ERS DUAL 9-6 S3 | Aqua Grey
The ERS DUAL 9-6 S3 is a versatile all-around board in a smaller package. It is lightweight and portable, easy to inflate, and highly maneuverable and quick on the water. It is a favorite of the more adventurous among our riding team. While it excels in surfing and whitewater, Its 31” width makes it stable but still sleek enough to be used for touring and general paddling. 5 inches of thickness give it enough volume for advanced riders up to 205lbs and novices up to 185lbs. Riders who have found the standard 10-11ft board size to ‘big’ have enthusiastically taken the reduced weight and size of the DUAL 9-6 S3. The ERS 9-6 DUAL S3 is manufactured using our Dual Thermal Laminate and the ERS X9 construction method.
INCLUDES DELUXE ROLLING BACKPACK + DUAL ACTION PUMP + DUAL NEPTUNE FIN PACK

The Ultimate Inflatable SUP for Adventure - Ride Everywhere
The DUAL 9-6 S3 NEPTUNE is a ride like no other. The slightly reduced size and weight give it and incredibly fast turning arc but maintains the stability that our all round boards are renowned for. It holds it own with the 10-0 in moving water yet maintains the stability of our 10-9 boards for smaller riders. Run a single short center fin to keep the tail loose when surfing and switch it up to a longer fin when paddling flatwater. Add side fins to increase hold and stability and you have a board that really has no equal in versatility.

DUAL S3
As a relative SUP beginner with a very petite frame (5'0”, 100 lbs), but one who has been fortunate to rent boards in many conditions (the Gulf of Mexico, lakes, rivers), I searched long and hard for a board that didn't feel oversized, that could adapt to any condition I chose to ride it on, and that could still have room for both my gear and my kids to ride with me. I also debated whether or not an inflatable board would be a good choice, but opted to go the inflatable route for ease of traveling with it.
The ERS DUAL 9-6 S3, with its changeable fins, narrower width, and thinner height, was perfect for me! I love how easily it stows away, but also how easily I can bring it anywhere. My inaugural float also confirmed that I chose the right board, as I’ve never felt more comfortable on a board, and I've never had a board be so responsive to my paddle. My kids loved learning how to paddle on it as well, and I’ve got my long list of places I want to take it. I also know that because it’s built for more experienced riders, it has the construction to support my growth in the sport. I love this board!

I have loved paddle boarding since I discovered it at camp around 10 years ago. Asking for my own SUP was like asking for a pony. After many years I finally earned my Earth River Sup, and I absolutely love it. Over the years I began to understand what kind of sup I wanted. I have used ERS, ULI, and NRS boards. I knew, based on my stature, I would need something smaller, light enough to carry, and durable enough for both personal and camp use, as well as and something that could handle both rapids and flat water. As an added bonus I can even fit my board in my car, my compact Honda HRV!! This is perfect because I don’t have to tie it to my car, buy a hitch, or even use a roof rack. All I do is put down the back seats down, and lean the front seat back, and I am good to go! The ERS V3 9’6 has given me easy use on both flat and moving water. The V3 is nimble enough to run the low rapids at camp, navigating through tight spaces easily, while giving me the flexibility to turn my sup around and help my campers to navigate those same tight spaces. The board had enough sturdiness to go easily from knees to feet and even to a headstand. This board has met every expectation I have created over the years. The interchangeable fins make my job at camp so much easier. I can worry about my campers not my fins. It allows me the option to go back to long fins when I’m away from camp. With the board itself being awesome it also looks awesome! Its sleek and cool, and the graphics are awesome. All my campers always request the blue board before I tell them it is actually mine not the camps. I am so excited to continue to use the board I have always dreamed of having! It was totally worth the wait.
We bought the smaller 9-6 S3 Neptune Blue Paddle Board for my pre-teen daughter who is is and always be small to paddle with me. Great father - daughter adventures on the local lake exploring nature and swimming in the summer. The versatility of the of this board also allows us to occasionally use it in the ocean. My daughter loves the color of the Neptune Blue board. It is a very stable board. Very easy to transport in trunk and inflate with ERS electric pump.

I use it to shred the rivers in Idaho. I love it because it chills me out and is insanely fun. This board is very stable and rides great. I’m a beginner and felt very comfortable on it. It transports easily, is very durable and super duper fun to float around on. I love being on it while getting sun burned and wet. I chose this brand because if their great reputation and well constructed product. Can’t wait to rip it for many years to come.

Enhanced Dynamic Rail (EDRTM)
The next generation in advanced rail technology. The Enhanced Dynamic Rail is built right into every Earth River SUP SKYLAKE board. The EDR is designed to enhance the ERS experience in active / moving water environments such as surf, rapids or rougher water to give you a better paddling experience. Riders apply force at a multiplier of their body weight when leveraging turns / making adjustments in rough water and the EDR provides resistance when you need it – without affecting the glide of the board on flat water or carrying weight when you are off it.
