“It's a good kayak holder, the bad parts are the straps that came with it, they are useless really. Another hard thing is that they are hard to put on and take off, takes a lot of time to screw on/off. Other than that they are excellent.”
“The racks seem to be good quality and were easy to install.
I’m looking forward to putting them to use when the weather warms up a little.
Baysport’s price was good, service excellent and delivery fast.
What more could you ask?”
“Had used a few times just quick trips to the beach and no probs but then did a 600km trip to the river. After about 120km my son looked out his window and said “the Yak doesn’t look right Dad”. We pulled over and saw the bracket holding onto the roof rack had bent and was now loose causing the strap to slide off the Yak. Figured it was due to all the trucks we were passing going the opposite direction. Couldn’t fix it either as the plastic wing nut to tighten was completely shattered. And wondering why it isn’t a closed loop at the top for the strap to go through? Just a pain as the strap can come straight out when you are putting the Yak on!”

“Overall experience and product quality was good, however, these J racks are not suitable for platform roof racks without some modification being made to the platform. This is not a huge issue because the end result is useable and safe. It would be even easier and time saving if longer, 100mm. bolts being available.”
“They are nice and light and easy to use.
My main issue is that when clamping down on my Rhino roof rack the shape of the clamping mechanism is quite different to the shape of the Rhino roof rack. The contact surface area is not as big as I would like it.”
