The Carry Yak Aims to Make Carrying Kayaks Easier

The Carry Yak

Single handily, the worst part of kayaking is actually carrying the thing. To help make it easier, Brian Evans developed a clip-on device that allows you to balance the kayak on your shoulders.

“We based the Carry Yak design on the simple truth that balance can be found in heavy objects to lighten any weight,” Evans said. “Distributing the kayak weight makes it easier to carry.”

Developed and manufactured in Nova Scotia, the kayak carrier is made of stainless steel, plastic with foam shoulder pads, can now be ordered online at www.carryyak.com for $147. It isn’t currently in stores yet but they hope to get that sorted out in the very near future.

Thanks Rob for the tip.
