Anyone have the PAW roof racks?

They are way cheaper than Thule or Yakima. I am definelty considering them as I was thinking about getting a 12 ft kayak.

Yes I do, don't use it much but here's my write up. For a 12 footer, you'd prolly want to pair the roof rack with a vertical hitch rack. Might work fine without the hitch rack too. I use the "paw" rack for my big Thule box occasionally. Just gotta re-tighten it of you put a bunch of weight on it. It does the job but clearly it's just a cheap plastic rack. The bars look and sound like airplane wings. They are aerodynamic at least. For the inflatable paddleboard, I typically throw that in the bed, inflated or deflated. So my use-case is pretty limited with this roof rack.

Sounds like they are meh and you get what you pay for? Maybe I will look at craigslist yakiama setups lol

The fact that the site says they're for model years 2020 and up is a bit telling of quality imo lol.

Those will probably deform your roof and might rip off with any "lift" from the gear on top. Spend the $ and get a proper set of ladder racks for the bed.
