PERFORMANCE BOARD OF THE YEAR 2018 AND 2019 - I found the rocker in the nose to be more than substantial when I hit a few rapids and the rigid walls kept me feeling strong and stable as I moved this way and that. Earth River SUP did a fantastic job at designing this SUP as I found no flex whatsoever at 15 PSI. I would even go as far as saying I enjoyed less thickness because it was nice to be closer to the water but not worrying about sinking as the board still felt very rigid! - This is one of those boards that is an extremely viable option for beginners as far as use goes and also value. But you also won’t outgrow your board as your skills advance. It’s the kind of SUP that keeps giving.

I love my 10-7 Skylake Blue. I tell everyone who doesn't paddleboard that they should start and to check out ERS SUP boards. My board is light enough I can haul it anywhere, its stable enough that I can do yoga, take both my crazy dogs out, and paddle moving or flat water. Paddleboarding is hands down my favorite summertime hobby. ERS SUP has impressed me with their quality, attention to detail, and customer service. I was looking for a company whose designer's and engineer's use their own products and constantly make improvements. Here is a picture of me taking my dog Kawi out on Lake Nighthorse in Durango, CO for the first time. We were both getting our sea legs but I love the pure joy in the photo. It took her a while to realize that my paddleboard wasn't a diving board but she's a pro now!

A dramatic improvement in performance over my 6 inch thick ISUP. It is exceptionally stiff for an ISUP and very responsive to subtle shifting of weight to assist in steering. I think this known as carving I really love this thing and am glad that I got it a few weeks ago. Picture is of me, an old fat guy paddle boarding off beach in Oxford, MD. Company great to work with -- sent me a new side fin after I lost my first one, due to my sheer negligence, on maiden voyage. ERS has probably the best SUP web site that I have ever seen. It's instructional videos are first rate.

I bought the SUP for my husband as a Father’s Day gift. Best gift ever!! He’s already ridden it on Nakote Creek, Patcong Creek, Bargaintown Lake and Great Bay! He’s had the kids on it, and our dog! It’s a true family gift. Our 15 year old son has used it multiple times as well. Next up...ocean! We live the easily adjustable fins as they allow easy transition for conditions.

My wife and I have a small condo near our grandchildren.. We love doing things with them and bribing them out into nature is one of those things. Having the ability to have a SUP that we can store in our laundry closet, put in the back of our mini cooper. Once at our destination we have them pumped up and ready to go withing 20 mins. The only thing i notice with the inflatable SUP vs the fiberglass ones we've rented is that I'm a little higher in the water. They are awesome!

I love my earth river stand up paddleboard! I get to take it to the dam six minutes from my house and ride in the mornings before I go to work. My golden doodle loves joining me. Even my 78-year-old mother got up on the board and paddled around for a while. My best memory is mastering triangle pose on my board.

The ERS Board brings my family and friends together. We enjoy exploring the outdoors and our time together. It has provided me with an opportunity to improve my physical fitness and balance while being outside and investigating nature’s beauty. I choose the ERS SUP board due to its durability and ease of use with the (electric 12VDC) pump. It also provides me with multiple fin options as I learn and try new locations with SUP. The board is big enough to fit my daughter, the dog and a friend but still fits into a bag that I can manage putting in and out of my vehicle. The price to value ratio on ERS board is high and would recommend it to family and friends.

Love paddling my ERS on the San Joaquin River, local reservoirs, or high mountain lakes on these hot summer days! Great way to cool off with the kids, friends, and spouse. The semi flexible fins are great when some of us have a hard time avoiding rocks! It’s great to be able to fit the family gear and paddle boards inside the car when we head out on an adventure.

This is the first paddle board I have used so I don't have others to compare it to. However, after doing a lot of looking online and checking out reviews I was confident this was a quality product. The board is as good (if not better) than what I was expecting. One of my buddies couldn't believe that an inflatable board would be capable of holding someone up like that but I was happy to show he was wrong. The board is great for everything I do with it. The first time we put it in the water was when we rented a house boat on Lake Cumberland. That was the perfect time to have a great board like the Earth River SUP. Everyone had a great time using it as a paddle board or just as something to float on around the back of the boat when we were just relaxing. I have also had it out in a couple different reservoirs and rivers here in OH and it does great. I love being able to pack it up into my little Toyota Corolla but still have a great board to use when I get there.

When I decided to buy a SUP, I knew I wanted a high quality board that was inflatable for easy transport...that's why I chose an ERS SUP board. The Skylake Blue is a great looking board and I like the soft, non-slip surface...great on the feet! I love paddling in the lakes of Idaho!

My wife Pia and I use our Earth River 10'7 Sup on the beautiful calm blue Caribbean waters of Nazareth Bay St. Thomas USVI. We spend the day circling the sailboats, spotting fish in the clear waters and even venturing out into the rougher seas! The board is very responsive and stability is great. It looks far superior to other Sup's we encounter. Our only complaint is we only own one and have to share.

I got the ERS Blue 10.7 for my 50th birthday. I'm fit and athletic and have paddled kayaks on and off for many years but am fairly new to SUP and surfing. I enjoy the challenge of balance sports and I wanted a board that I could use for flat water, river boarding and surfing (both rivers and small ocean). My board also had to travel internationally so an ISUP was all-important. My dual nationality family commutes between the US and New Zealand every 6 months and I wanted to take the board with us. I've paddled the board on lakes and most excitingly, down rivers like the A section of the Green river in Utah, the Gates of Ladore on the Green/Yampa and the wild and scenic 45 mile section of the Rogue river in Oregon. I've also surfed on the South and East Coasts of the South Island, New Zealand. The board is easy to travel with (I've moved it to a smaller bag). It takes me less than 10 minutes to set up with the hand pump. Less to pack up.

Despite being relatively new to the sport, the learning curve has been fast and I'm now able to surf small ocean and river waves with ease and remain standing on most grade 2 river rapids without fear (as long as the water is deep and I'm wearing a helmet). The versatile fin set up gives me options. I mostly use the smaller main fin with the side fins but if I'm planning a straight mission on flat water, I'll use the long main fin. I feel massively stable on this board (at 5.6' and 130lbs) and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile and portable board for lots of different uses. I can't remember if I went for the paddle upgrade or not but my paddle has been easy to use with no flex issues. I've paddled a fair few hard SUP's of around the same length and width and the performance of my ERS ISUP is not inferior to those boards.
