Like the company’s entry-level 9-6 SKYLAKE GREEN, the 9-6 SKYLAKE BLUE model is an outstanding choice for smaller paddlers who are looking for a versatile, well-made iSUP that can handle just about anything.

The ERS 9-6 SKYLAKE BLUE features three removable fins on the bottom of the board which gives it added versatility when compared with its SKYLAKE GREEN counterpart. The center fin utilizes a universal US fin box while the two smaller side fins are click fins. Earth River SUP includes two center fin options with this iSUP backpack, giving you the ability to use the shorter fin for shallow water paddling.

A recent addition to the company’s iSUP range, the Earth River SUP 10-9 SKYLAKE GT is an ideal inflatable paddle board for those who want to go faster and farther without making big sacrifices in terms of maneuverability.

This board is a great option if you’ve been thinking about moving up to a touring SUP but don’t really want to deal with the added size. The 10-9 SKYLAKE GT’s square tail increases overall stability when performing pivot turns and the tapered nose cuts through wind and chop effortlessly.

Another new addition to Earth River SUP’s inflatable paddle board lineup this year is the 11-2 SKYLAKE GT. A larger, wider version of the 10-9 SKYLAKE GT, this board is good for larger paddlers who need the added 11-2’s added volume. At 32″ wide, it’s also a more stable platform and is the better choice when it comes to navigating chop.
