By Abigail Scott
I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Might be a stupid question but can I use this for a 9"2" longboard? Not an expert, but see no reason why not. Securing might be different than with kayak, but buckle straps are certainly flexible.
How much weight can this J-bar carry? Constructed from sturdy steel to hold heavier boats - Water-resistant so it will prevent rusting and hold up against rain, snow, and other elements - Even though the J-Bar mount is made from steel, it’s lightweight which makes it easy to install and remove
Can you use them with just parallel bars instead of cross bars? The base doesn't pivot, so I think they can only be used with cross bars.
Will fit on my 2009 RAV4 roof racks? Yes, this is compatible with a 2009 RAV4.
