Have you ever tried to ride a bicycle at the beach??? >>> Hi Bob, when I read your first post, my thought was the same as Gabriel's - bicycle wheels! Sure, they'd sink into the sand a little deeper, but the much larger radius should make rolling easier. Also, the narrow bicycle wheels might provide less rolling resistance as the tires would part the sand, rather than plough it. The kayak would have to rest on a higher cradle if a thru-axle were used (tippy, unless a wide stance were used), or one would have to get creative in building a low-slung cradle with elevated double axles (more complicated to build).
