Hi there,
Don’t know much about windsurf kits, so what would be the best option for carrying either 2 kayaks or 1 Kayak and 1 Windsurf Kit ?
Two sets of J-Hooks ?
I think you answered your own…
question.
A J cradle on each side. Each holding a kayak, and the wind surfer between them.
Get 78" bars

Problem is…
The roof rack (Mazda EOM) is only about 43’’.
The board is about 30’’. SO I’m really not sure there
would be enough space between the two J-racks assuming I spread them as much as possible.
The other possibility would be to squeeze the board on its side in between the two J-racks.
I would have to find a way to secure the board that way.
All I can say is if you want to play…
you got to pay !!!

Rack width
Jack is right. The width of your factory rack is irrelevant if you mount a set of proper crossbars on it. And since the cross bars on a typical factory roof rack are pretty flimsy, the use of aftermarket (or home-built) cross bars is the best plan even if you don’t need the extra width.
