Softlite Hybrid Glider Softboard
The Hybrid Glider Softboard combines the best features of Performance Fiberglass Boards and Entry Level Softboards, staying true to core values of Quality, Performance, and Safety.
Template and Shape
The Glider uses a Mini Mal Template, a highly versatile and popular shape that works for surfers at most skill levels. This template features added width and thickness to increase the volume, providing excellent paddle power, even in flatter conditions. The straight outline generates down-the-line speed, while the rounded nose adds extra stability and helps the board to plane with ease.
The continuous low rocker helps the board glide smoothly at speed, allowing for easy turns and preventing nose-dives in more aggressive conditions. This makes the Glider a solid choice for progressing surfers, or anyone looking for a board with both ease and performance.
Rail Technology
The Glider features Softlite's updated Parabolic Rolled Rail Technology. This hand-shaped rail system starts with softer rails at the nose, tapering down to a sharp, hard-edged rail at the tail. This innovation ensures that the board is forgiving and resistant to rail catches at the front while giving more control, bite, and turning ability at the back. Much like a traditional fibreglass board, this rail design provides a more responsive feel, improving performance without sacrificing the softboard's overall user-friendly characteristics. The rails are built to offer increased stability, ease of paddling, and confidence in turns.
Stinger System
The Hybrid Glider features an internal solid bamboo stringer system for added strength and durability.
Internal Membrane
The Glider Softboard is built with 3 layers of 6oz fibreglass set with epoxy resin on the deck side (which is typically more than standard shortboards). The slick side has 1 layer of 6oz fibreglass set with epoxy resin for durability.
External Membrane
The deck side is encapsulated by a 5mm IXPE deck skin, providing extra strength, durability, and traction for secure footing during surf.
The slick side is encapsulated by a high-density PE slick bottom, enhancing speed and durability while ensuring protection from the elements.
24kg Density Moulded EPS Core
The Hybrid Glider uses a 24kg density moulded EPS core. This high-density core provides a balance of strength and buoyancy. It’s lightweight, yet durable enough to withstand the rigours of surfing. The EPS core has excellent floatation, ensuring you stay on top of the water even in smaller waves while offering enhanced durability to handle your surf adventures.
Fin System:
The Glider features a Futures Fin Box system, compatible with all Futures fins. This allows for easy fin changes to tailor the board's performance to various conditions.
