I've been dreaming of this day for over 5 years lmao (well maybe with a lot better waves). To catch that outside wave and connect it, and on a board like this. This is zoomed in a ton so you don't get an accurate sense of the distance, but growing up surfing Newport I never thought minute long rides were possible outside of Cape St. Francis or Jeffries - especially so close to home.
Gliding this little wave was a lot more fun in person than it is to watch the Surfline replay haha. There are two waves in this clip. In the first, you can kinda tell how quickly I was able to gain on the guy in front if I wanted to. This board has a kind of drive that's addicting in better waves. And the second wave in this clip I love how the board outlasted the SUP'er.
But big or small, clean or windy, this is what I feel like riding a glider is all about. These aren't for the spectators on the beach. Just purely for the rider and getting more connected to the waves and the ocean.
