Paddle Board transport question

Hey fellas, Hope you're all doing well! We just got a new paddle board and was wondering if anyone else has one and how you transport it. Got it from Sams and its a 10' 6" long 31" wide soft board. We have a new Tundra crewmax TRD but the bed is only 5 1/2ft. It has a naked roof and I don't really want to drill and holes in the bed to mount anything permanent. Thinking about a roof rack but wanted your opinions.
Been busy lately but opened up the V and fired it up the other day. Started right up and ran great. Got a complete water pump ordered for the outdrive, should be in tomorrow. Got 4 days off, gonna do my yearly maintenance on the boat. Buffing, wax, oil and fuel filter change and should be good to go. Cant believe the Boneshaker is 40 years old this year! Love this old boat!
 
My daughter has a sup and carries it on here Ford Edge. She has a rack made by Thule . Before she got the rack, we took some ratchet straps and a pool noodle cut in half and strapped it to the top. I've also seen them on kayak racks that fit in your hitch receiver.
 
I bought a harbor freight ladder rack for my truck to haul a 16 ft canoe. I think they are $299 and then u can use a 20 % off coupon. THey are adjustable to fit any truck. Biggest problem is the rear cross support does not come off. After u hit your head getting in the bed a couple times u will remember its there.
 
Thanks! Ive seen some good options. Id like something I can take off when I'm not using. Some of the roof racks are really pricey!
 
The big ladder rack comes with J bolts to hold it on if u don't want to drill holes in the top of bed. it will unbolt easy but would take a couple people to lift it to make sure u don't scratch the truck. I wouldn't want to take it on and off a lot. not sure about the smaller rack.
