"Agility of a small board in a not-so-small body." This exceptionally stable shortboard for the heavier rider has been given a performance boost with modification of the outline, rails, concave and V. A flatter deck has countered the loss of volume to aid stability as well as providing a smaller, lighter board to throw around (swing weight). Softer, thinner rails forward have improved acceleration and sensitivity, while thicker, squared off rails in the tail also improve drive when the back foot is planted. A deeper single concave also aids acceleration and speed, creating a straighter rocker through the middle of the board. It's a new highlight in our offering, become amazed! "Mono-concave the entire length of the board"

Designed for inland racers who compete on glassy surfaces or with wind chop, this board will take competitors to the next level. The board has a low entry rocker that flows into a displacement hull and exits with a rounded pin-tail. These engineering breakthroughs make this board extremely fast in getting to top speed and gliding effortlessly. The board’s width makes it very stable so that there is no loss in efficiency from rocking side to side which will turn the full power of the stroke into forward energy. Glide race boards are born out of a background that no other SUP manufacturers’ can lay claim to: our designers’ international race kayak experience. The boards have most of the features that have been proven out over the years in high Olympic flat water racing kayaks. We took this singular knowledge and blended it with input from our team of world-class athletes to create the fastest, most unique race boards on the market. Our race boards are hand crafted using a proprietary laminating process that gives the boards incredible stiffness while keeping their weight an extremely light 26 lbs. The boards are then refined with a race sanded matte finish....

Designed specifically for open water racers who demand a board that will allow them to race in any imaginable conditions. The unique bow shape keeps the nose riding high and piercing through any swell or chop. If water does crash over the top of the bow, the deck is designed to shed water fast and efficiently.

The Retro is Glide’s take on the classic surf board design. Cruise your local lake in style. The Retro is also a capable whitewater and ocean surf board. Some things never go out of style. Glide had to pay homage to the classic surf shapes used by so many from the Waikiki Beach Boys, to present day SUP pioneers. Take this board to the lake for a day of fun, run up to class II whitewater or take this board to the ocean where it’s classic design will excel.

Paddling away from an angry Bear, this board has incredible speed. What is your Quest?

Glide partnered with some of the pioneers in SUP Yoga to create the premier SUP Yoga center to develop our Yoga and Fitness Board. The instructors have tried every SUP Yoga board on the market and none of them quite worked for their demanding Yoga sessions. The board had to be a stable and comfortable platform for Yoga or Crossfit style exercises but it also had to paddle well in flat water as well as the open ocean. It had to be durable but it also had to be light weight. So many demands! After almost 1 year in development and testing the Bliss will become the standard for Yoga and Fitness boards. Designer Ken Driscoll was last seen doing a King Pigeon and Side Crane Pose on the Glide Yoga. We’re pretty sure he’s not coming back to the factory.

Larger paddlers don't worry we have you covered. There is no need to ride logs anymore in the lineup. Our 8’4” will float paddlers up to 240lbs and allow them to perform moves they never thought would be possible on a traditional SUP shape. Designed with performance in mind, the EightFour will allow you to take your ride to the next level. Intermediate paddlers will be able to enter the 'green room' then power out of the wash for a epic session.

Finally short board performance in a SUP. This board is amazingly fast, extremely agile and offers performance that has been unseen in a production model SUP. If your looking for down the line speed, getting barreled or pulling off the lip moves this is the board to take you to the next level.

This board is magic. It’s unlike any SUP you have ever seen and it will make a surfer out of you. The board is stable, paddles out over waves easily and best of all it catches any wave, once on the wave it will tear them up. If your new to surfing or looking for a one board quiver this is your board.
