Five guides covering the things that actually go wrong when you move a kayak over land. No filler, no listicles, and no pretending we tested equipment we have not touched.
The full decision process: rigged weight first, then hull shape, then terrain, then storage. Why "universal fit" tells you nothing, and the specification claims worth distrusting.
Read the guideStrap slip is the second most common cart complaint and it is almost always fixable. Correct buckle threading, why you run the strap through the carry handles, and what to replace a factory strap with.
Read the guideScupper holes are moulded drains, not designed load points. What manufacturers actually say about cart damage, the warning signs before a hull cracks, and when to refuse a scupper cart outright.
Read the guideThe surface that defeats most carts. Why width beats diameter, what tyre pressure actually does, and the techniques that work when the cart is still not enough.
Read the guideSalt and sand destroy carts faster than use does. Materials that survive, the rinse routine that matters, and why greasing an exposed axle on a sandy coast makes things worse.
Read the guideWhere the tools sit alongside these
The guides explain the reasoning. The tools apply it to your specific boat: the cart finder, the Real Carry Weight calculator, the wheel selector and the positioning diagrams.
Every factual claim is sourced, every judgement is labelled as one, and where we do not know something we say so rather than filling the gap. We have not conducted hands-on testing of these carts and never imply that we have.
