Can Paddle Boards be Transported with J-Style Carriers
Question:
Can two paddle boards be transported using two kayak “ J “ racks ? Four “ J’s” total
asked by: Ed
Expert Reply:
I do have a solution for you but J-Style carriers are meant to be used for carrying kayaks because paddle boards are supposed to be transported laying down flat.
The only way to have 2 J-Style kayak carriers and be able to transport your 2 paddle boards is with the Thule Compass Kayak and SUP Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # TH890000. For your application you need to lower the upright and stack your paddle boards on top of each other as you can't carry paddle boards using the J-Style setup.
If you would rather use a traditional paddle board carrier because of this then I recommend the Thule SUP Taxi XT Stand-Up Paddleboard Carrier # TH810001 which is also compatible with 2 boards.
I have attached review videos for each that you can check out.
