Question:

I have a 2010 Honda Odyssey and need to carry 4 kayaks and 1 sup. Do you have a product that can carry all 5 at once? Thanks

Expert Reply:

The Thule Stacker - Rooftop Multi-Kayak Carrier # TH830 is the best option for carrying 4 kayaks on the roof of your vehicle. This comes with straps for one kayak, so will need 3 more Thule Quick Draw Tie-Down Ropes w/ Ratchets and Strap Loops # TH855XT (or something similar) to secure each kayak and you will also need 3 Tie-Down Strap with buckle # 753-2030-02.

I do not see a way for you to safely add the SUP to the roof while the 4 kayaks are loaded as there will not be enough room and likely not enough weight capacity. I recommend looking into a watersports trailer such as Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with Post Style Carrier for 4 Kayaks - 400 lbs # MAL63FR. This will allow you to haul 4 kayaks behind you, instead of on the roof which may exceed your vehicles roof capacity. Then you can a rooftop carrier for the SUP such as Malone Standard Foam Block Kit for Stand-Up Paddleboards - 24" Long # MAL75VR. I attached demonstration videos.
