Why this product

Why the Thule DockGrip?

The DockGrip handles kayaks, SUPs, and surfboards in one compact saddle carrier with an 85 lb weight limit โ€” higher than most in this class. The foam padding cradles the hull gently, and at 6.8 lbs it barely adds roof weight. No load assist and single-boat only, but if you rotate between paddle craft, the versatility is hard to beat.
