I'm looking at the manual it says loop through scupper and drive well, hull up on rails - what about vertically with the stern resting on ground and leaned up slightly against a wall?

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had thoughts on this? It looks like the Lynx is as much a SUP as it is a kayak, and storing vertically seems convenient, especially with the anti-scuff pads on the back.

Can we get an answer on this? Stored vertically would be a godsend for my situation.

Just took delivery of my Lynx. Reading the manual, it seems most of the conventional storage methods are not good. How is everyone storing their’s?

Here are a few methods, I would appreciate your comments.

Upside down on cross slats

Upside down on parallel slats

Flat (right side up) with parallel slats

Upside down or right side up on a flat board

Thanks

I have mine upside down across two sawhorses. So far, so good. I'm looking at building a PVC storage cart for it and my wife's two kayaks.

I'm also storing my 2 Lynxes upsidedown on sawhorses. I picked up 2 Rigid Sawhorses, Model# 230710, that are made of aluminum and plastic, adjustable feet, and use dimensional lumber wooden top rail. I replaced the top rail with wider 48" pressure treated lumber, and made a removable support grid to sit on top for easy dissasembly. Question: Will adding the H Bar, and or H Rail negate the ability to stack the kayaks for storage, and or transport? (I think the H Bar can be removed, but it's stub mount might prevent stacking, and is not meant to be removed)

Please keep us posted on what you come up with. Just picked up my lynx today and had the very same idea. There doesn't seem to be much to go on given my brief research.

I bought a large roto Cosco table ~$60 -they have both 6 and 8 feet versions at Walmart and Amazon. I then put a foam sheet on top for extra cushion (I have some ocd and HATE scratches, rust and corrosion) . I then bought 4inch poly wheels used for commercial kitchen appliances (Amazon $44) and used PVC pipe to adapt the larger wheels to the smaller diameter table legs. This stays in the garage but I still use a cheap cover to avoid dust. Works well and I can just roll it over to the back of my truck when I want to go out.
