Just a word of warning then if your fitting brackets to the roof
surfboards mouted outside are like wings they want to take off.
The forces involved at high speeds will rip a board off if poorly secured to it.
similarly the board holding brackets on the GRP roof should secured with a spreader plate inside the roof or the risk of the bracket being ripped from the roof is increased.

I made my own from scratch using unistrut and stainless steel, the unistrut is bolted to the roof and has 6 inch square ply wood plates one for each bolt! then my j bars (stainless steel) slide into and attach to the unistrut!
