Question:

I am looking at the Aero Blade Traverse roof rack paired with the th835pro kayak carrier. According to the filtering program these racks can work on both a 2006 Mazda 3 and a 2013 Hyndai Elantra. If so can I carry 2 kayaks with 1 set of th835pro 1 set

The Thule Hull-A-Port Pro Folding J-Style Rooftop Kayak Carrier # TH834 is designed to fit one kayak. If the cross bars of your vehicles are longer than 50 inches and have the weight capacity for two kayaks you could install two of these carriers.

The Stacker by Thule # TH830 that you referenced can carry up to 4 kayaks and would be a good choice for your situation as long as the roofs of your vehicles can handle the weight of your kayaks.

You will need roof rack systems for your vehicles as well. I attached links to pages that will let you pick your vehicle style from a drop down menu and then all the available Thule roof racks will be listed there.
