Can be stolen from a car

Awesome! Perfect for my surfski, 9ft longboard, 11ft rescue surfboard. It didn't happen, but I didn't realize how easy it was for someone to come and take her.

Holds our kayaks with our tall camper cap

These kayak holders solved a very specific problem we had when assembling our 17ft sea kayaks - height difference between our camper cap and our pickup. truck cab.

Pros
  • Consistent test results

  • Stand for kayaks, canoes and SUPs
Cons

Needless to say he didn't handle the boat very well and almost got into an accident when we had to pull over quickly on the road. Safe and durable transportation is clearly key to getting the most out of your boat. enter Tula. Our car is a Toyota Highlander with factory wing shaped trunk bars. I had a lot of trouble finding a kayak roof system that didn't require a…
