Foam Block Transport for a Rec Kayak

JPTolson · 08-01-2019, 10:56 AM

Has anyone had experience transporting their kayak upside down on a car top using foam blocks attached to the cockpit combing that sit on the roof of the vehicle? There would be a four-point tie down, two ropes or webbing around the kayak going through the passenger compartment and both ends secured to the front and rear of the vehicle. How does this arrangement perform over long distances at highway speeds? I need to send a kayak back to New Jersey with my nephew. Thanks for any insights.
