Short Product Summary
The Holdfast Kayak Wedge is a set of four rubber cradles that fix into the T-track slot on a Holdfast load bar or wingbar to carry a kayak, canoe or surfski. Non-marking rubber padding cups the hull and stainless steel hardware handles the fittings, with all mounting hardware included in the set.
Why This Product
A hull resting straight on a bare roof bar puts all its weight on a narrow strip of gel-coat, which is exactly where dents and scratches start. These wedges spread that load across a shaped rubber pad instead of one pressure point, and their angled profile helps hold the boat steady against wind buffeting at speed, so it arrives the way it left home.
Key Features
- Wedge-shaped rubber cradles – the shaped pad cups the hull instead of resting it on a flat bar
- Non-marking, UV-stable rubber padding – keeps the boat's finish free of scuffs and resists sun exposure
- Stainless steel hardware – the fittings are built to handle salt spray on trips to the coast
- Mounts into the T-track slot – fixes directly to a Holdfast load bar or wingbar
- Adjusts for hull width – the wedges take different hull widths without swapping parts
- Supplied as a set of 4 with hardware – everything needed to bolt the cradles on is included
Ideal For
- Kayak, canoe and surfski owners who load their boat on a Holdfast roof rack for regular trips.
- Paddlers heading to the coast since the stainless hardware and UV-stable rubber are built to handle salt spray and sun.
- Anyone upgrading from bare roof bars because the shaped cradle spreads the hull's weight instead of resting it on one point.
