Kayak Loading Support Y – Adjustable Suction Cup Loading Aid
The Kayak Loading Support Y is a simple and practical loading aid designed to help support and guide a kayak when lifting it onto a vehicle roof rack. Its Y-shaped support cradles the kayak hull, while the soft foam covering helps protect the kayak from scratches and hard contact during loading.
The support mounts temporarily to a suitable smooth vehicle surface using a strong single suction cup and features three adjustable height positions, allowing you to set the support at the most suitable height for your vehicle and kayak. It is a straightforward, lightweight solution for occasional kayak loading and transport.
