The Mid Length Glider is a smooth, refined surfcraft designed to maximize trim, flow, and pure surfing pleasure across a wide range of conditions. Originally shaped at the request of Craig Anderson in early 2020, this board was developed as a go-to option for everything from average surf days to bigger, more challenging sessions—the kind of versatile shape you can count on when you're staying close to home but want to keep the stoke alive.
With refined neutral rails, a rolled entry, and a subtle double vee through the tail, the Mid Length Glider offers a balanced, intuitive feel that invites smooth rail-to-rail transitions and effortless line-drawing. Its flatter rockerdramatically boosts paddling power, making it easy to catch waves early and often, while maintaining control and composure once you're up and riding.
This is a true all-skill-level board, equally accessible for beginners wanting stability and wave count, or advanced surfers chasing elegant trim and arcing turns in anything from beach breaks to points and reefs. Addictive by nature, it shines in 1 to 6ft conditions, offering long rides, beautiful flow, and a satisfying sense of connection to the wave.
Pros

Smooth and flowing style: Rolled entry and double vee deliver seamless rail transitions.
Wide wave range: Suitable from knee-high peelers to well overhead surf.
Cons

Final Verdict
The Mid Length Glider is a beautifully tuned board that blends the art of classic surfing with modern refinement. Ideal for surfers who value speed, trim, and style, it delivers an elegant ride that rewards positioning and fluid motion over aggression. Whether you’re looking to slow things down or simply connect more deeply with each wave, the Mid Length Glider is a board that will keep you coming back for “just one more.”
