The most serious risk is that the kayak or canoe may come loose entirely, and be damaged or destroyed. Even if this doesn&#8217;t happen, a loose or wobbly kayak can scratch your roof, causing significant damage to your roof. The same if true of wooden planks, or other improvised roof bars. And, when you do fit your roof bars &#8211; make sure that you are aware of your overall height, going under low bridges can prove perilous if you don&#8217;t have an accurate idea of just how tall your car has become!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"hh2\">Transporting a sole kayak<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d88af436618eb577b5e2-f01cec007b719b5f79502bffd63464ad.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com\/sayuig\/newig\/coastwatersports\/C\/image-4.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d88af436618eb577b5e2-f01cec007b719b5f79502bffd63464ad.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com\/sayuig\/newig\/coastwatersports\/C\/image-4-p-500.png 500w, https:\/\/d88af436618eb577b5e2-f01cec007b719b5f79502bffd63464ad.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com\/sayuig\/newig\/coastwatersports\/C\/image-4.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" alt=\"\" class=\"image-14\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"main-text para\">A single kayak is easy to transport using a standard roof rack. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coastwatersports.co.uk\/sit-on-top-kayaks-c-299_302_494.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link-18\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sit on top kayaks<\/a> are generally easier to transport upside down, to protect the shape of the hull.
