Loading/Unloading with a bad back?

[carbonbass]

Hi Guys,

Been quite a while since i've owned a yak, also I moved to Texas this last fall and have been focusing on freshwater black bass fishing. I have a herniated disc in my back which is in sort of a remission state after physical therapy and a steroid shot treatment. I recently purchased an inflatable SUP and have enjoyed a couple fishing outings on it but it's not the most comfortable to sit on unless your legs are straddling it in the water and the wind runs a number on your mobility. Thinking about getting a pedal drive kayak but concerned with unloading/loading with my back. I've seen these suction cup load assists that stick onto your back windshield and allow you to slide the yak onto the car easier, other than this does anyone have tips/tricks that they use to load the yak without strain on your lower back? I have a WRX and it has the mounting spots for a rack, I can get a OEM one for fairly cheap. Thanks!
