What Makes Glide Different

Modified on Tue, 7 Oct at 3:15 PM

At Glide, we’ve spent more than a decade building paddleboards that last longer, perform better, and deliver more fun on the water. We’re not a marketing company that slaps logos on cheap boards — we’re paddlers, engineers, and builders who care about every detail.


Built for Real Performance

Every Glide inflatable starts with premium materials and purpose-built construction designed for stiffness, durability, and reliability.

  • AeroMatrix Core: Our woven cross-knit drop-stitch core creates unmatched rigidity and responsiveness — proven to outperform nearly every inflatable on the market.

  • Trifusion Rails: Triple-layer rails add strength and protect your board from impact and wear.

  • Precision Welding & Seams: Every joint is heat-fused and pressure tested to ensure consistent air retention and long-term durability.

We don’t chase trends — we build boards to handle real use, year after year.


Design That Fits How You Paddle

Every Glide board is shaped and tested by paddlers who know what matters on the water: balance, glide, and simplicity.
Whether you’re fishing, practicing yoga, exploring, or just paddling for fun, our designs are tuned for stability and effortless control — so you can relax and enjoy the ride.


Backed by a 5-Year Warranty

We stand behind every board with one of the best warranties in the industry — five years of coverage on all inflatable paddleboards.
Because premium products should come with premium support.


A Better Value, Long Term

Cheap boards might save you money upfront, but they won’t last. Glide boards are engineered to deliver years of performance — without the soft spots, seam failures, or sagging that plague low-cost inflatables.
That’s why so many paddlers start with Glide and stay with Glide.


Built by People Who Paddle

Glide is based in Salt Lake City, Utah — surrounded by mountains, lakes, and rivers. Our team paddles every weekend, tests every design, and stands behind every product we make.

When you buy from Glide, you’re not just getting a board — you’re joining a community that believes quality and adventure belong together.
