I'd appreciate users' input and some pics.
Thank you,

You should give the Railblaza products a look, not a massive of hardware and it will hold all that you wish to.

I guess the generally it's a no go for most of you?
Anybody has one on theirs and any pros or cons from actual use?
Thank you!

I always stow my stuff in the front hatch before heading in through the surf. The one time I got cocky and didn't I flipped over. I don't know how I would get to the front hatch with one of those in place. Maybe they're easily removable for front hatch access. I don't know.

I have one on my X-Factor. It isn't bad but I prefer the Yackattack tracks I put on the Hobie. At 6'5 the X-wing seems to always get in the way of getting in and out of the kayak and you can kiss off getting anything out of the front hatch.

It isn't bad, but like the flexibility of the track system. The tracks are probably lighter weight as well.

I agree with phil, Yak Attack GearTrac might be a better option than the x-wing.
