Roof Racks
If your vehicle has OEM roof racks, get one. Otherwise there are several aftermarket roof racks available from trusted brands that will work great for transporting your kayak on the roof.
If you are transporting one kayak, kayak mounts may not required. Use roof rack pads and secure your kayak directly to the roof racks. The pads will help keep the kayak from slipping. Be sure to wrap the straps around the rack close to the kayak. The straps will keep the kayak from sliding to the left or right.
Roof Rack Kayak Mounts
Although not required, adding kayak mounts on your roof rack will make loading and securing your kayak easier. There are two types of kayak racks designed to fit on top of your car or trailer. J-Types are the most popular because they allow you to easily fit two kayaks on almost any car. But not all kayaks are designed to work with J Types. Bigger, heavier sit on top kayaks are often too large and require that you use the other type of kayak mount, saddle type mounts.
Recommended Roof Rack
Choosing a kayak rack and mount will depend upon individual needs. However, there are several aftermarket brands that will secure your kayak and handle about anything you can throw at them. If you are in need of a temporary solution, the Yakima instant roof racks are a great solution.
