FREE SHIPPING IN CANADA AND THE USA.

It’s not just any paddleboard.
It’s the only one like it.
That’s what handcrafted means.
One of one.

Whether you paddle for peace or play, the Giesler GLYDE is unlike anything else on the water — or the market. It’s the only paddleboard born from over 100 years of boatbuilding tradition, handcrafted by Giesler’s expert artisans in Ontario.

Every GLYDE carries the legacy of heirloom-quality craftsmanship — built to last your lifetime and beyond. (So yes, you might want to include it in your will.)

🪵 Built by hand. Built to last.

• Every board is made with care, patience, and human hands — not machines.
• 60+ hours of handcrafted construction
• Zero plywood. Zero foam. 100% cedar
• No shortcuts. No nail guns. Just brass nails and hammers.

🧱 The Core

Inside every GLYDE lies a precision-built skeleton made from rot-resistant Ontario white cedar. Unlike plywood-based frames with fragile ¼" ribs, GLYDE uses wider, solid cedar ribs that deliver:

• Greater bonding strength — no risk of delamination
• Brass fasteners for added integrity
• Integrated drainage channels inside every rib

🌲 The Shell

The shell is planked with Western Red Cedar from British Columbia — each piece carefully fastened by hand. No two GLYDE boards are the same: the natural grain, tone, and pattern make each one a true original.

✨ The Finish

Each board is sealed with high-grade epoxy resin and protected by a marine UV-resistant varnish. This isn't just beautiful — it’s built to endure sun, surf, and time.

💨 Smart Venting & Drainage

Dual GoreTex® vents at the nose and tail self-regulate internal pressure — no manual plugs needed.

Rear drain plug and integrated rib channels allow easy water release if needed.

GLYDE Like a Loon

• Designed for cottage and lake life
• Tracks straight. Stable. Smooth.
• Strong enough for gear. Beautiful enough to display.
• Feels alive under your feet — because it is.

🌱 Sustainability isn’t a feature. It’s the foundation.

Most boards: Foam, plastic, factory-assembled.
Giesler GLYDE: 100% Canadian cedar. No foam. No plastic. No waste.

Built one at a time in Powassan, Ontario.
This is what sustainability actually looks like.
