I started off using the ratchet straps, but when the load shifted, the strap tension relaxed and allowed the kayak to slip. In order to keep the tension the ratchet strap would have to be super-tight. I didn't want to deform the kayak so I used bungie straps instead. When adjusted properly, the bungies provided the right amount of tension and had enough elasticity to overcome any shock induced shifting of the kayak. It has worked very well so far.
