Ideal for paddlers who own a combination of kayaks, canoes, and SUPs, this watersport carrier can transport them all. Plus, with the rack's no-strap design, you'll spend more time on the water and less time loading and unloading.

Great Quality; love ease of use, especially as a woman; snug fit. love how they look on my SUV. LOVE!
You can't have anything else on your crossbars if you want to use this rack. The sercurimg bars do not swivel. Target they slide aaaallll the way out then you rotate and put them back in. Very low rent design for the price. Would not recommend.
Great company and customer service. The product was shipped quickly and arrived in a few days. The Lockrack is awesome. I use it for surfboards. It’s so easy to use. I have been using the product for several years and am very pleased with how simple and durable it is.
Lockracks are the absolute best for hauling paddle craft. I use mine to transport Surfskis, Paddleboards, and Outrigger Canoes.
Easy installation. Secure. No straps required. Drove 8 hours up to 80 mph, didn’t move.

After 20,000mi of hauling and adventuring with this rack, I can confidently say it holds everything down well. The plastic locking mechanism and rubber grips work consistently in the hot desert and up in the cold mountains.
The only thing keeping me from giving a 5-star review is the whistling, which I solved by compressing a foam tile between the rack and bar (photo attached).
These are by far the best, most convenient carriers for a lightweight canoe. Very secure and allows you to get the canoe on and off quickly.
Great concept, but execution needs improvement. My primary purpose is to transport paddle boards. It holds the boards securely without the need to compress them using straps especially with boards that do not nest well. It is a bit faster than straps. It does lock although with a hokey one size fits all key that feels like it will strip out on each use. This rack is very noisy. With the same boards securing on standard crossbars and NRS straps I get no whistling. This rack whistles with boards, without boards, supports up, and supports down. This is not a make or break for me but it could be for those sensitive to it. The over all construction could be better. The small and flimsy bar that connects the two halves is essentially worthless and does not appear to serve much purpose as each half gets mounted to the crossbars separately. The support arms do not slide into the base smoothly, it is necessary to jiggle while inserting. I will continue to use the rack and hope for an improved version. I would pay significantly more for a better executed design.
What you need to know: if you don’t have t-slots, these are unusable as is. I tried to find this out before ordering, but somehow I failed. They look nice. Me? I’m not 100% sure I trust t-slots on aluminum racks to keep a kayak on the roof at speed. The instructions arrived after the package via pdf, which clearly says you may or may not have adapters in your box. One thing for sure..you will not figure out how to install without the instructions even though it appears quite simple. Unfortunately, part of my usecase is low profile so I can fit in the garage…the adapters that you can order, I think, look to significantly add to the roof height.
We are using the LockRack with eddyline kayaks on Realtruck Elevate racks. The shape of our kayak is not flat. We were able to adjust the position of our Elevate rack and LockRack arms to fit around the kayaks and hold them tight. After weeks, the kayaks still don't move.
