The New Portable Generation of Virtually Indestructible Eco-Friendly Paddle Boards that can Stow Easily in Boats and Compact Cars

Background

Leominster, MA - Artech Modular Paddle Sports, after raising over $223,000 via Kickstarter and Indiegogo with the support of 231 paddle boarding enthusiasts, launches a new line of high-performance, three-piece paddle boards, made with reclaimed plastics.
What happens when a group of friends is so passionate about paddle boarding that they buy a roto-molding factory in order to invent the perfect modular paddle board?
Introducing the Easy Eddy Three-Piece Paddle Board a three-piece modular stand up paddle board (SUP) that fits in the trunk of a car, stows easily on a boat and outperforms top-of the line inflatable SUPs, without the need to inflate before use.
“We know a few people had tried to make a modular SUP before, but we're never able to figure out the production side of thing. So we started by buying our own roto-molding factory,” said Co-Founder Elliot Feinberg. “In between batches of roto-molded flower pots and planters, we kept tinkering with Easy Eddy prototypes.”

Created by a team of sailing and paddle boarding enthusiasts who were frustrated with the SUP options available to them, the Easy Eddy Paddle Board eliminates the hassles of storage, transportation, inflation/deflation, fiberglass repair and punctures of current hard board and inflatable SUPs. And it stores easily on boats, without the need for expensive, bulky racks. 

"Hard boards performed well but we're difficult to fit in boats or the elevator to a condo, or to transport to the water," said Co-Founder Dean Pariseau. "With inflatable boards, the poor performance and hassle of having to inflate and deflate them outweighed any convenience. So we created Easy Eddy from recyclable materials. That means no styrofoam, no fiberglass, and no toxic PVC found in all non-recyclable hard boards and inflatable SUPs." said Dean.
