Roof Rack, Kayak Carrier and Paddleboard Carrier Recommendation for 2011 Ford Edge with Naked Roof

Question:

We have a 10.5 foot long kayak and 11 foot long paddleboard. We just bought a 2011 Ford edge and wonder what rack, if any, could hold both of those.

Do you have crossbars on your roof already that run from left to right? Or what does you roof look like now? I can see what would be best option from there.

First thing you'll need to install on your 2011 Ford Edge with a naked roof is a set of crossbars that you can mount carriers for the paddleboard and kayak. For that the best value is the Inno Square bar roof rack part numbers # INB137, # INSUT, and # INK759 which is a confirmed fit and gives you 54 inch bars for the carriers to attach to since you'll need plenty of room.

Then for the paddleboard carrier you could use the part # 339LRSSUPSETA and a j-style kayak carrier like the # TH834 and you'd be set. The j-style kayak carriers allow you to maximize the bar space since the kayak is carried on end.
