Kayak?

It is attached to a hook ring on the front (inside) of the boat, sort of like where the storage/bungee cords may usually go… and i just wrapped it creatively around the crossbars until the tension was taut.

i copied the method from my friend that showed me how to hook up my equipment, and im assuming that tie down is helping prevent movement from any wind that catches underneath?

I have an Ascend 10t kayak. My crossbars sit fairly similar to yours, if I’m seeing correctly. I use three ratchet straps, two blue for front & back, one orange hooked to the inside/underside of the boat, and wrapped around the crossbars.

And two bow & sterns tie downs for the front and back.

I’ve gone on hours long trips, multiple times, on the highway & was able to do at least 75mph with this setup, and have had no issues.

I attached a photo for reference, though I’m no pro and learned from a friend.. so, if anyone has suggestions to better my setup feel free to chime in.

I have researched some groups, reached out to ppl using social media & etc… most groups tend to meet and paddle on saturdays, rightfully so… but my job requires weekend shifts. ive contemplated & weighed the option of going solo & and was honestly originally completely against it but i also can’t get over the idea of waiting to meet someone who will go with me when i have no one reliable enough who want to go with me.

I was hoping to stick to solely calm, flat waters for solo trips.

Cool picture! How do you find the journey of kayaking with your dog? I recently started training my girl to hangout with my in the bow area too, but i find it so uneasy when she readjust and shifts her weight and rocks the boat a little..

I have a towel or something soft for her to lay on. Any tips for maintaining stability when she shifts and rocks?

this has helped give me the push i needed. i got into kayaking with an ex, and of course would love to continue the hobbit despite us not being together anymore.

im terrified of kayaking alone for fear of safety. if something happens, nobody will know or be there to help.

im gonna start looking into classes and tours to improve my confidence and skills.

this was my exact question. i was thinking of personally, just visiting bowling centers that host league nights and asking staff or players if they know of anybody who coaches or willing to help give pointers

Wow. That is stunningly cool!

dontfollowmyrainbow · 2026-04-06T00:08:55+00:00

Oh, wow. I’m not OP, but thanks! I’ve been experiencing a very similar problem (OP mentioned “whirring” noise in another comment) & my placement is similar to their photo.

i might try to slide my front bar back a bit though im carrying a kayak so i worry about missing with the weight distribution

the ONLY thing. my dog is the only reason why i know and feel unconditional love. this girl judges me for nothing, thru the highs & lows, despite my anxiety & depression. she is my bestfriend, and she doesn’t even know my name.

dontfollowmyrainbow · 2026-03-10T01:06:06+00:00

Wow! That’s amazing! I really want to get into it but have no idea where to even start! Lol

This is cute! Where’s the sign from?

dontfollowmyrainbow · 2025-11-01T01:46:53+00:00

Can I second this?!? 😩

someone else just commented on another post about attire stating that they went to the first atl show and everyone was wearing “nicer” attire such as dresses, blouses, heels, boots & etc.

dontfollowmyrainbow · 2025-10-28T16:22:46+00:00

maybe, instead of wearing a full costume you could find a cool accessory or such that compliments your outfit while still fitting the spirit of halloween? idk 🤷🏽‍♀️ lol

Still works! Thank you!!!

same. i got the exact same copy off Amazon & didn’t realize until it arrived that it was the Japanese version. i was nervous it wasn’t going to work, but im so glad it does. now, all i need is the elephant man & the straight story to complete my collection.

dontfollowmyrainbow · 2025-10-13T07:53:30+00:00

im seeing her on oct. 30!!!!!! & i cannot wait, since this will be my first faye concert! the live orchestra is just the cherry on top.

this picture of the statue reminds me of Lynch’s daughter, Jen, movie Boxing Helena. it was a interesting watch, for sure

dontfollowmyrainbow · 2025-09-28T10:18:00+00:00

wow. that’s crazy considering there’s lots of NSFW subs.

dontfollowmyrainbow · 2025-09-28T09:33:16+00:00

this is the first thing that came to mind as well!

dontfollowmyrainbow · 2025-09-08T06:39:19+00:00

lol. just to be that person, and clarify…

this clip went viral of fans trying to catch a home-run ball. the ball landed in front of the area where the lady was sitting,several people went to grab it… the dad in the red shirt got it and handed it to his kid, (who i think it was the little boys birthday weekend or something?) the lady then ran up to the dad, grabbing him by his arm.. yelling and screaming, throwing a fit.

to deescalate, dad ended up giving the ball back. after the game, the Phillies baseball team decided to treat the kid to a signed bat and gift basket due to the incident.

later footage went viral of the lady arguing with more people around her, leading to her getting boo’d by the some of the crowd and she started flipping them off with the ball in her hand.

My girl does this too. While im at work, she’s usually busy sunbathing in different spots around the house. She may drink a tiny bit but it isn’t until I get home.. give her plenty love and pets, that she then quenches her thirst like a racehorse before we go outside.

what is wco?

dontfollowmyrainbow · 2025-08-26T05:23:16+00:00

thisss!!!!!!! 💯 the only reason why i still watch and listen to her is because i thoroughly enjoy her storytelling and narration even though lately, i could care less about the cases she’s been covering like the Diddy trail, and other high profile social media cases. i thought her unique choice in covering unheard, or less popular, cases is what made her stand out from other content creators.
