Malone FoldAway J Kayak Carrier — Fold-Down, Low-Profile Kayak Carrier

Meet the Malone FoldAway J Kayak Carrier

Plan your next paddle with a rack that travels light and stores even lighter. The FoldAway J Kayak Carrier combines solid construction with a thoughtful fold-down design, so you can prep and pack with ease, then lock in your kayak in moments.

From the moment you lift it, you’ll notice a balanced profile and smooth action. The fold-down frames release quickly, allowing you to slide the carrier into place and secure a single kayak without wrestling bulky equipment. When you reach your destination, the unit folds to a compact footprint, helping you avoid rough driveway scrapes and tight garage openings.
