Hello Carlos, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the Yakima ShowDown Kayak or SUP Roof Rack # Y04081 will work with the Thule Xsporter Pro crossbars. The maximum crossbar width for the Yakima rack is 3-1/2" and the Xsporter Pro crossbars are exactly 3-1/2" wide so they will work together great.

Hey Carlos, how did the Yakima ShowDown work out with your Thule Xsporter Pro rack? It sounds like the fit should have been spot-on with those 3.5-inch crossbars. Your update could make it easier for others setting up the same combo.
