Will a kayak that is 38" wide fit on the bottom rack?

Only at a steep angle, it will not sit flat on its bottom or on its side. Would not recommend for a kayak that wide.

Yes but you will have to tilt it at a angle. I have a 14' kayak on the bottom and a 11' on top. Love the rack!

I have a 15 foot tandem that is about that width. It sits on the bottom on its side but I had to jam some foam under it. I put a canoe on top. It definitely isnt pretty but it was cheap and simple. In general i think this stand is best suited for single seaters.

I drove a 9' longboard in it's daybag across the US, so yes, as long as the bag isn't wider than rack's bars (probably anything but a SUP will fit)

It might work, but I wouldn't recommend it. The canoe height (when on water) is much greater than a kayak and therefore it would overhang the base of the rack significantly. You would probably also need longer straps to go around a canoe instead of a kayak. I'd recommend the Thule canoe rack (http://www.amazon.com/Thule-579XT-Canoe-Mount-Carrier/dp/B0001HAC4Q) or just foam blocks. A Thule saddle carrier might also be a good option if you want one rack to carry a canoe or kayak.

I've only used it for a kayak rack, but it was a tight fit. All i can say is you'll need a different bike rack, or maybe you can get a longer ubolt that fits the rack at a hardware store.

I have mine set up to hold two kayaks so they are at the maximum height which is five feet. The top kayak extends about 3" above the top of the racks. They are very well built and work great, I highly recommend.

I have two SUP ATX beginner boards mounted with no problem. Those are 32" wide.

My wife put 2 picnic table kits from Home Depot in a safari basket mounted on top of these. I think they should support your kayak!

I would say yes. The clamp is a relatively basic bracket with two bolts that hold the base of each kayak carrier to a lower plate with two holes. Two hand tightened bolts clamp the lower plate on either side of your roof rack crossbar to hold each carrier in place. There are two options for the lower plate--one flat and one to fit round crossbars. It should fit pretty much any bar, but will probably not be contoured exactly to your crossbar.

Fits crossbars that are up to 3-1/2" wide and 2" thick and will accept kayaks up to 3 feet wide and weighing up to 75 pounds

Yes they will fit side by side. I have a suburban and put a 15 foot ocean kayak and a 13 foot native kayak on top with no problems

Fits crossbars that are up to 3-1/2" wide and up to 2 1/2" high and will accept kayaks up to 3 feet wide and weighing up to 75 pounds. Car racks that go from drivers side to passengers side.

Yes, My husband just measured it and said that it will work! These are working great for us. My grandson and I can load/unload kayak with ease.

I think so. I have the Ocean Kayak Trident 13 which is 13'6" and I have no problem with it at all. It doesn't flex and it holds the kayak very securely. The straps which are riveted to the sides of the cart are long and wrap around the kayak so that you can make it as tight as you like. The best part is the cotter pin that attached the wheels. Basically, you just pull our the pin and the wheels slide of the axel. The frame and wheels fit easily into the front hatch on the OK so you can carry the cart around with you if you don't feel like walking back to the car.

Not sure why it wouldn't. We only have kayaks and this rack works great! Might have to get longer tie downs to compensate for the extra width of your SUP.

Most likely. This unit is pretty versatile. My rack is 3 inches wide and it can go up to 4.5 or as little as 2inches. They supply several different length bolts to accomodate different makes

We too have a wide heavy kayak...we tried rack but since our vehicle had unique existing roof bars, this unit wasn't ideal and we ended up going the more traditional folding J mounts.

I'm not sure. I bought it for my surfboards. They are 9 feet and 8 feet. The straps are pretty wide. I imagine it would be fine but I'm not an expert on the kayak situation.
