One Person Kayak Loader
Welcome to the story of the EZ-Recreational Rack. I come from a large family that owned and operated a marina and fishing charter business on Catawba Island in Ohio. Growing up working in that business, allowed me to do what I love –Kayak fishing! Of course, working didn’t allow me the time as much as I would have liked, but I was around water every day. Eventually, my life took me to Indiana where I quickly found that in order for me to continue to do what I love I had to learn how to load my kayak by myself. Loading fishing Kayak and unloading kayaks is a two person job, I looked into a kayak loading bar but scratched that. I needed to find a way to make a easy kayak loader. I searched over the internet for some type of Kayak loading system that would make it possible for me to easily load my kayak by myself safely and securely on the top of my SUV without beating up my kayak or my car. I quickly found that I was going to have to make one. My vision was a loading roof rack systems for kayaks that was loaded from the rear of the vehicle and that didn’t require lifting the total weight of a fishing kayak. It had to hold a large kayak without needing me to climb up to the roof of the vehicle and that could be removable to get in a standard sized garage. After some tweaking, I’m really pleased with the final product and weighing less than 40lbs, taking it down and storing it is just as easy. With the right attachments, you can load your paddle boards, surf boards,cargo carrier or cargo boxes. Now, you too can load your kayak by yourself and do what you love from anywhere!
