Keith Teboul: "My idea for the Glide was to create something easy, stable and fast to paddle, yet it was supposed to have a shining spark in its maneuverability. This board comes with solid rockers and full outlines, giving it a completely different level of stability and comfort, greatly enhanced by ISD™ (Integrated Stability Deck), which serves as an ergonomic stance platform. ISD™ works slightly against the convex deck dome, offering a more solid stance. The nose rocker has a lower entry for ease of paddling and a very constant glide, hence the name. The bottom transitions from single to double to vee for an agile and maneuverable board.
To me the Glide is the go to board for cruising and small waves.
Changing the size of the side fins will loosen the board in waves, but it is the center fin which can truly transform the boards stability and performance. A large Center fin will make the board stable in flat water but harder to turn in waves, beginner paddlers will appreciate this in flat water or conditions where there maybe wind or chop but getting stuck into waves and trying to turn your brand new 11ft Sup can be challenging to say the least.
