kayak storage

[jerseytrev]

just wondering after looking at the ocean kayak manual (sad i know ) . it recomends storing upside down

well mine is in the garage right way up on a shelf with dense foam under and wedges loosely placed to keep upright and fully supported the whole length .

am i doing it wrong ?????. how do you store yours ? not where , just right way up ,sideways or upside down

Mine's on its side leaning against the wall in my hall. I installed a pulley system to hang it above head height, but I've never used it I imagine the upside down recommendation is probably for if it's stored outside.

For instance "Stored somewhere were thieves can easiliy nick it"!!!!!!!!!
