Expert Reply:
For your 2020 Mazda CX-5 with raised roof rails the roof rack I recommend is the Malone rack # MPG215 which easily installs and gives you an aerodynamically shaped bars which will minimize wind noise.
Then for a kayak carrier we have the Yakima JayLow # Y04073 is a really great solution. It can be used as a single J-style carrier or can carry 2 kayaks in the upright setting. I attached a review video for more info for you to check out as well.
