I have not had any problems with Canadian Customs folks with a car topped kayak. Nor, have I had one with it bagged in the back. The US folks can get a bit inquisitive but due to the amount of kayak related border traffic here on the west coast we're not a novelty. I have never brought a receipt for it, though I did think about it. Why not take a copy and throw it in your glove box? I have not taken a kayak across since 911 but wouldn't hesitate. I did take one to Florida and Mexico, on flights, and had no problems. I have heard otherwise from PW'ers about paddles as carry on, but when I tried it I was forced to check them. Very interesting since the guy next to me was carrying a Fender Stratocaster!
