I purchased the glide 5'3" 80l. It is significantly smaller than my previous board but I felt ready to progress. I have sailed it 3 times and am adapting to the new size. I really like the board a lot. It checked the boxes for a lot of what I was looking for. First I wanted a longer and narrower board without a blunt nose. This does accelerate very well and has good longitudinal stability on the water. The bottom shape seems effective as well without getting too fancy. Good chines on the rails. I'm kind of rough with my gear and wanted a durable board. My first time out my boom hit the board so hard it would have punctured my previous board. I can only feel a small dimple. I hate eps foam in a board. This foam and carbon fiber construction is much better in my opinion. I got the grey color. It looks really good (which is really the most important thing). I had it shipped to the U.S. and it was very professional. I only wish it was faster for delivery. Once you hit submit you want to surf now. But it was worth the wait.
