Glider
Concept
For those unfamiliar with this style of surfboard, the Glider is an heirloom piece of surf craft. A must have for anyone serious about building a quiver of surfboards for all conditions. Riding the glider is an addictive experience from pop up to stepping off on the sand 800m down the point. The closest thing us surfers can experience to the ocean birds soaring along a swell line, the Glider taps into the same open water energy and pulls the rider along for the ride.

Small Waves
The Glider’s bread and butter, this giant board doesn’t need much wave energy to get going and will have you grinning ear to ear even when the waves are ankle high.Solid Waves
Not a decision to be taken lightly, but one that can prove a thrilling experience. See Shyama Buttonshaw at Bells Beach for inspiration, this approach is for very experienced surfers and in uncrowded line ups only.Crumbly Waves
A little bit of chop wont stand a chance against 12 foot of foam and fibreglass. Cut through onshore sections and continue shoreward with a smile on you dial.Hollow Waves
You’re best to leave your glider at home when the waves are 6 foot and barreling, but be sure to pack your Step Up Stage 2 Twin Pin. -
