easy rider roof mount 'system' - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I wont take any liability if this fails on you, but its worked for me for awhile with a 16' tandem kayak. Ive got racks now.

take a fun noodle, cut two or three pieces off it long enough to fit the base of the kayak. For my hatchback, all I did was put a towel on top of the hatch to protect scratching, put the front end of the yak on that towel, then lift the rear and push forward till I was over the fun noodles. Now, take your two straps and run it through the doors and strap it down, close doors over it. Then, take a ratcheting rope to the front, and strap it under the front of your car. The rear is optional some say, but if your kayak is worth anything to ya, 10 bucks isnt much for a rear one too.

Youll run into problems with kayaks like I have now, the adventure, who have hulls that are narrow. May work with the kayak laying on its side though.
