I've used the C-tug all summer and love it. It's so simple to use and makes loading and unloading at the ramp so easy. I would've given it a 5 star rating but the strap buckles that come with it are not very good. They tend to slip and the kayak slides off. I swapped out the original straps with a cam strap tie down buckle. Works like a charm.

I have had this cart for the better part of a year. It has been used and abused and still is ready for more action. My trips from the truck to the water are typically not long so I don't have a long trek to speak of. My typical trips are over roots, dirt, leaves etc. For these purposes the C Tug works great. If you are a beach launcher, there are sidewinder add ons for the wheels that make sand traveling much easier. I cannot speak of those as I do not surf launch.

While the cart is awesome for my uses, I only gave the cart 4 stars due to the straps. The straps from the factory definitely leave a lot to be desired. The design of the straps make it very hard to cinch the straps down tight.

All in all the C Tug is a great cart, but could be made much better with different straps from the company.
