Holdfast Kayak Cradle

Short Product Summary

The Holdfast Kayak Cradle is a set of four cradles that mount to most roof racks and cross-bars, giving kayaks, SUPs and surfboards a padded, adjustable resting point instead of sitting directly on the bars. Both the angle and width adjust, so the same set can be reset for different craft. Cam straps and installation hardware are included.

Why This Product

A kayak, SUP or board resting straight on bare roof bars can rock, slide or pick up marks on a long drive, and packing the same rack for different craft usually means fiddling with mismatched foam blocks. This cradle set adjusts its angle and width to sit against the actual shape of what you're carrying, spreading the load along rubberised edges instead of a single hard line of contact.

Key Features

• Set of four cradles – enough to build one full support setup across your roof bars
• Adjustable angle and width – reset the same set for kayaks, SUPs or surfboards of different shapes
• Non-marking rubberised edging – grips the hull or board without denting the surface
• Stainless steel hardware – hardware built to keep working outdoors trip after trip
• UV-stable polymers – the cradle material is made to handle long-term sun exposure
• Cam straps and installation hardware included – everything needed to fit the set and tie down your load is in the box

Ideal For

• Kayakers and SUP paddlers who want their craft cradled and centred on the roof bars instead of resting flat on them.
• Surfers loading a board onto a roof rack since the same adjustable cradle works for a board as well as a kayak or SUP.
• Anyone switching between different craft because the angle and width reset rather than needing a different mount for each shape.

Optional Fitment / Upgrade Notes

This set mounts to most roof racks, so check these points before ordering:

• It fits most roof racks and cross-bars using slide-and-lock fasteners; if you have a Holdfast wingbar or another brand's bars, ask us to confirm the fit first.
• The 35kg load rating covers the craft resting in the cradles, so weigh your kayak, SUP or board against that figure.
• Cam straps and installation hardware come in the box, so you shouldn't need to buy separate tie-downs for this set.
