Inside the Ride | Ernest "EJ" Johnson - SUP Magazine
Inside the Ride | Ernest “EJ” Johnson Age: 52. Hometown: Point Loma, California EJ Johnson is not a simple man: the drummer, paddle maker, SUP racer, skateboarder and woodworker lives unconventionally. His Sprinter van fits well into his unorthodox existence. He needed a vehicle to fit his wife Andie, his boards, camping gear and now, his two dogs, Red and Lucy. His background in carpentry helped with the highly customized interior, down to a reclaimed bamboo floor and a wooden SUP handle for the gear shifter. 1) 2003 Dodge Sprinter Van. I customized it myself but it’s got a 156-inch wheelbase and 210,000 miles on it, and it’s still running like a champ. 2) Custom Drawers. 3) Custom Racks. It’s got a paddle rack on the side that holds five or so. 4) Electronics. It’s got a big Alpine stereo system with a sub woofer that’s customized with a bamboo down-firing sub box. LED lights for the back and a light bar on the side by the slider so we can light up the whole campground at night. 7) Race Board. That’s a 14’ X 25” custom that I helped design for Yolo Board.
