The Glider lives up to its name. These boards are built for effortless flow, long trimming lines, and unmatched glide across the water. The feeling of riding a Glider is unlike anything else in the lineup, offering a smooth, flowing ride that carries speed naturally down the line.

With its long parallel rail line and refined pin tail, the Glider creates incredible forward momentum while still remaining surprisingly maneuverable for a board of its size.

Design and Performance

The Glider is designed to maximize trim speed, glide, and paddle power while maintaining control and fluid movement through the water.

Key design features include:

  • Long parallel outline for maximum glide
  • Smooth pin tail for control and hold
  • Medium entry rocker for easy paddling
  • More pronounced tail rocker for maneuverability
  • Rail profile transitioning from rolled entry to refined performance rails

Despite its size, the Glider remains smooth, responsive, and incredibly fun to surf.

Bottom Contours

The bottom design promotes smooth water flow and effortless speed.

  • Rolled entry through the nose
  • Inset channel concave through the midsection
  • Blending into vee through the tail

This contour combination helps the board maintain speed while allowing smooth rail transitions.

Fin Configurations

The Glider can be configured depending on the style of ride you want.

  • Single fin
  • 2 + 1 setup
  • 4 + 1 setup

Ideal Wave Conditions

The Glider performs best in clean, longer period waves where trim and glide can shine.

  • Small clean peelers
  • Point breaks
  • Open beach break walls
  • Works from small surf up to well overhead waves

Who It’s For

The Glider is ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers who want maximum glide, paddle power, and wave count.

Perfect for riders looking for a unique board that offers smooth flow, long rail lines, and a completely different surfing experience.

Sizing

Available from 9’6” up to 14’0”.

Got Questions? We've Got Answers.

How much do custom surfboards cost?

Custom surfboards typically cost between $700 and $1,200, depending on the size, materials, and level of customization. Hand-shaped boards from experienced shapers may cost more because they are tailored to your surfing style and local wave conditions.
What are surfboards made of?

Most modern surfboards are made from a foam core covered with fiberglass and resin for strength and durability. Some boards also use epoxy materials or carbon reinforcement to improve performance and reduce weight.
Why do surfers wax their boards?

Surf wax creates traction between your feet and the board, preventing slipping while paddling or riding waves. Without wax, the smooth fiberglass surface would be too slippery to maintain control.
How are surfboards made?

Surfboards are shaped from a foam blank that is carved into the desired design by a shaper. The board is then fiberglassed and coated with resin to create a strong, waterproof outer shell.
How much does a surfboard weigh?

Most surfboards weigh between 5 and 9 pounds, depending on their size and construction. Lightweight boards are easier to maneuver, while slightly heavier boards can offer more stability in certain wave conditions.
