Pure Fun, Genuine Quality Stand-Up Paddle Range 2 0 1 3

Wherever there is water… Stand-Up Paddleboarding gives you quick, care-free time on the water, anytime…and anywhere. With it’s roots deep in Hawaiian surf culture, the sport is now enjoyed on oceans, bays, lakes, and rivers everywhere. At Aquaglide, we have been involved in active watersports for decades, so SUP was a natural for us. We teamed up with John Amundson right away, and 2013 marks the sixth year producing his boards. John grew up surfing the beaches of Southern California, and started picking up the board building trade early. 20 years ago he made the move to the northshore of...

CROSS SERIES Medium sized boards for flat water and surf; you choose the conditions. The Cross boards are the two smallest in our line; performance boards that excel in flat water cruising but also allow you to cross-over into the surf when the waves turn up. This level of versatility is what makes these boards unique. Although these are the smallest boards in the line, they still need to be stable, so John gave them moderate widths and flat bottoms underfoot. The right amount of rocker, combined with the perfect outline, make these boards track nicely so that small and medium riders can go...

SOURCE SERIES Larger boards that are super stable, for bigger riders, entry-level, families, fishing, and tandem. The Source boards are the definition of SUP for many people. When you just want to get on the water for a guaranteed good time, these are the ticket. Because they are larger all-around boards, they can handle any size paddler, or a pile of kids. Stability is achieved by going wider in combination with a flat bottom that extends almost all the way out to the rail. We have also flattened the deck for a more comfortable standing area. The modified surf rocker allows these boards to...

TR SERIES Flat-water specific designs for touring, racing, and recreational paddling in non-surf environments. 12’6” TR-2 John Amundson’s TR boards first hit the scene in the summer of 2010, which already seems like a while ago in the world of SUP. At that time, your choices for touring boards were either a race board, or a long surfboard with a pointy nose. We saw the need for more stable boards that still have lots of speed and glide, for cruising inland waters, for fitness and exploring. Today this category is starting to dominate the waters in many areas, and we are excited to have been...

TR-X SERIES Premium construction technology for the finest boards on the water. The TR-X Series are fast boards, for paddlers who want to get the most out of their time on the water, whether it is training or racing. Longer boards are faster, and as boards become longer, the advantages of weight saving technology are greater. The use of carbon fiber becomes more appropriate in the quest to keep these boards stiff and light, and only the most experienced craftsmen can consistently produce boards at the quality level that top paddlers demand. We are fortunate to be working with the world’s...
