I have 2 ocean kayaks that are probably around 9 feet, and I have a Ford Explorer Sport Trac, which has a short bed.
I always go kayaking at a local spot in my neighborhood about 5 minutes away, so it's alright to strap them in the back of my truck, but I want to go to a further place, about 25 minutes away.
I have 2 tie-down straps that keep them pretty safe on the bed, and I always have red ribbons to show that they hang off, but I want to know if it is safe (and legal) to drive with them in the back?
Thank you!
