Getting a loaded fishing kayak from the vehicle to the water can be one of the hardest parts of the day, especially when you fish alone. The Boonedox Groovy Landing Gear Standard Kit puts the wheels on the kayak, letting you roll your rig to the launch, stow the wheels before heading out, then deploy them again when it is time to get the kayak back to the vehicle.

Roll your rig from the vehicle toward the water with the wheels deployed, then swing them up and stow them before heading out to fish. When you return, deploy the wheels again and pull the kayak back toward the vehicle. There is no separate cart to stash on shore, carry back to the truck or wrestle underneath the kayak at the end of the day.
Keep your transport system with the kayak so launching and retrieving becomes part of your rig instead of another piece of gear to manage.
No. The wheels swing up and stow when they are not needed, allowing the landing gear system to remain with the kayak while you are on the water.
No. The Groovy Landing Gear mounts to the top of the kayak hull, and the wheels can be deployed and stowed without positioning a conventional cart underneath the kayak.
The Standard Kit works with many kayaks, but Boonedox notes that some models require additional components or a different Groovy Landing Gear kit. Check Boonedox's current compatibility guide for your exact kayak before choosing a kit.
No. Boonedox specifies that the landing gear is intended for transportation rather than supporting the kayak during storage. Leaving it deployed during storage can flat-spot the tires and place additional stress on the kayak.
The landing gear stays attached to the kayak, so the wheels can move between transport and stowed positions as you launch and retrieve. That eliminates the routine of removing a separate cart at the water, finding somewhere to leave it and putting it back under the kayak after fishing.
