Paddling

Kayak and Canoe Carriers — Made in South Africa

Holdfast designs and manufactures a complete range of paddling gear — from kayak roof racks and canoe cradles to storage brackets and tie-down straps. Built in SA for SA conditions, our products are used by recreational paddlers, surf ski enthusiasts, and competitive canoeists across the country.

Kayak Roof Racks and Transport Solutions

Getting your kayak to the water is half the challenge. Our kayak roof rack range makes it straightforward:

• Kayak Cradles — secure, padded cradles that hold your kayak firmly on the roof during transport
• Kayak Wedge — a purpose-made wedge system for secure, damage-free carrying
• Padded Cam Straps — strong, padded straps that protect your hull while holding it in place

All transport products mount onto standard crossbars. If you need a roof rack system for your vehicle first, start with our vehicle finder to get the right base setup, or browse the roof rack range directly.

Canoe and Surf Ski Storage

When you’re not on the water, your canoe or surf ski needs to be stored correctly — off the ground, supported at the right points, and out of the way. Our storage solutions include:

• Canoe/Surfski Storage Bracket — wall-mounted bracket for safe, space-efficient canoe storage
• Canoe Store It — a compact, practical canoe storage system for garages and sheds

For more wall-based storage options, see our wall storage range.

SA-Made for SA Paddlers

Holdfast products are designed, engineered, and built in South Africa. Our paddling gear is made to handle the demands of local conditions — from the salt air of the Cape coastline to the heat and UV of Gauteng. Durable materials, sensible designs, and local availability make Holdfast the practical choice for SA paddlers.
