In order to carry surfboards and snowboards on a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek you'll first need to start with a roof rack, the most popular option due to the price is the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack part # MPG216 and it's hard to argue against this option. It features a clamp-on easy install, has aero shaped bars which provides the least about of wind noise, and it has locks for security. In order to secure your gear, I recommend the Inno Board Locker Surfboard Carrier part # INA744 for your surfboards and the Inno Gravity Ski and Snowboard Carrier part # INA951 for your skis. These options are both locking so you don't have to worry about theft and they also work great with the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack.
