Kayak roller loader for sale. $40 or OBO. also doubles as a small kayak cart.

Brand is ROLLERLOADER.

No longer needed as I have a hullavator.

Worked great to assist solo loading and unloading of a heavy kayak.  Can go on hood or trunk.  Worked best when suction cups cleaned with a cloth prior to use.

See YouTube video to see how it worked or I can send photos of item.

I’m located in North Vancouver

We just got back from Baja on Sunday from a kayak tour or I would have replied sooner to your enquiry. Myself, wife and adult daughter went on a 6 day trip with seakayakadventures.com out of Loreto. We toured the Islands in Loreto Bay National Park. The company we chose was excellent, the best organized I have experienced in our various sea kayak trips. Because it was the last trip of the season there were just the 3 of us and 2 guides! But if full I understand their guide ratio is still 3:1 or 4:1. The guides were local, very experienced and great cooks. The best food we have experienced on a sea kayak guided tour. Because we were less than 4 guests, we weren’t supported by a panga and carried the gear but that was no problem for us. They still got resupplied halfway through the trip. I was a bit concerned going in that the company seemed like a bit corporate and tourist slick but I couldn’t have been more wrong. Very local in their outlook, seems like they have great quality control in terms of the guides, equipment, communication ion, etc. We are looking at a future trip with the company in the future. Oh yea, the area was an absolute knock out, quality and diversity of the snorkeling alone was worth the trip.

The club has reserved the group site at Montague Harbour for the Weather course May 10-12. There are 4 extra spots for members who’d like to come camp and paddle on their own. It is $10 per person for the two nights. You’d be welcome to join in on the course potluck Saturday pm.

It’s a chance to camp last minute, socialize, and paddle or explore as you desire. There is no designated leader. Ferry reservations recommended.
