Showcasing from the floor of the recent 2018 Paddlesports Retailer trade show, LOCKRACK’s Seth Simchowitz provides a little background on the company’s South African roots, born of a desire for a lockable rack system able to securely cradle a composite surfski. The Universal X provides an accessory system consisting of four arms and their four bases that will hold a single kayak (or two SUP boards), and will slide on any factory bar or (with the use of included adapters) fit onto any rectangular or round rack cross-bars. As Simchowitz explains, the arms are always locked in place, and with a simple turn of an included key, slide out to fit your craft, then slide back in, locking into position. The arm bases can expand from a width of 50 to 65 cms to fit, and lock down, your wider fishing kayak of choice.

From box to load-ready with a few simple tools.

Lockrack uses a patented key design to quickly remove and lock the holding bars in both vertical or horizontal positions. LOCKRACK Universal X Water Craft Carrier ($350; MORE INFO – BUY NOW)
