Watersports Racks
Watersport carriers are a must have for anyone who owns a kayak, canoe, or surfboard. All watersport carriers are roof mounted, so you’ll need either a base rack system with load bars or a factory installed system with crossbars. Both Thule and Yakima have a variety of safe and secure carriers with different options to fit any budget. When shopping for watersport carriers, there are three main types to consider, each with their own advantages. Horizontal style carriers lay the boat flat, making it easy to load, and offer the most surface area contact while fitting a wide range of boats. Vertical style carriers are great because they carry your boat on its side, giving you more real estate on your load bars for carrying other boats, boxes, or bikes. If ease of use is your main concern, you should check out the third style, which are the load assisting models. They minimize the effort needed to lift your boat onto the roof of your vehicle, making it easy for one person to safely load and unload their boat, even after a long day of paddling around.
