When buying a Hobie Pro Angler or any other kayak, you will need to think about storage and transportation. There are many ways to load and transport your kayak. You will need to read up and think about the best method for you!
Here's why I prefer to load my Hobie Pro Angler on my roof rack:
1. I fish backcountry lakes where the roads tend to be harsh on trailers.
2. I like to camp in my truck and don't want to have my Kayak taking up valuable space.
3. Most people told me it couldn't be done!
If you have any questions about this video, don't hesitate to get in touch with me! Cradle dimensions are coming soon!

Im going to try this using a cradle on my hardshell rooftop tent! I was think about ways to secure it and this makes the most sense for my application. Thank you!

Hi! Belated 'Greetings from Texas!'! I found this to be very informative! I have a Takoma with a ladder rack that works great for me & my Outback. BUT I have been thinking about getting a Toyota 4-Runner & this video might be just the ticket to rig & load up my Outback on it! Some great ideas and food for thought! Thank You! & Have a good day, eh!😃

Great job. Currently looking at roof racks or rales to take a HOBIE PA14 on my jeep wrangler. This looks very manageable for me to make .

Awesome vid! Could you have made the pvc cradle come down further so you wouldn’t need the mat?

@magwheelfish 3 жыл бұрын

I suppose it could be done! I had my cradle before getting my Yakima bars, so it could be improved. But in all honesty, this is really easy to load. Thanks for your comment! Cheers

Loved your cradle solution to what we are told: “you can’t really car-top that Hobie!” Lol. Can you tell us the dimensions/ parts for the cradle?

Hello Brett, I hope I’m not too late. I will send you exact dimensions soon.

Flip your boat upside down and fit your pvc to your boat. You will know precisely the dimensions you need. Cheers!

If your cradle had wheels or rollers on top of it so bottom of boat rolls onto it

I would like to build the PVC tube thing- do you have rough dimensions or could you point me to the right place?

@miguelsigouin3033 Жыл бұрын

Hey Mark, I suggest flipping your kayak upside down and laying your PVC pipe on the bottom. You will have the perfect fit. Rough estimate is 2 x 8'.

@dankernion9049 Жыл бұрын

What is the width pipe to pipe of the PVC and how long did you make it? It is a great idea. Thank you for sharing.
