Can you use this while carrying a paddleboard on top of the vehicle?

I believe yes you can, cause in my case i have a range rover and bikes never cross up the roof line.

You would have to configure horizontal bars (a set of two) spaced enough apart to ensure stability of the kayak you are carrying. I don't know the length of your cab, so I can't tell whether you'll have enough room for front and rear mounts, assuming you already have the cross bars. hope this helps, let me know if you need more instruction, then I will give you an email address to contact me at.

I think it would be fine. My kayak is fairly flat bottomed. The dolly needs to be on the center of whatever you are pulling and it needs to be strapped tight.

I don't own a SUP board, and have only used mine for kayaks, but I don't see any reason why the Stacker wouldn't work for SUP boards. I'd suggest padding the cross members on your roof rack and would think your boards would be able to strapped onto the Stacker securely. Good luck.

I don't think this one would work well for that because it folds up. When you go to slide the kayak across it, it would fold up on you. I've had it happen when I'm loading my kayak on it. I have to place the kayak on it, not slide it across.

As long as you have an extra strap to keep the wheels directly under the canoe. Using just the one strap is very awkward and doesn't really provide stability.

I have! I use it for kayaks, paddle boards, and a sailboard, and I honestly haven't had any problem at all. Either pull the foam all the way over the corners of the frame to give it more grip or lay a folded yoga towel (my wife's idea) across the frame and make sure to bungee fairly tightly when you use it for the boards. Also place the frame about 2/3rds back and lift the front of the board, it won't work very well if you try to place the frame in the center of the board. Hope that helps!

It looks like you could. You might be cautious about carrying it by the handle with the extra weight, though.

I doubt if you can - The short arms on the botton are VERY short. Doubt that they could hold/balance a box (Barely balance an awkward Kayak).

I used it all last summer and transported it like you suggest, righside up. I have an Ocean kayak tandem sit on top kayak. There is no way I could transport on its side. It works great. Because my kayak is larger than most I have to use different straps than what came with the kit. Another thing to know is that it is designed to mount on after market crossbars not factory roof racks. I modified the mounts with u bolts to fit on my Jeep Commander roof rack.

There are available a flat and a slightly convex mounting plate which would probably work ok. The problem would be that it would only be about 2 inches above the board unless you made some kind of custom fixture to raise it. And of course, you'd have to use the waterproof case. You might be better off using a chest strap mount or head strap mount.

I don't know if you can carry snow boards from experience. I would say that if you can ties a snowboard to a standard bar rack than you can tie it to this rack. A snowboard is way under the maximum weight. A snowboard doesn't catch much wind. I don't see why it wouldn't work.The cost is low enough that it can't be much of a mistake if it doesn't work the way you hoped.

I think it would be fine. I use it on my Prius. As long as the weight of the surfboard or paddleboard isn't too heavy. My paddle board weighs 26lbs and it's no problem.

Yes. We use ours to carry two sit-on-top kayaks. We carry them upside down with the stern forward. They are secured by two flat straps with camlocks for each kayak - one on the front rack and one on the rear. The straps form a loop from the underside of the rack in the middle of the rack up over one kayak then under the rack on the outer edge (but behind the vertical support) with the camlock up high on the side of the kayak and the strap pulled as tight as possible. We bought the racks for this purpose and have been very pleased with them. The guys at Wind and Wave in Corpus Christi TX showed us how to strap them down. Never had any problem. Yes.

Yes you can. I have used the paddle on mine a number of times in civilian clothes.

The kayak shouldn't be a problem. When I use the loader, I carry a step stool with me to get to the top of my Forester. Only challenge I can see might be getting the kayak back on the carrier when it's on the roof, but it's only a small move.

They could if you keep it all somewhere well out of the way. It wouldn't take much to knock the paddle board and these stands over. There might be better ways for you to store your board....given where you may want to store it.
