Glide Brand Comparison
Compare our inflatable packages to our competition and find out why our value proposition is far and away the best in the industry. The technology that we use for our inflatable construction is only used by the top 1 percent of manufacturers, yet our pricing is typically $200-300 less than a similarly constructed board. That’s just the beginning of the superior value that you get with a Glide inflatable package because no one offers the number of accessories that we include with our boards. Every Glide package comes with paddle, leash, fin, backpack with wheels, pump, kayak seat and carrying strap. If you check out all of the details when shopping for an inflatable SUP we’re certain that you will become a Glide customer.
