Long lines
Glider
A long custom platform for paddle speed, quiet trim and the pleasure of drawing an unhurried line.
Feel. Effortless glide, early entry and a calm relationship with the wave.
Best for. Surfers wanting maximum paddle and trim without a conventional stock longboard.
A familiar, responsive feel with a traditional timber centre stringer and a clean glassed finish.
Custom only. No stock boards or preset dimensions. Gary shapes each Glider around the surfer and their waves.

Construction paths
Material is part of the shape.
Stringered PU
A familiar reference point with a traditional centre stringer and a responsive, connected feel.
Carbon rail PU
A stringerless approach that uses the rails to tune response, strength and the way flex returns through a turn.
EPS Flax
A distinctive construction path using natural flax cloth, considered durability and a lively flex character.
Agave Blank
Organically grown agave blanks handmade by Grow Blanks in Kenya ↗.
