Recommendation for SUP and Kayak Carrier for 2007 Hummer H2 SUV

Question:

Id like to be able to carry 2 SUPs and 2 kayaks on top of a 2007 Hummer H2 SUV. The Hummer has factory rack system and would like to just add proper products to be able to transport both at the same time if possible. Please advise if this is possible and what products you may recommend. Thanks!

It may be possible for you to carry both your kayaks and SUPs on your 2007 Hummer H2. To determine if you have enough room to carry both, you will want to take some measurements.

To carry your kayaks on your 2007 Hummer H2 with factory roof rack, I recommend using Thule's The Stacker # TH830. This carrier can hold up to 4 kayaks vertically on your roof. This carrier takes up 6 inches on the crossbar. To the 6 inches of the carrier, you will want to add the depth of each kayaks hull. This will tell you how much space the kayaks will take on the roof.

The SUPs need to be carried flat. You can use a SUP carrier like the Yakima SUPDawg # Y04075. This carrier is designed to carry up to 2 boards. The carrier is 40-1/8 inches wide.

If the width of the kayaks on The Stacker and the width of the SUPs on the SUPDawg are within the length of the factory crossbars on your H2, then you will be able to carry all 4 on your roof rack at the same time.

One pair of ratcheting straps and 2 tie down straps are included with The Stakcer. For additional tie-down straps, you can use # 753-2030-02 and for additional bow and stern tie downs you can use parts # 853-5466 and # 853-5464.
