Starting with the roof rack for your 2019 Honda Civic Hatchback I highly recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex system that consists of # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA for the 2500 Series Legs, and # DK485 for the Custom Fit Kit. I really like the Vortex roof racks because they match up in quality to the higher-end systems but do so at a much friendlier price point.
The two aluminum aerodynamic bars will provide you with a really quiet ride during travel along and have a robust 165 pound weight capacity. I have attached an installation video on this rack that you can also check out.
Then for a kayak carrier that will work great with this roof rack I really like the etrailer.com # E98878. This is a high-quality J-style carrier that features padded bases and arm cushions to protect your kayak and a weight capacity of 150 pounds. A great thing about this particular unit is that it includes all the necessary tie-down straps and anchors to secure the kayak into place.
I have attached a video demonstration on this carrier that you can take a look at as well.
