Here's a pic of Jacko on the Glide from this morning on the sunny Gold Coast .
Not really downwind conditions, but you got a good feel the board: really stable, doesn't push water, and turns really easily from the central paddling position.
Definitely sits more on top of the water than the Boardworks Vortice and has more of a surfing feel than a straight running hull.
I was down there to try the 10'6 and 9'6 so it was great to have go on this - thanks again Jacko and Angie!

Brooko,
As a wind spanker, all I know is that your weight in kg is about equal to your volume in litres to have equal weight to volume, if I rode in exactly the glassiest conditions ever. To be safe cos its often not dead glass, I think an sup needs about 120 plus litres in volume for me. That is why my 9'4" x 29.5" is a sweet machine for my weight. I can ride it when its a little choppy as well. Now I need to practice so I can rip like dogman and casso.
Keepinitreal,
Scotty

Just curious, is the Glide primarily a board for surfing, for paddling or an attempt at a combination of the two? By the looks of the photo you'd be able to wakesurf behind it as well...

The 9'3 is without doubt the best short board sup out there that i have riddin . It feels like a proper short board it nice pull in nose and the rocker feels perfect.
i came of the water yesterday buzzing having a board that is really snappy and you have to stay right back on it like on a normal short board one word for the board is SICK . I Will right a full review soon but would also like to test it against the PSH boards so hope they are up to scratch because this board is the best short board SUP I've seen to date.
