Trunk extending options to inflate a SUP/Kayak

[djsider2]

I'm wondering if anyone here has come up with a way to have an extended space from the rear of R1S? I would primarily want to inflate a long piece of water sport equipment there without having to use the ground behind or to the side of vehicle (which is not always available in tight parking lots).

I was thinking maybe two saw horses and a plank? Let me know what other ideas to consider.

Cargo bars on the roof, throw it up there and inflate with an electric pump? I can see where a crowded parking lot could be a problem

Afraid of taking that 15ft long 40 lb item off of the crossbars... that would create another set of problems with getting the humans in good positions.

Although I did consider pre-inflating it and putting it up there. R1S is longer by a few inches.

Can you inflate them vertically? On an incline? Throw protection on the pavement, and let it partly rest on that during inflation? Yeah, I don’t like lifting bikes off a roof rack.

My vote is for one of these and a plank.
