What Do You Recommend for Transporting a Tribe 13.5 Kayak with a SUP on a 2018 Honda Odyssey?

Question:

I’d really like to carry my 79-pound tribe 13.5 kayak and SUP on my factory 2018 odyssey crossbars/rails. Any thoughts on getting them to work together?

For a solution that will allow you to carry your 79-pound Tribe 13.5 Kayak simultaneously with your SUP on your 2018 Honda Odyssey with raised factory rails, I recommend the following parts:

- Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier - Fixed - Universal Mount # S510
- Inno Board Locker Surfboard Carrier - Locking - Clamp On - 3 Shortboards or 2 Longboards # INA744
- Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails - Aluminum - 65" Long # MPG217

The Rhino-Rack J-Style carrier will hold your Tribe 13.5 kayak while the Inno Board Locker will hold your SUP (up to 23-1/2 inches wide). Since the Tribe will secure to the J-Style Carrier on its side, it will allow there to be enough space on the 65-inch long Malone AirFlow 2 crossbars. I included the video of how you should attach the J-Style Carrier to the crossbars in order to have enough room to accommodate the Board Locker.
