Is this video sponsored? If so, that should probably be noted somewhere.

You tied one strap to the front of the car. Is there another strap tied to the back of the car?

It  must  be  Florida  thing  to transport  kayaks  upside down so that  they don't  fill  up with rain water in transit

I have a Focus so I'd like to know what cross bars they use on that Focus. It must be a Yakima round crossbar model.

I've canoed for 18 years and kayaked for 12, an average of 70 trips annually. I've always used straight bar car top carriers. I also, always secure my canoe and kayaks upside down. This provides better bow and stern security and prevents hog backing aka oil canning the under side / performance side of the boats. Hog backing aka oil canning breaks a boat and reduces resale value from 60% to less than 30%.

In my opinion it would but much more busy to spend that extra $500 on an our kayak than to have to go through all that trouble of first buying a kayak then having a second purchase just to use it

Add a couple of twists into the strap, in any area where the strap is not in contact with the boat. This helps break-up the vortex-shedding that leads to that annoying hum.

I have a big problem with wind noise with my straps. Any advice on how to fix it?
