ERS SKYLAKE 9-6 S3 | Green


The SKYLAKE 9-6 S3 GREEN is an outstanding stand up paddle board that keeps it compact and light, while staying rugged and sturdy.  It's quick to turn, will take any type of water you throw at it, and rides with a balance unlike many smaller boards due to its solid 31" width. The SKYLAKE 9-6 S3 GREEN is great for smaller riders who want something that fits better with their height and weight - or - for riders looking for a challenge and fast turning in more difficult water.  An incredibly fun shorter board that will keep every session interesting.

Design and Shape

LENGTH - 9'6" / WIDTH - 31" / THICKNESS - 5" / WEIGHT - 18LB / RIDER WEIGHT - Up to 185LB (205LB for advanced riders)

PERFECT FOR: Lighter riders, air travel, paddle surfing, and whitewater or any other pursuit where class leading maneuverability, and light weight are valued.

ERS SKYLAKE GREEN

The Inflatable SUP That Excels At It All - While Staying Compact and Light

If you can think of it, the ERS 9-6 SKYLAKE GREEN can do it. Built with our Fused Laminate Construction from the core DNA of our most popular lighter rider shape since 2012. It's tough and ready for light rapids, waves, and casual SUP use, and weighs next to nothing - bring it on. A permanent thruster fin setup keeps the SKYLAKE 9-6 S3 GREEN ready to go at a moments notice.

I love my SUP, especially the portability of it. I have taken it on road trips to meet friends to paddle the French Broad River in NC, and to WV to paddle the Tygart River and the Monongahela River. I am going on a few road trips this summer (central WV rivers and Knoxville, TN) and will have my SUP packed. I like the lightness of the SUP and the ability to take it on small rapids without worrying about fins getting in the way. As I was recently packing up my SUP for an upcoming road trip, I noted how relieved I am to have an inflatable SUP made of quality material that I can rely on when I get to my destination.

We love our ERS boards so much we bought three. SUP gets the family on the water, keeps us in shape and active. The kids and dog thrive on them and often go paddling around Deltaville any given weekend. We love them because we pack them up and bring them anywhere and then when we are done roll them up again and move on to the next destination. We've ridden them all over the East Coast. It even inspired us to create a SUP app for the Apple Watch and iPhone.

I love my board (both of them). I use the shorter of the two (9'6) for going down the Snake River in Wyoming and Teton River in Idaho and I use larger for doing paddle yoga on Slide Lake. They have both been great purchases and my friends like to use them too.

Permanent Unbreakable Fins

Originally designed to withstand the rigors of SUP instruction schools and rental programs,  we studied different options in shape and memory plastic composition over the years to arrive at the ultimate in permanent fins. If you hit rocks or shallows you won't damage your fin box or break,  lose, or forget a fin -  you can just get straight on the water.  The 4.5" thruster set provides great speed with fast turning, and minimal drag. You can paddle in the shallows of a creek or inlet - all the way to the coast - and everything in between.

Ultragrip Deck Pad

Grip you can trust in the toughest conditions. We've worked at refining a rubber compound to produce a stronger, higher density and up to 40% thicker deck pad than other well known high end SUP brands. In addition to its traction advantages we have kept the compound light so as to avoid adding unnecessary weight to our boards. The UltraGrip diamond structure works by channeling water to increase dry surface contact. It's incredibly comfortable to stand on even for hours on end and will perform every time, in any type of water.  Providing exceptional comfort and grip, partnered with a removable neoprene handle it creates a clutter free flat surface that is great for all SUP activities.

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.

X9 Construction

ERS is known for the best performance and reliability and in the industry, which starts with superior board construction. The X9 method using SKYLAKE Fused Laminate creates a permanently sealed board outline that is fused during fabrication to create a rigid structure without requiring high inflation pressure or excessive volume. ERS SUP boards are hand built one board at a time by skilled technicians under ISO9001 manufacturing certification to ensure consistent and repeatable processes and attention to detail in each individual board. The result is a board with better glide, unmatched rigidity, and proven longevity.
