Kayak Carriers & Roof Rack Accessories

Your kayak might be built for the wild, but it’s the drive to the water where damage often happens. A good transport setup doesn’t just protect your boat—it protects your car, your peace of mind, and your entire paddling mission. This collection includes everything you need to secure your kayak with confidence: foam cradles, cam-buckle tie-downs, J-racks, uprights, lockable cradles, and high-vis flags. Whether you're a weekend warrior or prepping for Coast to Coast, we’ve got systems for every style and budget.

The Yakima JayLow is our go-to cradle—versatile, rock-solid, and built to handle long drives and strong winds. For those needing a budget or temporary setup, our foam cradles are a popular option that won’t deform your kayak hull. And for multisport racers and families, our accessories help make loading fast, secure, and frustration-free.

We offer advice and support to help you avoid the common mistakes—ratchet straps that over-crank and crush your boat, forgotten bow/stern lines on long trips, or no safety flag on the rear overhang (required by NZ law for any load extending more than 1m behind your vehicle).

Your kayak costs good money, and your time on the water is too valuable to risk damage or high-speed mishaps. A quality roof rack setup is an investment in hassle-free and safe days paddling.
