The Tech Team Kayak, SUP Vertical Storage Rack is ideal for storage in areas with high ceilings and limited floor space or horizontal wall space. Store kayaks and SUPs securely with two web straps. We recommend that a cushion or pad (not included) of some kind be used under the kayak or SUP to protect it from contact with the floor and to better distribute the weight of the kayak. Please be sure that your kayak can be safely stood on end without damaging itself. Also make sure that your kayak is either empty or that all parts and stored items are securely fastened or stowed before standing it up.
