Stand on the left side of the kayak so that the front (bow) is in front of you and the back (stern) is behind you. Bend your knees and get down on the ground. With your right hand, reach out and pull the kayak toward you until it rests on your right knee. Pull the bottom of the kayak up and onto your thigh as you bend your knee. Pull up and over your right shoulder the edge of the cockpit that is farthest from you. Slowly stand up, letting the kayak rest on your right shoulder as you do so. Now you can take it to where you want to go. If you are loading the kayak onto the car from the left side of the car, follow these steps. If you want to load the kayak from the right side, stand to the right of the kayak, pull it with your left hand, and put it on your left shoulder.
