Yes, the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG216 will fit great on the raised rails of your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon to give you the wider rails so you can carry your kayak and canoe - just make sure that the combined weight of your boats and the carriers doesn't exceed 165 lbs and you'll be good to go!

If you don't already have carriers for your boats then I recommend checking out the following:

- etrailer Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style # e98878
- Malone BigFoot Pro Canoe Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs - Gunwale Brackets # MPG112MD

Attached are some review and installation videos for you to check out!
