Sometimes you just need to transport a kayak a small distance--either home from the store or to a close-by river. Enter the Malone deluxe kayak kit, which includes everything you need to haul a kayak on occasional short trips.
The kit's pair of 18-inch EVA foam blocks support up to 70 pounds.
The kayak kit comes with two universal-fit, 18-inch, non-skid laminate foam blocks to cushion the kayak in place while evenly distributing the weight of the kayak over the roof frame. This keeps the kayak from distributing excessive pressure on the roof. The blocks also feature universal V-shaped cutouts, ensuring a great fit for every kayak. To secure the kayak during transport, the kit includes two 9-foot block tie-down straps and bow and stern S-hook tie-downs. Best of all, the kit fits virtually any vehicle, including cars with round, square, or factory oval cross rails.
The deluxe kayak carrier kit--which supports up to 70 pounds--includes a carrying case for easy storage.

Deluxe kayak kit for hauling kayaks short distances

I bought this product as a cheap way to transport my kayak to local waterways. The only problem I had with it was that you have to be careful about getting debris underneath the foam pads as it could easily scratch your paint. But, if you don't really care about that then this is the perfect solution. After using it a couple times I find it pretty quick for getting the kayak on and off the roof. One thing you have to watch is the straps - if the straps outside the car are straight, flat and tight they will vibrate quite loudly even at mediocre speeds. To prevent this, just add a single twist in the strap and you won't hear anything.

We have an inflatable kayak (tandem) and wanted a car top carrier so as not to have to inflate it every time. I only wanted it for short trips. This is a very well made product and it is easy to use. It keeps our kayak from touching the hot roof of the car, if you place it properly. Unfortunately, while in Florida, the roof of the car was very, very hot in the sun. Sometimes the rubber surface on the bottom of the foam blocks melts a bit on the roof and leaves a smear on the roof. They are not scratches, just annoying smears that are difficult to remove later. I suggest you try to have the car in the shade before placing the kayak with the blocks on the roof. A good product indeed!

Great product for good price. Does everything as expected. I have a club cap Silverado with folding tonneau cover and I put 2 kayaks on the tonneau and this kayak carrier kit does just fine by holding kayak to foam rubber blocks and the extra straps hold kayak to truck bed.
