SweetRoll: Our Review of YAKIMA's Easy-Loading Boat Rack
After months of testing the YAKIMA SweetRoll, we're excited to share our findings. This rooftop boat loader has completely transformed our kayaking adventures with its intuitive design. The roller system makes loading our kayak remarkably effortless-just place the bow on the rear rollers and push forward.

Even when fully loaded, we noticed minimal wind noise during highway driving. The integrated SKS locks provide peace of mind when we stop for lunch before reaching the water.
For paddlers seeking a user-friendly solution to transport a single kayak or canoe, the SweetRoll is definitely worth the investment.
