Expert Reply:
Although the Thule system you referenced would work well, in my opinion the clamp system used by the Rhino Rack Roof Rack is a bit more substantial, and would get a better grip on the rain rain gutter.
You can install a Rhino Rack Roof Rack by using the following parts:
Heavy Duty Crossbars, part # RB1650B-2 for Black or # RB1650 for Silver
Gutter Mount Legs, part # RRRL150GMC
Rhino Rack also offers a padded board carrier, part # RRRWP03.
