Can two kayaks and a paddle board fit on the roof of a car?
Hi. I just purchased two kayaks (the kind you sit on top of not inside of) at the spur of the moment last year and my family loves them. We were considering getting a (stand-up) paddle board as well but we wanted to make sure we could fit it on the roof along with the two kayaks. We use the J hooks for the kayaks on top of a Honda minivan.
Would this work? If so, how?
You might want to consider replacing one of the j-racks with a straight up and down mounting bar like the Thule stackers. You could mount a kayak on one side and the paddle board in the middle between the two kayaks. Or, if you can slide the j-racks you have far enough apart you might be able to wedge the paddleboard between the boats. It could be hard to secure it in place though. I hope you are adding bow and stern lines to the boats and securing them to the front and rear bumpers of the car in addition to securing them with straps to the rack. It is never safe to rely on straps alone to secure kayaks on a roof rack, even for short trips.
- What's the home button on the roof of my car? My car is Honda 2001 EX, I saw a button which is "home icon" on the roof, but I had no idea what's it for, when I pressed it, the red light blinked once and nothing happened.
- How to tie lumber to the roof of my car? I have a honda odyssey, which is about 16 feet, 10 inches long. I want to transport 2 pieces of 16 foot long, 2" x 12" lumber. What is the safest way to secure these to the roof of my car? I can take back roads to and from the lumber storage place, so I will drive very slowly.
