Kayak and SUP carrier for Slimline II roof rack systems
Last reviewed: March 2026
At a glance
Why this product
If you already run a Slimline II rack, this is the simplest way to get a kayak, canoe, or SUP on your roof — padded saddle cradles, 75 lb capacity, and only 6.6 lbs of added weight. The saddle style keeps the hull centered and stable, and SUP compatibility means you can swap boards without swapping hardware. No load assist though, so you are lifting everything yourself.
