How To Carry Both A Kayak And Paddle Board At The Same Time

Question:

I am looking for a way to carry my 10 foot ascend kayak 30 inches wide 57 ponds and a paddle board 32 inches wide at the widest on my wife’s 2016 Acura MDX with factory installed roof rack and cross bars. Will this carrier do that? If not any other suggestions? I have a Malone folding J style carrier that I use on my JK but the distance on the Acura cross bars after it is installed only leave around 28 inches for a pad before it would hit the bracket that connects the cross bar to the roof rack, if that make since. Thanks

The Thule compass # TH890000 has enough capacity to hold both your kayak and SUP. It has a spot on each side for both your kayak and SUP and will wrap around your factory roof rack bars on your wife's 2016 Acura MDX. Since the Acura roof rack isn't that wide, hauling the SUP vertically is the way to go and the Thule Compass will get the job done!
