DESCRIPTION The Glider is the ultimate trimming machine. It is a classic design for classic surfing. It's length, volume, foil, outline, and bottom contours provide great paddling mobility, catch waves effortlessly, offer smooth flowing turns and trims through every section a wave may offer. When surf is marginal or small Gliders open a wide range of surfing possibilities and magic moments. Gliders perform best in mellow waves though they have no performance limitations in more critical waves. They can catch waves from any position in a line up and are particularly adept at catching waves out the back often before they break. Gliders trim through and connect sections with ease.
