THE WIDE RIDE WITH REAL GLIDE

Wide Ride has a surf ‘n cruise paddle board size for all rider weights and abilities; the bigger models produce the easiest glide and stability, while the smaller sizes deliver more control and maneuverability. Wide Ride: the wave-ripper for real-world riders!

THIN RAILS ON WIDE BOARDS

You will sense the trademark thin rails biting into the wave just like a smaller board and let you maneuver off the top and in bottom turns in ways not expected.
The thin rails mean you need less effort to turn on the rail, as there is less volume holding the board back from sinking into the turn.

SHORT NOSE OUTLINE

Makes it easier to pivot turn and fit in the critical section of the wave without catching the nose.

NOSE KICK

Prevents the nose from diving when getting into waves and paddling in choppy water.

FLAT ROCKER

In the center provides efficient glide and speed on flats.

FLAT STANDING AREA

Allows to have a wider stance for extra stability in chop.

MODERATE TAIL KICK

Allows for tighter turning when standing back on the tail.

WIDE ROUNDED TAIL

Improves stability when stepping on the board to turn. It also gives release out of turns.

MONO TO DOUBLE CONCAVE BOTTOM

Provides speed to catch the wave and then has sensitive rail-to-rail turning from the midpoint.

CHANNEL TAIL

Makes it easier to carry speed and hold through maneuverers.

SIDE FIN BOXES

Are positioned closer to the rail for quicker response in turns. Minimal change yet a big improvement.

FIN SET UP

Thruster fin set up provides comfortable straight-line tracking on flat and gives drive and control in surf.
