Replacement foam block for Malone kayak and SUP carrier (MPG171) makes it easy to transport a kayak or SUP on most roof rack crossbars and naked roofs. Foam blocks a safe surface between your vehicle and your boat. Straps and tie-downs not included.

Fit my Subaru Outback factory bars very well. My fishing kayak was raised adequately to avoid interference with the parallel bars from a Yakima Showboat 66 rack addition to help car top my kayak. I am very pleased with the product so far. I will have to see how long the foam blocks last.
As a single older woman, I found the foam pads difficult to put on my roof rack, but managed with the aid of a broom handle. Once on, and maneuvering my new kayak up on to them, I am very pleased with the end result! The pads provide the cushion and protection I had wanted for both the boat and my Subaru roof rack. Thank you.
We purchased these foam blocks (2) to carry our large Perception Tribe double kayak on our Honda CRV. They are perfect! Because our kayak is so wide and has a rather flat bottom, we needed long blocks Without a large U-shape curve to them. The 24” length and the slight V-shape indent are perfect to provide the support and stability we need on our roof rack crossbars. The shorter blocks we had tried previously allowed the kayak to rock too much. The blocks have a nice large opening for the crossbar. The foam material is quite stiff, so it does take some effort to get the block onto the crossbar, but once there, it is very stable. We just received them and have only used them once. We are anxious to see how well they hold up over time, being put on and taken off frequently.
Bro I thought this came as a pair. Not worth the money
This is not universal I struggled to get the blocks to fit my Thule Track rack. I would not recommend for a Thule rack.

Thank you for your review. The opening for the bar measures 1 inch in height by a little over 3 inches in length. I recommend to measure the roof rack bars before trying these.

Made these work on my Thule and then Velcro strapped them down and they work great.
A completely painless experience. No issues start to finish, great communication. A great example for others to follow for online shopping.
This product worked very well for me. The material is more dense than I expected which is good. It gives enough to support my kayak but not enough to allow the hull to be damaged in any way by the underlying support.

I still use it and it works fine.
Very happy with these blocks. THey fit snug on my trailer bar. One of my fishing kayaks does not have the typical V shaped bow and this block is the only one that I have found that supported it. Great purchase!
Great blocks for my Savage River Falcon. 24" width helps as the normal 16" are nearly too narrow. Shipping from etrailer was very fast.
High quality foam kayak blocks. Will be storing our Hobie kayaks on them for the winter. Love that they are 24 inches and very reasonably priced.
As usual, fast shipping, great tracking and superb product.
Product looks great & arrived in very secure packaging.
The folks at etrailer were super responsive to my inquiry & product delivered sooner than expected.
Product was delivered in a timely manner.
It was a pleasure doing business with etrailer.com ... :-)
Just what I needed at a fair price. Shipping was fast.
It looks like you may have sent me the wrong ones. The ones you sent have a giant hole and look like the ones that are intended for truck racks. They don’t fit my Subaru at all.

I am so sorry to hear that! I will make sure the correct ones are sent out to you.
We needed high density foam in a long length to fit our kayaks. The product was exactly as described and at 24" long actually fits out kayaks. We received it fast too!
Great product, fast shipping!
They took FOREVER to get to me in the summer of 2021 because of COVID supply chain problems in China (2+ months), but since I've got them, they've done exactly what I've needed them to do. They're awesome!
Worked great for supporting my kayak.
A little tight to put on my rack but snug and perfect to lay the cockpit of my upside down kayak on.
Exactly what I needed
Excellent product! Built to last!
Awesome product, it works perfectly for me!!
great product.

Im so glad to hear that, Greg! I have a question for you about kayak fishing. Do you find you have more luck in the kayak vs standing on land fishing? Is it hard to maneuver the rod while seated in the kayak? I think Id be afraid of tipping over into the water if I was wrestling a fish on the line! haha
