how to transport surfboard?

Sorry if this is a commonly asked question, but I had a hard time finding any answers with the search.

I have a ~9.5ft longboard that I'dlike to transport back and forth with my trans am. Unfortunately, my t/a is t-topped.

Is there any way to fit a surf rack or carrying system onto the roof of the t/a? A shortboard might be able to be carried inside a t/a through the hatch and passenger side, but it seems the only way to transport a longboard is on the roof.

If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it!

Have it stick out the back of the hatch with the hatch tethered down?

I think this might work for a 6-7 foot long shortboard, but do you think it would work with a 9-10 foot longboard?

I would prefer to carry it on the roof, but I guess if the hatch method is the only option, I'll have to do that.. anybody have experience transporting their longboards with a t-top'ed f-body?

If you fold down the backseat and fold the front passenger seat forward would it lay in there?
