I've had a blast riding the 9'6 Skylake Green in Italy, Spain, The Netherlands, and Belgium over the last year. It's my go to board for exploring the rivers and lakes of Europe. It easily fits in my car, and I'm able to check the board in on a flight with plenty of room to stash my extra gear in the board bag. It’s maneuverable and great for teaching paddlers that are developing their strokes, but also fun for recreational paddling, playing around, and doing tail drops. The board is super easy to portage with since it’s so lightweight, and even though the neoprene handle is removable, I find it doesn’t get in my way when adjusting my stance or walking the board.

This my go to fun board in all conditions. I can surf whitewater, run whitewater and then take it on flat water and have just as much fun. This board is so light I can take it anywhere inflated or deflated. It also has enough volume for me to put any load I need for teaching on the front. Teaching takes a toll on these boards, but all ERS boards can take a beating and keep riding like new.

This board is beautifully simple. Its very lightweight and quick to set up. Easier for smaller riders to handle in and out of the water. It’s also a good choice for traveling with if you need to pack light, but still want a versatile board.

I like a shorter board on flatwater as it challenges my core and balance for a workout. It is a light board and surprisingly fast which makes it perfect for catching small waves successfully in the ocean.

We’ve been loving the Earth River Skylake boards for a while. Although a little higher priced, they are well made, easy to paddle and very responsive in different conditions. We’ve spent the most time on the smaller 9’6” model. This board is ideal for those who want to tackle some surf or even a little whitewater river action yet have a smaller responsive board that will glide well when cruising around on bays and lakes.

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.

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.
ENHANCED DYNAMIC RAIL™
The next generation in advanced rail technology. The Enhanced Dynamic Rail™ is built right into every Earth River SUP V3 board. There are no unwieldily rail rods to fit and carry each session, no extra weight from excessive PVC layers or ineffective ‘carbon’ layered rail tape. 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 will apply force at a multiplier of their body weight when leveraging turns / making adjustments in rough water and the Enhanced Dynamic Rail provides resistance when you need it – without affecting the glide of the board on flat water or carrying weight when you are off it.
