Hi guys, folks have mentioned using straight pads with folding kayaks, and
I keep wondering, what happens when you strap it down? Seems like it would
then ride on the keel tube plus one chine tube, instead of straight with
the keel tube down. Then I'd worry that some kind of distortion might
occur in a long trip. Not a problem? e
