Transporting paddle boards on roof of T6

[Sarah O'Disco]

Hi, we have 2 paddle boards that need transporting on our T6 Beach roof. Any ideas of best way to do this? We have rails but nothing else so far.

If you do a search for "canoe" and "kayak" there's lots of posts that will help.

What is a paddle board constructed of? For kayaks I simply used straps and fixed them firmly

Thule is always a good place to start

Ta! Handy to see you can have board on while the roof is up. Is there a weight limit in what you can put on there with the roof up?

50 kg max weight on the pop top.

Just fitted my aero bars with Thule 753 pack feet. Neet look which now matches my bike rack. Now I can fit my top box and hopefully very soon a kayak. Ready for the holidays!!

Also it's a good idea to keep the board as central as possible to keep weight distributed evenly on the roof struts when up. Keeps it out the way!
