For years I’ve been hemmin’ and hawin’ about what sort of kayak rack I should get – heck we made a whole page right here on BornToPaddle.com all about How To Choose A Kayak Rack. You readers probably thought that was for your benefit – actually I was trying to figure it all out myself!

Well, I’ve finally made my decision about which kayak roof rack is right for me. I’m one person with one boat and one car. Some of the racks out there were just too much rack for me. I have a factory roof rack, which some rack systems aren’t compatible with. Quite honestly, I just wanted something easy, something I could snap on, load the boat, tie ‘er down and be on my way. No fuss, no muss, that’s me.

So…I’ve decided to go with foam blocks. What a load off my mind. They fit my factory rack, they hold the kayak away from my car’s roof – so no scratching, denting. They even came with all the tie downs I need. It’s so simple, it’s 1-2-3.

If you’re interested in simplifying your life a bit (with regard to an easy, affordable, yet quality kayak transport rack system) I highly recommend any of these options – notice that these are inexpensive roof rack solutions that work:
