    The Glide Series

    The Glide Series consists of 4 models and covers the bases when it comes to longboard design, whether your approach is dated or modern, the series caters for the traditional and performance longboarder.

    MOD
    The MOD is a performance mal with added nose and tail rocker, thin tail and concave nose hull, with light double concaves to panel vee off the back. Designed with a smooth, continuous and curvy outline and a distinctly narrower tail. This is a highly versatile and all-round performance design.

    Rider weight: Light-MidWave Size: 1-6 ft +Skill level: Intermediate-Pro

    gX
    The gX is a high performance mal. The gX utilises a blend of old and new design principles that result in a completely versatile board. A slighly rolled bottom with softly bevelled nose concave blends into a deep barrel vee, which coincides with the apex of the hyper-extended tail rocker.
    Length: 9’0- 9’6Tails: Squash, RoundRails: Medium
    Rider weight: AllWave Size: 1-6 ft +Skill level: Intermediate-Pro
    Rocker: Available in lower entry beach break rocker or increased rocker for reefs.
    gHT

    The gHT offers glide and performance with a focus on nose riding capability. Very little nose rocker with a longer and forward, flatter entry that features a slightly beveled nose concave. Stability is gained from the wide nose and straighter, almost parallel rail outline and is complemented by the significant tail rocker. The gHT is built for the nose-riding fanatic.

    Tails: Round SquashRails: Medium-Full 50/50

    The Classic

    The Classic is a timeless and classic malibu- eggy 50/50 rails and rolled vee throughout. A narrower nose blends into a straighter outline with a curved hip at the rear. The wide point coincides with the rocker apex, and is noticeably back from centre. Single fin (glassed or box) and polish standard. Great with a resin tint, volan cloth, knee patch or woodies.
