I have a solution to your problem. To transport your 2 10 foot kayaks on your 2014 Honda CR-V, I recommend this following roof rack setup:

- Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Silver - 53" Long - Qty 2 # TH711400
- Evo Clamp Feet for Thule Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4 # TH710501
- Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Feet - 5108 # TH145108
- (Optional for extra security) Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450200

As far as the Thule J-Style Kayak carriers, we currently do not have any Thule-brand carriers that will allow you to transport 2 kayaks in the "J" position. However, if you are looking for a great alternative Thule option that will allow you to transport 2 kayaks on your WingBar Evo crossbars, I recommend the Thule Compass Kayak and SUP Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # TH890000. With the Compass, you will be able to transport your 2 10-foot kayaks in the vertical (post-style) position. A great feature of the Compass is that it comes with all the tie-down straps you need for 2 kayaks (4 tie-down straps and 2 pairs of bow/stern ties).
