Common Questions

The paddle is angled – which direction should the “glide” logo face when paddling?
The logo should face forward. This allows the water to slip more easily past the blade as it moves through the water.
How long does it take to inflate a Glide board?
It takes about 5-10 minutes to pump a glide board. Getting from 0 to 1 PSI will take about as long as getting from 1 to 15 PSI, so stay patient and keep pumping!
What is the recommended psi for Glide boards?
Our recommended PSI is 12-15. However, our proprietary Glide fusion design allows our boards to be pumped up to a maximum of 25 PSI.
How do I deflate and roll up my Glide board?
Unscrew the cap on the valve, push down the valve stem and twist. This allows the board to fully deflate. It is going to be scary, it is going to be loud, but you will not die. You will help the air escape by rolling up the opposing end until you are close to the valve. Close the valve by twisting it and you're done! Check out this video here we made for further instructions.
Winter is here, how do you suggest I store my board?
For inflatables, we suggest making sure your board is cleaned off, rolled up in your bag and stored in a dry place. For hardboards, keep it in a temperature controlled area (ex. Garage, Basement, etc.).
Can I travel with the board on top of my car?
Yes, just make sure it is fully secured.
Does the paddle float
Yes, but just like you it won’t float forever (you should wear a life-jacket)! After a couple minutes the shaft will fill with water and sink.
How should I clean my board?
Use a gentle detergent such as, dawn dish soap deluded with water. For really tough stains we recommend using a magic eraser.
