Really new to kayaking. I have a storage question. The best bet for me would be to suspend the kayak in the garage above the cars. I've read that it could damage a plastic yak. Any advice on garage storage?
Thanks

I have a pulley system to pull my yak up to the garage ceiling. To spread the load, I use 2 inch nylon straps with a 6x12 inch piece of rubber mat about 3/4 inch thick. It is the kind of mat that you exercise on, made of dense closed cell foam.
I just stick the mat between the straps and the yak and hoist away.
Hope this helps,John

I use a rope/pulley system that I copied from here: http://www.kayakfishingstuff.com/com...ad.php?t=78695
My kayak sits bottom down so I just used rope. The pics in the link show the kayak stored top down using pvc pipe support. It works great.

I hang my Outback under my deck and my NuCanoe sits on a small rack in the yard. I had a 2008 Outback hanging like that for 3 years and never had a problem.Jim
