How to put a SUP on your car by yourself - the easy way. Place a yoga mat, camping pad or towel on the ground to not only protect the board but also work as a non slip surface. Also consider adding the same material to the roof of the car to prevent scratches as you place and push the board onto the car. A similar technique can be used if your cross bars stick out over the side of the car. Rest the board on the forward (or rear) bar then lift and push up.
