Trust me my Lexus factory rack is way better than that Yakima rack crap

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

does it mark up your paint where the rack contacts the car?

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 do believe in a good set of racks!

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%.

+Evan Dickson Your kayak dents from the pressure of the roof rack.

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

Hey great video with some good information on transporting your kayak, great channel too and have just subbed, keep up the good work here... Carl

Correct

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.
