cross bars.. Thanks for watching!!!

As I've seen others say I watch this every spring to refresh my memory too. Thanks❤

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 RU-vid instructional videos. Thanks

@MiamiFishN Год назад

Thanks!!! Thats why I made the video because there wasn’t any in depth info at the time!

@JDPeezy559 3 года назад

Great job on your video display. You're the only one that demonstrated on how to tie down the kayaks properly. Tight lines!

@MiamiFishN 3 года назад

Thanks!! Glad to help out

@pauljordan3601 7 лет назад

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

@kevinkelleherpsu 3 года назад

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.

@tjcarpenter87 5 лет назад

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

@dontdlay 4 года назад

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.

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?

thanx man, i guess its the same concept when you have 4 separate j cradles for two kayaks?

@MiamiFishN 3 года назад

Im not sure but if its similar and as long as you strap it down good

@robertwren2289 2 года назад

Both kayaks for incorrectly loaded. They're actually backwards if you look at the manufacturers instructions where you sit faces each other when loading doubles

I need to design/mod a bracket to hold two kayaks sandwiching a 21 cubic feet cargo carrier on a R53 mini cooper whenever I take my dad out fishing. LOL. (#1|-[cargo]-|#2)

@christopherpham5050 3 года назад

Great video! What is the recommended max speed you can go with the kayaks mounted?

@MiamiFishN 3 года назад

Not sure the recommended speed.. I would drive the speed limit

@adamcampbell4009 3 года назад

It should say on the kayak j racks that you buy, and it might mention it on the crossbars. Mine say 60mph

@davidhill7495 2 года назад

Nice job!

@comgeturs 7 лет назад

You don't need to tie down the stern and bow to the front and rear of the vehicle?

@08banca 7 лет назад

We only tied ours down as shown and had no problems for the more than 500 mile trip.

@seffhar 6 лет назад

Depends on how fast you are going, and how strong your roof rack is, if you have the ability to i would always atleast tie the front down to minimize lift

@visualkeirockstar 6 лет назад

I do it if im going on the freeway. Its just extra safety.

@mwrench2008 2 года назад

Soooooo, no bow and stern tie-downs?

@andriyshapovalov8886 2 года назад

For pussies, I guess 😂

@MiamiFishN Год назад

Yes you can for sure for extra support and tie downs .. for longer trips, but not needed with my experience with this rack.

@andriyshapovalov8886 2 года назад

No it's other way around : if it's NOT twisted, then it vibrate.

@MiamiFishN Год назад

I’ve always not twisted it and it good..

@conniemurphy8442 3 года назад

Sooo I have same jracks on my car, and I have a kayak and paddleboard instead of 2 kayaks? That works? How

@danielgilgenast6452 5 лет назад

Florida man to the rescue

@kevinjohnston6249 3 года назад

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.

@MiamiFishN 3 года назад

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.

@phoenixxrise 3 года назад

Wait do you use front and back tow lines tho?

@AndreyBacher 8 лет назад

Thanks for the explanation, got the racks on and my kayaks on within minutes.

@denisedynes7202 2 года назад
