Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima pads for the aero style crossbars. This is going to be 20" long, part #Y07412. These also come in 30" long as Y07413.The Yakima pads for aero bars are a simple solution for carrying your standup paddle boards, your surf boards, your canoes or your kayaks on the roof of your vehicle to your destination. While these pads come in a quantity of two, they do not come with the tie downs necessary to secure your loads so you will have to find those in etrailer.com. Yakima offers a wide variety of straps to do this.The foam padding is gonna help protect your standup paddle boards or boats from scratches or abrasions once it's being installed. The 20" length for our pads is perfect to fit most standup paddle boards and kayaks.
The anti-slip material at the top will also keep your gear in place while you install it as well and when you strap it down. This is easily less than a five minute install thanks to the hook and loop straps that wrap around your roof rack system. This'll fit around the core bar or JetStream Yakima crossbars as well as most factory roof racks or most other aerodynamic style crossbars. The pads measure 20" long by 3" wide by 2" tall.When comparing this with other roof pads, one that comes up is gonna be the Swagman Vapor Surf and Standup Paddle Board pad for Aero Crossbars, part #S65160. The biggest difference between these two is that with the Swagman, it is primarily designed to work with both surfboards and standup paddle boards, not kayaks or canoes.Now that we've gone over some of the features of the pads, let's go ahead and show you how they work.
You first want to open up all the hook and loop straps on the bottom here so we can wrap it around our bar. So we set this on our bar, make sure the thing setting over it. Then we'll go underneath and connect up our hook and loop straps. Make sure we go as tight as possible so we don't get it moving around as much. And we'll repeat this for our other pad as well.Next we can put our standup paddle board in place.
Make sure it's even on both sides then you can take whatever tie down straps that you may have and secure it to your roof. Alright, we are now ready to hit the road and show you how it looks and there you have it for the Yakima pads for the Aero style crossbars, part #Y07412.

These pads are great. Used to cushion my Hornbeck canoe. Leaves room for kayak rack too. Very secure. Glad I got them!

I am glad they are working well for you! Where are you able to get out and surf? Here in Missouri we have none of that haha.
Do you have a question about this Watersport Carrier?
