Roof Rack and Paddleboard Carrier Recommendations for a 2010 Subaru Legacy
Question:
I want to make sure I am purchasing the correct equipment. I have a 4 door 2010 Subaru Legacy. I would like to purchase roof racks and any accessories needed to transport 2 paddle boards. Thanks.

The Semi-Custom roof rack # SR1010 is listed for your 2010 Subaru Legacy. Since it is semi-custom it won't be the best fit like a true custom fit rack would be. If you are interested in a true custom fit rack I recommend an Inno rack using the following parts: bars # INB137, foot pack # INSUT, and fit kit # INK851.
With either roof rack installed you can then add a paddleboard carrier. The Yakima SUPDawg # Y04075 is a popular option. It can hold up to 2 paddleboards that are up to 36 inches wide. I have included a link to a video review for you.
For a lower cost alternative I recommend the Thule SUP Shuttle # TH811XT which is essentially a stripped down version of the SUP Taxi. It also will hold 2 boards up to 34 inches wide. I have linked a video review of this carrier as well.
