Thule Hull-a-Port Aero: Make Kayak Transport the Easiest Part of Your Trip

Hauling a kayak shouldn’t feel like launching a moon mission. The Thule Hull-a-Port Aero turns roof loading from “ugh” to “ahh,” blending sleek, wind-smart design with rugged protection for both your boat and your car. Clip it on, strap it down, fold it flat—then chase the horizon like it owes you a sunset.

Why Paddlers Love It (Beyond the Thule Name)

• Set-and-forget strapping: The integrated strap-catch holds your straps while you load—no more rooftop spaghetti.
