Or perhaps fabricate one like yours and of course only carry the toys occasionally.

That screams "Trailer" to me
An enclosed trailer would offer additional protection for your gear and can be aerodynamically shaped.
Buying a vehicle to suit occasional requirements, means people usually buy an oversized vehicle that doesn't really suit their everyday driving.
Transporting Kayaks, bikes, boards externally is a killer for fuel economy.
Transporting them internally means an unefficient huge vehicle is needed.
