Question:

Paddle Board carrier recommendation for a 2014 Hyundai Elantra. Just one paddle board, have no idea what I should be looking for since it is such a small car. Thank you!

That's a good question, and in order to carry a stand-up paddle board (SUP) on your 2014 Hyundai Elantra sedan you will need a roof rack and a SUP carrier. Let's start with the roof rack and for that I recommend the SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack for Naked Roofs # SR1010.

This rack is a quality option that is far more budget-friendly than other racks and is going to be perfect for you since all you need is to carry a single paddle board.

The other thing you need is a SUP carrier and I recommend the Thule SUP Shuttle Stand-Up Paddleboard Carrier with Tie-Downs - Roof Mount # TH811XT.

I love this system because not only is it cost-conscious for a single paddle board it is easy to use and protects your paddle board with its molded foam padding. Not to mention it comes with tie-downs, saving you an extra expense of having to purchase those separately.

I have added links to video reviews for you to check out of both the Rola Roof Rack # 59867 and Thule SUP Shuttle Stand-Up Paddleboard Carrier # TH811XT.
