I break mine down each time i use it. And after you do it a few times its really not that bad. I try to park as close to the water as possible that way i dont have to carry it far. Also i gotta use 2 pumps, the electric cigarette lighter one doesn't make them firm enough, so i use a manual pump to top them off.
I had thoughts of putting mine on the roof of my car when i first got it. But i then decided not to since my favorite place to take it is pretty far away and i got to take I5 to get there.
