Despite so many positive reviews online, Guy ran into the following problems trying to get his Hobie Compass to the water and back, through sand.

Guy: I read so many good reviews about the C-Tug kayak cart with beach wheels and really wanted to like it. Unfortunately it hasn’t performed as expected. The cart’s flat pads don’t cradle rounded hulls well. The cart’s straps slip off the kayak if the wheels hit any obstacle and the cart has to be repositioned. I had to add a cradle made out of a plastic bucket, to hold the C-Tug in place.

I attached and detached the wheels under water and sand got into the plastic parts. Sand remained on the inside of the wheels despite traveling over a hard surface.

It was difficult to clean off without water. Sand gets stuck in the tire tread and probably cuts into it.

Sand got inside the axle and scratched up both the inside of the wheel and the axle itself.

Sorry that my first Holoholo post isn’t more upbeat but I just wanted the kayak community to know that my experience hasn’t been as good as was expected.
