Expert Reply:
The Thule SUP carrier I recommend for your 2 boards is their SUP Taxi XT # TH810001. This 2-board carrier includes locks and it fits on almost any shape of roof rack bar. You can see more on this SUP carrier in the linked video.
You will need a roof rack for the SUP Taxi XT and I refer you to the linked page for roof racks that fit your 2008 Ford Edge that has a bare roof.
For a square bar rack you can use the Rhino-Rack aero bar system made of parts # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK228.
An accessory item I recommend is a simple folding step to give you an easier time of loading the boards. The Telesteps Folding Step # TE97FR is inexpensive, lightweight and comes fully assembled and when you need it simply unfold it and you have a foot of extra reach.
