Efficient and Effective J-Cradle Design
---------------------------------------
The Thule 835PRO Hull-a-Port PRO Rooftop Kayak Carrier is the
right kayak carrying solution for paddlers whose concerns in a
carrier are split between efficiency and ease of use. Designed
around two folding J-profile Hull-a-Port carrier assemblies, each
attached to a roof rack load bar and containing four adjustable
touchpoints of padding, the Hull-a-Port PRO allows kayaks of all
shapes and sizes to safely lean on their sides, with the cockpit
facing out. This vertical stowage position is safe, aerodynamic
and secure in transport and poses no danger of warping to boats
when they are stowed correctly. Vertical stowage and transport
also efficiently uses the precious space atop your roof rack,
allowing for up to four Hull-a-Port PRO carriers to be used at
once on certain vehicles, or leaving room for other roof rack
accessories to share space with the 835PRO. The Thule Hull-a-Port
PRO Rooftop Kayak Carrier is also easy to load and unload by 1-2
people. ed close to the side of a vehicle, once drained,
kayaks are easily lifted and held in place by the padded
J-profile Hull-a-Port design.
The Hull-a-Port Pro also contains simple, but substantial
aerodynamic improvements over other similar carriers. The first
of these is that when it is not loaded, a lift of a lever allows
its two Hull-a-Port support assemblies to fold flat onto your
roof rack. This instantly reduces wind resistance on moving
vehicles, thus improving mileage. This functionality also
allows for better clearance around low branches, garages and the
like. In a similar fashion a pocket in the lower pad of the
Hull-a-Port PRO can be used to securely hold excess lengths of
straps used to tie off kayaks. Tucking straps away like this
reduces the chances of them coming loose in transit and cuts down
on noise they generate as wind blows by them.
Optimally sized J-profile carrier leaves roof space for multiple
boats or other Thule accessories.

About Thule
-----------
Thule was founded in 1942 by the Thulin family, when Eric
Thulin, a true lover of the outdoors, put the Thule name on a
pike trap he designed and began to sell in Scandinavia. It wasn't
long before he added other practical items to the company's
portfolio. By the 1960s, the company began to concentrate on
car-related products, including its first roof rack. The Thulin
family sold Thule to the publicly listed company Eldon in 1979,
and it has continued to grow both ally and through
acquisitions ever since. The Thule Group is a world leader in
providing transport solutions for an active life.
