“Once Glide is in your fleet it’s over for any other brand.”

For more than a decade, Glide has been the trusted name for rental fleets, resorts, universities, and parks across the world. Our boards are built for one purpose: to withstand the abuse of rental use while still giving customers a stable, fun paddling experience that keeps them coming back.
With the introduction of GSS 3.0, our latest evolution in durability, the Glide Rental board has never been stronger. This proprietary blend of ABS and polycarbonate is smoother, tougher, and longer-lasting—solving the pinhole issues of earlier coatings and making Glide the only company to engineer a true rental-specific SUP.
Most so-called “rental boards” are just retail models with a new sticker slapped on them. Glide is different. We designed our rental boards from the ground up to maximize ROI, performance, and customer satisfaction.
Ultra-Durable Construction – GSS 3.0 resists dings, cracks, and UV fading.
Flat, Stable Platform – Beginner-friendly cockpit area with a full-length deck pad.
Smart Rocker Profile – Lower rocker for speed and stability, but still playful on the water.
Anti-Theft Locking System – Integrated 1.5" tail hole allows quick, secure locking of entire fleets.
Easy to Paddle – Smooth rails and forgiving shape accommodate paddlers of all sizes and skill levels.
Fleet-Proven ROI – Boards last season after season, reducing replacement costs and boosting margins.
“After a season I could almost sell them as new boards. I even had two fall off a trailer at 35 mph—just minor scuffs! Any other fiberglass board would’ve been trashed.”

Each Glide Rental board costs $849 (base wholesale, quantity discounts available) and is built to last for years. Amortized over just two seasons, here’s the math:
$50/day → $10,000 revenue → 1,077% ROI
$75/day → $15,000 revenue → 1,666% ROI
$100/day → $20,000 revenue → 2,252% ROI
$50/day → $20,000 revenue → 2,252% ROI
$75/day → $30,000 revenue → 3,435% ROI
$100/day → $40,000 revenue → 4,606% ROI
✅ Bottom line: Even at the lowest rates in the shortest season, a Glide board pays for itself many times over. Every rental after that is pure profit.
