It’s truly disheartening to learn that a company like Easy Eddy, which once brought innovation and adventure to many, is no longer in business. Their unique approach to paddleboarding, particularly in catering to the vanlife community, showcased a passion for both design and outdoor experiences. The demise of such companies is a reminder of the unpredictable nature of business and the fleeting existence of even the most promising ventures. It’s a loss not just for the adventure community, but also for the spirit of innovation and exploration they embodied.
Vanlife has taken the world by storm. Adventure enthusiasts, weekend warriors, and full-time road lifers alike have been drawn to the allure of living life on the open road. But what if we told you that there’s a way to combine vanlife with another popular adventure activity: paddleboarding? Thanks to the innovation of companies like Easy Eddy, you no longer have to choose between the open road and open water.
It was just two years ago that Jason, from CarolinaCampervan, showcased the ideal product for those living the vanlife and looking to take their adventures to the water: the Easy Eddy three-piece modular paddleboard. Here’s why it might just be the perfect addition to your vanlife setup.
Compact and Convenient
As Jason showed in his recent unboxing, the Easy Eddy paddle board, when fully assembled, measures a generous 10 feet 2 inches long and 32 inches wide. The magic, however, is in its three-piece modular design. This design allows for easy disassembly and storage, making it a perfect fit for those with limited space – like in a camper van. No longer do you have to attach an oversized board to the roof of your van or tow it behind. The modular design means you can safely store your board inside your van, protecting it from the elements and potential theft.
Feature-Rich for the Modern Adventurer
The Easy Eddy doesn’t just stop at convenience. As Jason revealed, this board comes equipped with features that every modern adventurer would appreciate. There’s a GoPro mount designed for those looking to document their escapades on the water. Planning to paddle during sunset with your favorite beverage? The board has you covered with a beverage holder. And if you’re carrying extra gear or snacks, the board also includes a handy storage hatch and a set of bungees.
Thoughtfully Designed for Every Water Scenario
One of the standout features Jason highlighted was the board’s removable fin. This means that if you’re paddling in shallow waters and wish to beach your board, you can easily do so without the risk of damaging the fin. The fin’s easy removal and reattachment feature ensures that you can adapt to various water scenarios, making it a versatile choice for different locations and conditions.
The Perfect Combo
Vanlife is all about embracing flexibility, freedom, and adventure. By combining the lifestyle with activities like paddleboarding, you expand your horizons – from exploring coastal bays at sunrise to paddling down serene lakes nestled within mountain ranges. The Easy Eddy paddleboard, with its innovative design and thoughtful features, makes this combination not just possible but effortless.

And for all the vanlifers out there, this might just be the gear upgrade you’ve been waiting for. Safe travels and happy paddling!
