Kaha Paddle 3/4 canoe Saddles

Designed by paddlers who weren’t satisfied with generic cradles, the Kaha 3/4 Canoe Saddles provide unmatched hull support, easy installation, and full adjustability to suit any outrigger canoe shape. With today’s ultra-light canoes being more fragile than ever, these saddles were engineered to minimise transport damage by increasing hull contact and reducing strap pressure. Strong, padded, and intelligently shaped — they’re the safer, smarter way to transport your W1 or OC1.

Key Features

Full Hull Support: 3/4-length saddle design doubles hull contact compared to V-mounts, reducing pressure points and transport damage.

Strong Aluminium Build: Fabricated from durable 6mm aluminium with corrosion-resistant hardware.

Premium Closed-Cell Foam: 80mm-wide, 25mm-thick padding protects fragile lightweight canoes.

High/Low Side Design: High side stabilises the canoe in wind; low padded side allows easy side loading.

Adjustable Fit: Cradles can be shaped to perfectly match different OC1/W1 hull profiles.

T-Slot Compatible: Fits 99% of modern roof racks using the T-slot mounting system.
