Another unique product from Huki, and one that works well with all Huki canoes and all other brands of OC-1's and OC-2's. These foam cradles will allow you to carry your Canoe, Surf Ski or Kayak right-side-up on most any cross-Bar shape or size. One Set contains padding for both the front bar and the rear bar, and a front and rear pad for an ama if you need it. The hull pad supports are cut to fit any racing hull arc and can be spaced to fit any width of a racing paddle craft, and certainly fits every kind of Huki ever produced. Be sure to email Jude@Huki.com after ordering this product to let him know what type of craft and bar system you are mounting.
We also offer specially cut cradles to fit OC2's and Surfskis. Just ask Jude@Huki.com about how to order and purchase car top cradles for these larger hull shapes. We also make cradles that fit the extremely large lumber racks and extra large aluminum cross bars.
The Universal cradle set is 4 inches wide and fits nearly every rectangular Thule and tubular Yakima bar, as well as most factory original foil shaped cross bars. This provides 33% more surface contact with your hull to spread the load of tightly cinched straps and more protection in general, as well as prevention of the pad rolling on the bar. One set of cradles is enough for both front bar and rear bar for the main canoe and the ama. Huki canoes with our "Stubby Transport Iako Set are able to rest on these cradles with the ama attached to the main canoe, so that you ONLY strap down the main canoe and do not have to strap down the ama.
The straps are tightened over the side wings of the cradle, which are forced tightly against the hull to help prevent lateral movement. This cradle fits OC-1 and Olympic K1 hulls specifically. For OC-2's and all surfskis (single and double) check out our other similar cradle that accommodates larger hulls.
