The first load-assist mount to handle both SUPs and kayaks brought to you by Yakima, makes loading and unloading heavy kayaks and boards a breeze. The lightweight mount tilts down more than two feet from the roof rack, takes on up to 45% of the kayak or boards weight, then helps gently raise it up to the top of the vehicle. Once loaded it securely cradles your kayak or boards for the ride. At only 9.5 kg it's super lightweight but built burly enough to wrangle a 36 kg load.

Reviews

Very good quality and functionality. Delivery by Couriers Please was not as good. Promised delivery dates were not achieved and no answer to emails. Finally arrived without notice. Now all good.

I had a mixed experience with this purchase. Everything went smoothly initially but the product did not arrive on time. In fact it was almost 2 weeks late. However, Keryn, from Bay Sports fixed the problem immediately and the Yakima Racks arrived the following day. Thanks Keryn. The Showdown racks work very well, especially carrying a heavy fishing kayak, but the advertising info needed to outline the difficulty shorter people would have loading and unloading and that this problem would be multiplied for those who have racks on a higher than normal car. In general I am very happy with the “Showdown” and with the customer service provided by Bay Sports.
