Question:

I have a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe that I need to carry 2 kayaks with on the roof. What's the best way to do this?

First you'll want a roof rack installed on your 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe which for that the best option is the Thule Aeroblade roof rack part numbers # TH711220, # TH460R, and # THKIT4093 as this rack will give you aero shaped crossbars that are 47 inches long that will be a great base for mounting a kayak carrier and will also minimize wind noise when compared other bar shapes. The install video I attached for this rack shows it installed on a similar 2016 Santa Fe.

Then for a kayak carrier the Yakima JayLow # Y04073 is a great option. This carrier is a J-style carrier that can fit a kayak on either side of it.
