Right after you buy a kayak, you’ll find you also need to buy a car rack to carry it. There are three types of car racks to choose among.
People who are shopping for car racks notice right away that there are many to choose from. There are many ways to travel with your kayak on the roof of your vehicle. You want to choose the best one for your kayak and your vehicle. You want to be sure the system that you pick is reliable and suitable for your kayak’s size.
All three types of kayak mountings are efficient, depending on the vehicle and the kayak.
Vertical Support System
The vertical support system normally goes on the rear of the vehicle and is usually used on vans or SUVs. The holder has upright poles and straps to keep the kayak in position.
Saddle System
The saddle system has four padded holders attached to the vehicle for the kayak to sit on. Straps wrap around the kayak to hold it fast.
Roller System
The roller system is similar to the saddle system except it has wheels that make loading and removing the kayak easier.
People usually travel with their kayaks on the roof. Each system works reliably with proper installation, and each system adjusts to the size of the kayak and works for all vehicles. So just choose one, put it on and hit the road and the water!
