These boards are constructed amazing. Here is what the website reads:
Go ahead, drop it. Jump on it. Slide over those river rocks, watch your customers drag them along the sidewalk, use it as a snowboard ramp, piñata, or paintball shield. We did. Our ultra durable SUPs endure the most brutal beatings and stay intact, thanks to our innovative design and solid construction.
Glide’s patent-pending GSS coating, or Glide Surface Shield, is a VOC free polymer that has been developed to create an extremely durable coating that withstands damage caused by rocks, debris, abuse, paddle strikes, and drops. The non polluting ingredients in GSS gives the boards a unique rough texture finish that helps to break the surface tension and decrease the drag that is caused by the polymer’s elasticity. Even with years of normal use, GSS coating will not chip, flake, or fade.
