Looking for any your advice, helps, tricks/hints on how best to load a kayak
on a


SUV. I have a pair of saddles in the front and rollers in the back. My biggest

problem is trying to unload the kayak by myself. Once the front end has gone
past


the back rollers, a couple of times the kayak has slipped to the side of the


roof and I had to quickly get a good hold on the kayak to make sure it didn't



slip off the side. One problem i have is I am a smaller person and the top of



the SUV comes almost to the top of my shoulders.
