In this article i m going to give you a few ideas on how to transport a kayak without a roof rack including my number one recommended soft roof rack system as well as how to use pool noodles in a pinch.
Diy kayak roof rack pool noodle.
With three noodles you obviously want to put one toward the front one in the middle and one toward the back of your car.
However if you have multiple kayaks i really wouldn t recommend the foam car top carrier or diy pool noodle rack.
Some people have used the handiracks to carry multiple kayaks but with a max capacity of 180 lbs you want to be careful of how much weight you are putting on the racks.
Another option would to use pool noodles and a couple of tie straps.
Make sure the kayak is balanced well so it doesn t start sliding off of the car roof before you have a chance to strap it down.
If they slide around it s pretty easy to lift one end of the kayak and reposition the noodles where you want them.
