The J racks do dent the bottom of the kayak, but it hasn't led

I thought that the whole point of those J racks was that it was
supposed to prevent that!


I have little respect for Yakima ever since they went from their
original kayak stackers (straight bars, $40 a pair) to those
ridiculous overpriced ($70 a pair) U-shaped things for people that do
not know how to tie a trucker's hitch and loop it over the top of a
straight bar to hold stacked kayaks when tying them down.
