Abstract
The invention is a transport device that used in conjunction with a kayak cart or other similar apparatus supporting one end of a kayak. The transport device enables the entire weight of the kayak to be supported by the two devices working in tandem. The user only needs to provide enough force to tow the kayak and is not required to support its weight and the weight of any items loaded onto the kayak. The user can therefore easily and efficiently transport a kayak and its contents over varied terrain from a first location to a second location.
