Packasport makes a similar fiberglass box, but they are not made to
have a board strapped to the top of them, and they open like a
clamshell. Ditto Yakima and Thule which make plastic boxes.
On a Peugot,I doubt you have enough room for a box on one side, and
the boards on the other.
The Packasport make not be specifically designed for carrying boards on
top, however it's no problemo...
Here is one that carried boards 6 hours off road in the Baja:

Our System 90 has made many trips off road and back:

So no worries on the casual 1 1/2 hour jaunt to the lake:

The boards are Hyper 105, Hyper 125, Carve 121, and Carve 131...
A waveboard and a FreeRide should work with wider racks...
Boards can also be arranged to ride sideways like this shot, again deep
in the Baja...

QUIVERRACK is a fiberglass box, that opens via a door on the end, or
the side, and has the ability to have boards strapped on top of it.
It is made in UK, and so very expensive once shipped to N.A. (only
$650 to 800 euros in UK, however, which is very fair price for the
quality).
If only they would send them over by the cargo container, the price
would be much better here.
Their largest version has not been made for long, and thus is not easy
to find used.
The original ones are too small (no 460 masts will fit), the medium
are good for high wind kit, and you need the XL if you want to dit a
490 mast.
They are good, well made product. The door on the end makes it easy
to lose items in the back. The side door is prefereable to most, I
think.

GORGE RAX (rusting steel) or Cape Cod Racks (stainless steel) are
ladder racks that let you stack boards on the car, and remove the
middle board. You can use these with a mast/sail bag, but a cargo box
allows more security as you can lock the booms, sails, etc. in the
box.
There is one more fiberglass box that I know of, made in Quebec, that
is lke a Packasport, but is designed to have boards strapped on top.
I don't recall the name, but a Montreal wsurf shop should know.

any advice on roof aracks appreciated.
Got a peugeot 306, and need to accomodate one wave board, one freeride board
and four sails two masts two booms and the rest of the gear - out side my
car!!! Quiverack has been suggested - are they any good, look quite expensive -
are there alternatives???
