At the end of a trip, hands are cold, boats are slippery and the terrain is whatever. These slings are ideal for short portages of kayaks, canoes or any small craft. For a group of sea kayakers, touring kayakers or canoeists on an expedition there is always the problem of getting the fully loaded boats out of reach of the water and back to the waters edge. If the beach or terrain is rough or slippery (and it's usually both) it can involve a lot of hard work and the ever present danger of damage to boats or paddlers if someone slipped or lost their grip. Canoeists wanting to portage round obstacles, obstructions or other nasty places, face the same problems.
The KCS Kayak and Canoe Straps are designed to allow four paddlers to share the weight of a boat and make short easy work of moving a whole fleet of loaded boats.The slings are made from 100mm wide woven Polypropylene with a breaking strength well above any conceivable boat weight. The handles are soft, cushioned and very comfortable and are designed to be long enough to put a hand through and re-grip giving a wrist and hand hold (dog leash hold), spreading the load and giving a very secure grip. Ideal for short portages of kayaks, canoes or any small craft. The slings and handles are non-rigid and can be rolled up and packed into a very small space.
