Kayak Wedge

Holdfast Kayak Wedge Roof Cradles

Carry kayaks, canoes and surfskis safely from coastline to lake with the Holdfast Kayak Wedge boat cradles. The Wedge profile cups the hull, the non-marking rubber padding spreads load away from pressure points, and the stainless steel hardware shrugs off salt spray after countless paddling trips.

Specifications

• Padding: UV-stable, non-marking rubber
• Hardware: Stainless steel
• Compatibility: Bolts into the T-track channel of Holdfast load bars and wingbars

• Use: Kayaks, canoes, surfskis
• Set contents: Set of 4 wedges, with all installation hardware included
• Straps: To be used in conjunction with cam straps, which are sold separately

Why the Kayak Wedge Works

• Hull-friendly contact: Soft rubber padding flexes around the hull instead of digging into a single point, preventing dents and gel-coat scratches.
• Stable in crosswinds: The wedge geometry plus rubber grip pin the boat down at highway speed without strap creep.
• All-weather build: Stainless hardware and UV-stable polymers resist coastal corrosion and sun bleaching.
• Quick fitment: Bolts straight onto the rubber T-track channel of Holdfast wingbars and load bars, using the installation hardware supplied with the set.

Pair With Your Roof Rack

Mount the Kayak Wedge to your Holdfast roof rack for daily use, then strap the hull down with padded cam straps, which are sold separately, and add rated bow and stern tie-downs for longer trips.

Tip: Use bow and stern tie-down lines on long trips – they prevent hull lift in crosswinds and dramatically reduce strap creep.
