Celebrating Earth Week

This year, we are continuing our tradition of extending our favorite holiday, Earth Day into an entire Earth Week event (April 14-22).

By extending Earth Day into a week, we want to help spread awareness of how important it is for all of us humans to get outside and experience the wonders of Mother Nature. In honor of Earth Week, the ISLE team will be unplugging from technology and opting outside each morning to take part in our favorite outdoor activities: paddle boarding, surfing and hiking.

Follow our Earth Week adventures on our Facebook and Instagram, and don’t forget to tag your favorite outdoorsy photos with #ISLEsup for a chance to be featured on our Instagram during Earth Week.

10 TREES FOR EVERY BOARD SOLD

During our Earth Week event, we will be donating 10 trees to the National Forest Foundation for every paddle board we sell. When you buy a SUP, you will be helping restore our national forests damaged by wildfires, insects and disease. Ultimately, planting more trees will reduce our collective carbon footprint. We planted 4,320 trees last year and hope to plant over 6,000 this year.

In addition to planting 10 trees for every board, we are offering $150 off when you purchase any two boards from our website, including our new 2017 models. If you haven’t seen them yet, you must check them out!
