Expert Reply:
If your 2017 Mazda 6 Sedan features a naked roof (no existing factory rails or crossbars), I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Roof Rack System. This system consists of # RRVA126B-2 for the two 49 inch Aero Crossbars, # RRRLKVA for the 2500 Series Legs, and # DK387 for the Custom DK Fit Kit. This will provide you with a sleek, aerodynamic roof rack that sports a 165 pound weight capacity.
I have attached a short video demonstration on this system that you can also take a look at.
The, if you are still needing a paddle board carrier, I recommend looking at the Lockrack Adjustable XL Watersport Carrier # LR54FR. This is a really nice paddleboard carrier that will allow you to secure up to 2 boards on the roof rack. The soft padding on the unit protects your boards from getting scratched.
I have attached a demonstration video on this carrier, along with the written installation instructions for you to check out.
