Deck Pad Kits by Hobie

even cleaning my brand new never been anywhere delivered the same day as these Hobies I had adhesion issues on some. this is mainly due to the box/shipping. some come out of the box NOT flat. eg they sink to a section in the box then they bend then they REMEMBER that bend. after some time of actually putting crap on top of some of them where they kept popping up and actually putting one section in the sun to warm and then weighting them, they have stuck. once they are attached firmly... yeah worth all that crap i went through to make it happen... fish cooler bag doesn't slip around when lashed on front storage panel with this decking on top. , if i get an odd urge to fly fish salt and i'm standing i feel grip in my feet, and it seems to deaden sound a bit. that said, i'm using yakima easy rider and everything that makes that top Hobie heavier is getting a closer look... once you the usual battery/light/fishfinder/deck armor/ etc. setup that upper hobie on trailer top is yeah pretty heavy... and off center... but once in the water... um ya worth it... so my wife can't do the trailer side. entirely subjective but just sayin i have to lift the high last let go from the yakima kayak mounts to the ground, and it's heavy even being ex-infantry still trying t stay in shape at 53. maybe the review says hell yes on deck pads with some effort, and caution on easyrider because stacking heavy kayaks rather than side by side is something i should have though of.
