The Thule 873 Hydroglide Kayak carrier carries a kayak,
supported by its hull. Each carrier is supplied with
four supports, two of which are felt lined and fitted
to the rear load carrier. This allows one person to
load the kayak by simply sliding it up on to the car
roof. In addition two 400 cm straps are supplied for
safely securing the Kayak. A lock can also be added
with the optional 538 cable lock. The Hydroglide can
also be used to transport surf boards and small boats.
If the Hydroglide option is not required the 874 Kayak
is available which has four adjustable rubber supports
that shape themselves to the hull contour, gently and
firmly holding the kayak in place.
The 873 Kayak Carrier and 874 Hydroglide fit both square
and aero roof bars.
