I bought a SUP and I drive a veloster and do not have a roof rack. I used this on my bare roof and traveled about 25 miles with speeds up to 60mph. It is easy to install only took minutes. I wasnt even able to center the SUP on top of my veloster because of the antenna in the middle of the roof of my veloster and it still held my board in place.

My partner and I recently bought two kayaks from Dick ’s and needed to transport them over 100 miles through several mountain passes on a windy day. On a whim, we bought this kit and we are so glad we did. In the parking lot of the Dick ’s, we were able to install the kit on the crossbars of her Subaru Outback within 30 minutes and did not need a single tool for assembly! The instructions that came with the kit were clear and taught us how to safely secure our kayaks to the car. After tightening the straps, the kayaks didn ’ t budge for the entire trek home. This is a great product that is easy to use and effective in fulfilling its purpose.

Worked well for our 1, 200 mile trip. We had two kayaks strapped to this and had no issues.

Great carrier that is easy to install and easy to use. Hauled a large 13. 5' tandem Kayak for a 14 hour trip recently without any issue.

It works but you can easily make your own setup for a 1/3 of the price ... Easy to use ... The carrier kit was fairly easy to hook up to my car. ... I installed crossbars on my vehicle but this kit can actually be used without the crossbars which is a nice feature and helps to keep cost

The carrier kit was fairly easy to hook up to my car. While I would have appreciated a little assistance from an employee I was told they weren ’ t allowed to help me. I eventually figured it out.

Recently purchased this as I am a new kayak owner. I installed crossbars on my vehicle but this kit can actually be used without the crossbars which is a nice feature and helps to keep cost down. Would recommend!

Like it so far- we have a Rav 4 Adventure and had to put the rack in the middle which makes it a little harder to get the Kayaks on the roof. ... All that said, the rack seem strong and the Kayaks rode

loaded up 2 very heavy kayaks and drove them from Bay Area to Cabo... with no problems. Very well made product!

Like it so far- we have a Rav 4 Adventure and had to put the rack in the middle which makes it a little harder to get the Kayaks on the roof. It might have been better if we bought two separate units so they could be closer to the side of the Rav. Also with the support straight up, the bigger Kayak needs to be held until you get the first strap on it. All that said, the rack seem strong and the Kayaks rode well.

Frequently Asked Questions For Foam Carriers

A foam carrier is a device designed to transport watercraft such as kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards safely on vehicles. It typically consists of foam blocks that provide cushioning and support, ensuring that the craft is securely held in place during transit. These carriers are particularly useful for individuals who frequently engage in water sports and need a reliable way to transport their equipment.

Foam carriers offer several advantages, including ease of use, lightweight design, and affordability. They provide excellent protection for your watercraft by minimizing the risk of scratches or damage during transport. Additionally, foam carriers can be easily installed and removed, making them a convenient option for those who may not need a permanent roof rack.

Most foam carriers are designed to be versatile and can be used with a wide range of vehicles, including sedans, SUVs, and trucks. However, it's essential to check the specifications of the carrier to ensure it fits your vehicle's roof dimensions and weight capacity. Proper installation is key to ensuring safety and stability while transporting your watercraft.

To ensure your watercraft is secure with a foam carrier, it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation and use. Make sure the foam blocks are positioned correctly and that the straps or tie-downs are tightened adequately. Additionally, double-check that your watercraft is balanced and evenly distributed on the carrier to prevent shifting during transit.

Foam carriers can be suitable for long-distance travel, provided they are installed correctly and the watercraft is secured properly. It's advisable to periodically check the straps and the positioning of the foam blocks during long trips to ensure everything remains secure. For added peace of mind, consider using additional tie-downs or securing the watercraft inside the vehicle if possible.
