I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

ShowDown

Experience the ultimate convenience when it comes to loading your kayak or SUP onto your vehicle with Yakima's ShowDown. Leave behind the hassle and effort of lifting heavy boats and boards with tired arms after a long day on the water.

With ShowDown, you can simply remove the pins and the mount will effortlessly tilt down up to two feet from the top of your vehicle. This allows you to easily secure your boat or board using the integrated strap ties. Once it's securely in place, just raise it up as it pivots to the top of your vehicle. Your vessel will be safely ready for the ride.

Featuring a universal mounting system, ShowDown works perfectly with any bar shape. On top of that, it's incredibly lightweight at only 21lb, yet it can handle an impressive 80lb load without any issues.

Key Features:

  • Easily load and unload kayaks and boards at the side of the vehicle
  • Maximum 80 lb. boat and board capacity
  • Compatible with most roof racks due to its universal mounting hardware
