Roof rack and roof top carriers will you the best way to transport a kayak and a paddle board on your 2014 Ford F-150. Due to the larger shape of kayaks and paddleboards there really isn't anywhere else you could carry them as well.
First thing you'll want is a roof rack which for that I recommend the Rhino Rack Aero Bar rack part numbers # RRVA150B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK150 as it's a very high quality rack that is easy to install and due to the shape of the bars minimizes wind noise.
Then for a kayak carrier you'd want the Yakima JayLow part # Y04073 is padded, can fold down when not in use and fits the Rhino Rack bars well. For the paddleboard carrier you'd then want the Thule SUP Taxi part # TH810001 as it's very easy to install and very securely carries the paddleboard.
