On the subject of portable racks, I have been using the foam racks that REI sells for kayaks and they have always worked just fine. They aren't expensive at all and they can be put on a car in no time at all (easily under five minutes). Upon my return to the US a couple of weeks ago, I purchased an SUV and those smaller blue foam racks no longer fit. Well, no problem. REI now sells larger foam racks for larger vehicals. They slip right over the racks that are already installed on my vehical, and they work great too! So, if you are looking for racks and you don't know what to get, I suggest trying these out because they are inexpensive, easy to install/remove, and they pack up nice and small too.

I'm afraid I'm not about to take off my Yakima set-up to test them out. Though I did suggest to a friend (who has one of those nice expensive cars) that he should try it out one day. sandy kramer miami *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
