When it comes to moving your kayak, surfboards, or paddle boards, getting the right roof rack for your vehicle is critical. The roof rack not only secures the board or kayak to the roof of your vehicle, it also protects your vehicle and reduces the risk of any damage to your equipment.
One of the leaders in these types of racks is Thule. Choosing from the many options in Thule racks does not have to be difficult for buyers in Laguna Beach if you keep a few simple considerations in mind.
Type of Vehicle
There are specific Thule racks Laguna Beach designed for pickup trucks, SUVs, and for cars. Thule offers a handy chart that allows buyers in Laguna Beach to select the specific type of rack based on your watersport gear.
The next step is to consider the make and model of car, truck, or SUV. While these racks are designed to be fairly universal, there are some vehicles that are more difficult to fit with the roof racks. Different mounting options for SUVs and trucks are also available, including protective tailgate pads for pickups.
Orientation of Water Gear
In addition to the type of water gear and the vehicle, it is helpful to know the orientation of the equipment in the rack. Some racks are more flexible and allow for side (vertical) or flat (horizontal) orientation of the equipment. For larger water equipment, such as kayaks, Thule racks also include a lift and load assist model that drops down, eliminating the need to lift the kayak up onto the rack above your head.
