My pro racks were $250 i think but the pieces to side stand the yaks on the racks almost required a second mortgage to get $150 a pair and i needed two pair ,didnt tell mum about that lot (they dont look that expensive so i think i may get away with it)]]> Wed, 01 Oct 2003 16:59:31 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2310&PID=23277&title=how-do-you-transport-your-kayaks#23277 <![CDATA[How do you transport your kayaks ? : Thule Kayak Rack $380! ]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2310&PID=23203&title=how-do-you-transport-your-kayaks#23203 Author: HELLFISH

Hi Big Fish Hunter,

What is a wank wank Strap??

Hellfish,

I have used Thule roof racks for surfboards, they are excellent, pricey though. They probably will have attachments for kayaks.

Have thought about getting a kayak, and have found your comparisons excellent.

Got to agree with all to try before you buy to make sure it is comfortable for you personally. I remembering reading about a chap who had a good setup in the NZ Fishing News. Was 3 or 4 months ago.

Cheers Woody

Cheers Woody.

I carry two 4.1 metre sit ons ,on the roof of my honda integra.I use pro racks and i stand both kayaks on their sides to fit two on,i use two holders for each kayak so they sit on their sides on the roof rack then i drop two wank wank straps over them and tie both ends down on front and rear ,never had a problem,have been on several long(6-7 hour) drives with them  140km plus no sweat.P.S if you see me dont follow too close aye .If all my yak mates wanna come on the mish we have a trailer with a rack that will take 4 kayaks,real easy to make trailer racks.]]> Tue, 30 Sep 2003 09:17:36 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2310&PID=23127&title=how-do-you-transport-your-kayaks#23127 <![CDATA[How do you transport your kayaks ? : Thule makes a roof rack that allows...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2310&PID=23124&title=how-do-you-transport-your-kayaks#23124 Author: HELLFISH

Thule makes a roof rack that allows you to tie them facing sideways.

I transport 2 Perception Swing kayaks, next to each other and upside down, on roofracks on a Nissan Terrano.  Searched around a bit to find roofracks wide enough to take both.

i pop the hatch and put mine in the pasenger seat. i make sure it wears a seatbelt and tie the hatch down with a rope that goes through the end carry handle. its secure, but the exhaust fumes hinder my paddling abilities a bit, i tend to just want to sleep when i get there. i have a roof rack to fit onto the wifes car when i get a chance. but i have to make the brackets that hold the kayak in place. i'll use plywood and cut it with a template of the kayaks bottom side profile.

maybe i'll just buy a hiace, much easier!

you could try and put an old matress between them, i find it molds to the shape and makes it easyier to tie together]]> Mon, 29 Sep 2003 20:55:54 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2310&PID=23077&title=how-do-you-transport-your-kayaks#23077
