• Will the Thule Top Deck Kayak Carrier Fit a 2 Inch Round Bar and Carry Wake Boards
• The mounting feet on the Thule Top Deck carrier are wide enough for a 2 inch diameter round bar but you will most likely need longer bolts to secure the feet to a 2 inch round bar. The best option is going to be the Thule SUP carrier # TH810. It has a strap that will fit around a 2 inch bar and you can lock it to the 2 inch bar and the wake boards to the carrier.

• Will the Thule Surfboard Carrier # TH809 Fit a 2 Inch Round Bars
• For your wake boards, I recommend the Thule SUP carrier, # TH810, because it allows you to carry a board that is up to 34 inches wide whereas the Surfboard carrier # TH809 only goes up to 26 inches wide. But if 26 inches is enough then it would be a good choice also. The SUP carrier also comes with locks. Locks would have to be added to the surfboard carrier using a lock core pack like # TH544. Either one of these carriers has mounting feet that will fit around a 2 inch round bar. Though desi

• Can a Canoe be Carried on the Roof of a 1998 Honda Prelude
• To carry a canoe on a vehicle that does not have roof rack you can use a universal foam block carrier, # Y04055. The roof on a 1998 Honda Prelude is pretty short and if your canoe is long then there may be too much front and back overhang to carry the canoe safely. You will also need to check the weight capacity of the roof to determine if it can support the canoe. This information may be located in the owners manual.
