Glide 3

GLIDE: the boat that continues to change the rules!

The Glide is part of kayaking folklore. Corran Addison designed a boat that was so advanced, that was so obviously going to sweep the 1996 world freestyle championships, that the rules were changed days before the event to stop this from happening. 

Thirty years later, Corran is doing it again, with his third iteration of his iconic design. The Glide 3 is going to totally change your perception of what a river running, playful and exciting kayak should look like, and should paddle. It's going to change the rules you've imposed on yourself in your understanding of how a river should be played, or how it can be paddled. This is, without a doubt, the most fun downriver paddling boat any of the testers have tried. The feeling was unanimous. 

Shorter than the 2018 Glide2, so it's more maneuverable, and fits into smaller play features, while keeping that same paddling speed, it's going to open up the river to downriver playing, river running and in the right hands, light creeking, all at the same time. It's easy to handle and as exciting as all heck. A fully dry riding bow, that you can still use to access vertical moves with ease even in relatively small features.

Combine Corran's famous loose and carving hulls, with unparalleled river running ease and predictability, that fits into the smallest waves, squirts with ease and playfulness, all while providing a confidence inspiring and predictable river runner so you can get from feature to feature with ease, grace and safety (including deck hatch with a throwbag), and you have a winning design you'll love from day1.
