Kayak Carriers
Paddling on a freshwater stream, river or out in a bay in a Kayak can be relaxing or exhilarating depending on your preference. They are now becoming popular with fisherman as you can get to some out of the way spots without the expense of owning a boat. While that is great fun, how do you transport the Kayak from home to your favourite water spot?
Providing you own a vehicle that can mount a roof rack or carry bars that answer is easy. Most suppliers offer accessories for their racks or bars and Kayak Carriers are in their catalogues. These are mounts that attach by brackets to a standard roof rack or carry bars and are designed to cradle and hold your Kayak to the vehicles roof. Some even have brackets to hold the paddles. This means you don't need a trailer or vehicle big enough to fit your Kayak in the back.
Being roof mounted Kayaks are used to getting wet so having them exposed to weather is not a problem. Making sure they are strapped down securely is, as you don't want your Kayak to disappear off your roof on the freeway.
Popular Questions Asked
How do I choose the right Carrier for my Kayak?
Kayaks are all basically the same shape though their dimensions and materials they are made from can vary. There are many different ways to mount a Kayak and some things to consider are:
- Loading. Am I on my own or will I have help to get it on and off the roof?
- Pressure Points. When strapped down what is the best place to hold down my Kayak without damaging the hull?
- Kayaks Weight. Can my vehicles roof loading, roof racks or carry bars support the weight?
Once you have answered these questions you can make a more informed choice when looking at Kayak Carriers. There are lots of choices so there will be something you can get that will work for you.
Do I have to tie down the bow and stern of a Kayak?
It is highly recommended to tie down the front and back of your Kayak to your vehicle when transporting it. The longer the Kayak the more important this is, especially in high winds or freeway driving.
