Truck Topping TI with Hobie Cradles

Aloha Gents

I'm not sure where the launch is at, but the background is showing those Kalaheo mountains. The sand bar is showing the Koolaus.

EDIT: Nohuhu - Google earth has the street view at Ka Hanahou Pl! nice one.

BobbyTam - I have a 2001 double Taco. My truck year is able lower the aft crossbar on the truck. I use an additional strap-type wheels on the front tip of the yak (I load stern in front of truck), place one end of the yak on the bar and slide up with the wheels rolling on the ground instead of the dragging the yak. Then I raise the aft crossbar to proper height and flip yak over so it's resting upside down for transport. I load stern side first because my roof rack in front and it is not high enough to clear the kayak crossbars from hitting the truck roof when I flip it over. It may be a risky maneuver to flip the kayak on the racks if you are not careful. I'm two years shy of 50.

Thanks gents, that's the spot. Not somewhere I'd normally launch from, might be fun to sail in there some time just to see it.

Thanks Linkzi for your input. The thought of flipping the yak on the bar is a risky thing. I'm going to give Tiki's method a try. At least you are 2 years shy of 50. I'm coming up 51 and I can feel it...
