Hey Jorge,
I would first check the capacity of your OEM crossbars to ensure that they're rated high enough to handle the weight of the carrier and kayaks. A lot of OEM crossbars tend to be more for show than for use. If not then let me know the year and model of your Mazda and I can look for the right fit for you.
Since you're needing to haul two kayaks I recommend the Thule Compass Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # TH890000. This carrier has a bar that can be easily adjusted using the hand knob to switch between three different configurations to fit multiple kayaks of various sizes. It has a 130lb capacity and is can mount to round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars.
I've attached a short video below so you can see this carrier in use.
