Canoe, Kayak, and Paddleboard Carrier Recommendation for Yakima Rack and Roll

Question

Question:

Trying to transport a kayak, canoe, and paddle board on a Yakima rack n roll trailer. I see the jaylow can hold 2 kayaks when in the vertical position- do you think I can hold the kayak and board? Or just get 2 sets of the Yakima Jayhooks?

Paddleboards are too thin to carry vertically with a Yakima JawLow part # Y04073 and have them be secured as safely as they'd need to be. You really will need a rack for each item on your Rack and Roll # Y08107.

The etrailer J-Style Carrier part # e98878 would be great for the kayak, then for the canoe the KeelOver part # Y04069, and finally for the paddleboard you'd want the SUPDawg part # Y04075.
