NEW FOR 2009!

The Glide II

The glide fish is a larger, cruisier version of the MKII.  Wider, with a lower rocker and a light single into double concave the Glide II can surf almost nothing. The Glide II also features a narrower tail than the original Glide for improved control. Although it's a great board for fuller, softer and smaller surf waves, they're still very comfortable and capable on overhead waves.  I have found myself doing both full roundhouse cutbacks on the tiniest of waves as well as gliding all over well over head walls with one of these.  It’s also really well suited to surfers who ride longboards, mini mal, hybrid style shapes.

• a low, easy gliding fast rocker
• a light single into double concave
• twin fiberglass or timber keel fins

Customer Feedback

I have been surfing for 20yrs and last year I got a 6’8’’ Glide Fish, and it is without doubt the best surfboard I have ever had. It has rekindled my love of surfing and got me right back into it.  I have just returned from a 3 month to NZ, Sri Lanka and the Maldives and it was the only board I needed for the varied waves I encountered. It went in small slop and 8ft barrelling reefs.  I bought it from Down the Line in Cornwall, England (I live in the UK) and your boards have a huge following over here.  I would like to be on the waiting list for slightly smaller board in 2010 – possibly a 6’6’’ mkIII or similar?  Thanks very much, Barney ....6’8’’ Glide Fish

“Forgot to write you regarding the fish – it looks sick, rips and has been ridden by more than 15 people who claim the same. It’s been a real nice smooth ride and has been able to handle all of Sydney’s swells to date.” Phil, April 2007
