Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between the Retro Elite and the Wander 10'6?


The Retro Elite uses a premium cross-woven drop-stitch core and ThermoFuse triple-layer rails for superior stiffness and durability—closer to the feel of a hardboard. It also comes with a full-length deck pad, a wheeled backpack, and includes a kayak seat and dual-blade paddle. The Wander 10'6" has a woven core, dual-layer rails, and fewer accessories—great for value-focused paddlers.

Does the Retro Elite paddle board convert to a kayak?


Yes, and it comes ready to go. The Elite includes Glide’s AirThrone kayak seat and a dual-blade paddle attachment, so you can easily switch from standing to sitting and paddle comfortably in either position.

Is the Retro Elite good for yoga or fitness?


Absolutely. The full-length EVA deck pad gives you plenty of space and grip for yoga poses, stretching, or bodyweight workouts. It’s soft underfoot, pet-friendly, and perfect for anyone who wants more than just a casual paddle.

How stiff is the Retro Elite compared to a hardboard?


Thanks to its cross-woven drop-stitch core and ThermoFuse rails, the Retro Elite is one of the stiffest inflatable paddle boards on the market. It delivers hardboard-like performance with the convenience of an inflatable.

Why choose the Retro Elite over all the other paddle boards out there?


Because no other board offers this kind of performance, versatility, and value in one package. The Retro Elite rides like a hardboard thanks to its cross-woven drop-stitch core and ThermoFuse triple-layer rails, yet packs down like an inflatable. It comes fully loaded with a full-length deck pad, a wheeled travel bag, and a true kayak conversion kit—seat and dual-blade paddle included. Most brands charge extra for those features (if they offer them at all). With the Retro Elite, you’re not just getting a paddle board—you’re getting two ways to ride, premium construction, and unmatched value in one seriously fun setup.

Love my Glide

I'm loving my new Glide board! After upgrading from a cheap Amazon board, there are a lot of things that are so much easier, like standing up, getting back on my board, and a lighter paddle. I have found I don't need to use all 3 fins because the board is already so stable. If I had to list any complaints, it would be that the backpack is huge and heavy and my board is a little slower than others I've tried. Other than that, this is an amaing general use board for a great price.

Waiting for Spring to Really Know

Won't be on the water until Spring. It looks nice and feels solid. Electric pump that was included is quieter than expected though when I read the Ad I was under the impression it could run off either a car battery or an outlet. But I was mistaken about it having a 120v to 12v DC power converter.
