Looking for a more secure rope attachments: 3 front to bumper, 3 each side to drip rails, 2 rear to van bumper: hydraulic hose surfaced.
The hose type has metal sheathing eliminating casual jacknife thievery attempts.
Comments from experience or engineering concerns eg hose weight on kayak ends ?
Kayak attached here is a Kevlar Solstice on foam pads.
