Thank you for the information!
I recommend using the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack kit for the flush rails on your 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon Touring - this system looks really sleek and is easy to use as well as install. Here are the parts you need:
47" WingBar Evo Crossbars - # TH711220
Evo Flush Rail Feet - # TH710601
Fit Kit - # TH186047
Lock Core Kit - # TH450400 (optional)
From here we can add a J-Style kayak carrier. For a cost-effective option I recommend the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier # e98878 but if you're looking for something with some added convenience features then I recommend checking out the Kuat Class 4 V2 Kayak Carrier # KU53VR.
I've attached some videos for you to check out.
