Explore the Best Kayak Carriers for Your Adventures

Kayak carriers offer secure, easy-to-use solutions for transporting your kayak. From J-style racks to innovative designs like the Malone SeaWings, these carriers ensure your kayak is safe and easy to load, whether you're heading to a local lake or a distant river.

J-style racks are popular for their secure hold and ease of use. They cradle the kayak on its side, reducing wind resistance and allowing for more space on your roof. However, they may require additional hardware for heavy-duty racks, as some users have found the included bolts insufficient.

The Malone SeaWings allow for rear loading, making it easier to slide the kayak onto the vehicle. This design supports the kayak's hull, preventing deformation and ensuring a secure fit. The load assist feature is particularly helpful for solo loading, though it may leave marks on some kayaks.

Yes, many carriers, like the Malone SeaWings, are designed to fit various crossbar shapes, including square and round bars. It's important to check compatibility with your vehicle's crossbars to ensure a secure fit. Some carriers offer adjustable bases to accommodate different bar types.

When selecting a carrier for a truck rack, consider the mounting hardware. Some carriers may require longer bolts or additional components for a secure fit. It's also important to ensure the carrier's mounts align properly with your truck's cross beams to prevent slipping.

To protect your kayak, choose carriers with rubber padding or non-marking materials. This prevents scratches and deformation. Additionally, secure the kayak with tie-down straps, wrapping them around the load bar for extra stability. Consider using protective mats or covers for added safety.
