Thule is what I use on my Honda Accord, excellent quality though it’s a little pricey upfront. However… keep in mind that you can sell the parts on ebay for a decent amount when you are eventually done with them.

Use the Thule site to figure out what you need and be sure to write down the part numbers. Then use google to find shops that sell the products, you should be able to get it for about 20% off of MSRP. Or check ebay.
For the base system which will give you four feet firmly attached to your roof with two heavy-duty bars going across, you are looking at an MSRP of $279 (load bars, aero foot, fit kit, part numbers LB50, 400xt, and 166). Add $69 for a six-pack of locks (part number 596). Then add $60 for a surfboard carrier (Hang Two Surf Carrier, part number 554XT) and maybe $26 for sailboard pads? (not sure if you would need them). And about $125 for a bike carrier, there are many to choose from.
So, an MSRP of the mid $500’s.
When I bought my system for my Accord in ’99, I paid about $340 for the base system plus six locks and a luggage carrier and a bungee-cord net. Now that same setup would run about $480. Back then bike carriers ran about $65 to $85 but I didn’t buy one.
As Eddie mentioned, Yakima is also a good brand, check them out too. The main difference is that Yakima has round cross-bars, Thule has square cross-bars. They have a great reputation but I don't know anything about their prices.
