Hello all paddlers of all sizes and ages. I want to mention too you about the sherpak roof protectors. I have bought so many roof racks so many different pads. Nothing ever stays secure and i get awful scratches on my roof. Since I purchased the sherpak nothing comes close for protection of your kayak, canoe or SUP. It sits comfortably on any roof without damaging your vehicle. Its avoids unwanted roof scratches and dents that other products dont provide. They help by staying in place while loading or unloading. Keep your vehicle safe, your yak or sup, and most importantly always remember to stay safe on the water. So paddling remains to be a family hobby, no matter the age. Its amazing all the things that you can accomplish when you have the right gear. Best wishes and happy paddling
