Aquaglide
has teamed up with John Amundson to bring his custom shapes into
production for all to enjoy. John has been living on the North Shore
of Oahu for 20 years, shaping and building surfboards, kite boards
and paddle boards. He is on the water daily, and gathers input from
a wide range of enthusiasts to come up with designs that are easy
to ride, but also favored by the top paddlers on the island. |

11'3"
x 29 1/2" x 4 1/8"
The Aquaglide
11'3" features a mast track to attach a windsurf rig, and a
full-length EVA deck pad that guarantees great traction and comfort
with no waxing required. Aquaglide boards also feature Paddleguard,
a high-density strip of EVA foam laminated along the rail to reduce
wear and tear to both the board and
the paddle. The 11'3" ia a versatile shape that is suitable
for the first time
paddler, as well as for more experienced riders who want a board
for flat water or surf. John was able to achieve this flexibility
when he discovered that a board's stability comes primarily from
length and width, not thickness or volume, so he made this board
29 1/2" wide so that anyone can start out on it in flat water.
For surf conditions, he thinned out the rails on the 11'3"
and gave it a modified longboard rocker, so it reacts quickly and
holds a rail. Finally, the Duratec construction results in a tough
and durable board that is still relatively light. |
