Malone Canoe Carrier Kit — Universal 6" EVA Foam Blocks, 15-ft Cam-Buckle Straps, Includes Tie-Downs

Malone Standard Foam Block Universal Car Top Canoe Carrier Kit provides a complete, low-cost solution to safely haul one canoe on most roof racks using four 6" non-skid EVA foam blocks, straps, and safety tie-downs.

This compact kit bundles everything you need to carry a single canoe for short trips: four 6-inch universal gunnel-style foam blocks, two 15-foot cam-buckle load straps, two 15-foot tie-down cords, bow and stern safety ties, four S-hooks, and a reusable travel tote. The blocks are made from closed-cell EVA foam for a soft surface that resists water and abrasion, while the straps and safety lines secure the canoe to round, square, or factory oval crossbars. Designed and made in the USA, the Malone kit focuses on simple setup and dependable transport without the cost of a permanent rack.

How does this kit protect my canoe during transport?

The EVA closed-cell foam blocks cushion the hull and reduce vibration and rubbing against roof bars, while non-skid surfaces help hold the canoe in place. Cam-buckle straps and safety tie-downs lock the canoe to the vehicle so it stays stable during acceleration, turns, and highway driving.

• 6" non-skid gunnel-style blocks cradle the canoe hull
• Closed-cell EVA resists water, compression, and abrasion
• Cam-buckle straps prevent forward/backward movement
• Bow and stern safety lines secure the canoe ends to the car

Will the Malone kit fit my vehicle's crossbars?

The foam blocks have a universal cut-out profile that fits round, square, and most factory oval cross rails, so you won’t need special adapters in many common setups. S-hooks and flexible tie-down cords allow you to attach to different roof-rail or bumper anchor points as needed.

• Universal cut-out fits round, square, and oval load bars
• S-hooks adapt to various anchor points and rack styles
• Straps and tie-down cords work with most vehicle geometries

How easy is it to install and store this canoe carrier?

Installation is straightforward: position the foam blocks, place the canoe, tighten the cam-buckle straps, and run bow/stern safety lines. When you’re done, all components pack into the included reusable tote for tidy storage and quick re-deployment on your next trip.

• Quick placement of four foam blocks on crossbars
• Two cam-buckle straps for fast, tool-free tightening
• Included travel tote stores blocks, straps, and hardware

What materials and warranty cover the kit?

Blocks are molded from durable closed-cell EVA foam that resists moisture and deterioration; straps are heavy-duty cam-buckle webbing designed for repeated use. Malone backs the product with a one-year limited warranty and emphasizes simple-to-use, recyclable designs.

• Closed-cell EVA foam construction for longevity
• 15' cam-buckle load straps and 15' tie-down cords included
