Scupper cart wheels

[seaslug]

I used the Hobie standard plastic wheels for a while then got the upgraded pneumatic wheels - neither work well at the Coast Guard Station.

Both types sink into the soft sand to the point of making the kayak very hard to pull across the beach. On pavement they are a breeze.

The wide (5" to 8") plastic wheels would work well but they would be a royal pain to carry on the kayak on the water.

I am just wondering - would I do better leaving the wheels off while I pull across the sand? I may try that if I don't hear better suggestions. Hate to score up the bottom of the kayak.
