Why this product

Why the Rhino-Rack Nautic 581 Rear Loading?

The Nautic 581 loads from the rear of the vehicle, which is easier than side-loading for many paddlers. Roller-assist saddle design, 75 lb capacity, SUP compatible, and only 6 lbs. If your driveway or parking situation makes side loading awkward, the rear-loading approach on this carrier solves a real problem.
