Loading and securing your surf ski or kayak to your car or SUV can be annoying. It can be made worse by wind and how tall your vehicle is. This 1st video shows how to load your boat onto your vehicle in 3 different ways to help you in different situations.

1. Parallel load - easy if you're tall and have the space or with two people

2. Bow then stern on - good on a windy day

3. Slide on from the rear - great for paddlers loading onto tall vehicles such as SUV's / 4WD's or when you don't have space next to the car
