Borrow some roof rack cross bars for a crystal lite l400

[mrraulduke]

It's a bit of a long shot, but maybe someone has a set of cross bars that will fit a crystal lite L400 roof. I have a snow to surf race this weekend, and need to fit a Kayak on my roof. If anyone has a pair in the mid-island area and would be willing to loan them out to a stranger (yikes!) in exchange for some cold ones or WHY i'd be greatly appreciative.

I will try out the foam blocks from the rental place, but roof bars are so much more secure.


Cheers, Kyle

Try Alberni outpost.

[mrraulduke]

yup.
They can rent me some foam blocks to rest on the roof, then i can ratchet strap it down.
Thats my main plan, just looking for a better alternative.
Cheers!

I was going to say Alberni Outpost as well, if they don't have roof racks then you have to go with foam blocks. I don't really know anyone else in the area except the kayak club on long lake.

However, the foam padding will work great, I have used it for sea kayaks a number of times as my roof bars were made with white water kayaks in mind. I have taken a number of kayaks out to MOMAR races in the past using only foam blocks, so it won't hurt to go that route. Just make certain that the blocks compress a bit so that they won't move around.

OK.
cheers. I guess the foam blocks will do then!
I need to hurry up and get a hitch put on.
Still as it is i'll have room for 2 bikes, a kayak and 4 people!
