Glide Fishing Paddle Board Review: The Most Comfortable Fishing Experience

Are you looking for the ultimate fishing experience? Look no further than the Glide Fishing Paddle Board! This unique paddle board was designed specifically for anglers and offers various features to improve your next fishing trip.

SUP fishing is the current model of water travel to catch monster fish or the more important story to share with your friends. Not only will you get to workout out and dodge the belly of a shore fisherman, but your capability to spot and reach fish will be significantly improved.

The popularity of SUPs on lakes, rivers, and oceans is increasing for a good reason. It’s not only more fun but offers access to lakes that do not allow motorized watercraft, giving you the anglers’ upper hand. The things that make a paddle board suitable for fishing are a sturdy platform with sufficient capacity to efficiently carry all the gear you require, from rods and GPS to storage and coolers, deck mounts for rod holders, racks and extra mounting equipment, a good paddling performance to get to your fishing hole, and lastly, a price that fits your budget.

This blog post will discuss some of Glide O2’s key features and pros and cons. I will also give my thoughts on whether or not this paddle board is right for you. So, if you are ready to take your fishing game to the next level, keep reading!

Most suitable for:

The Glide Fishing Paddle Board is a terrific pick if you’re seeking a versatile inflatable SUP for fishing. It is an adaptable board, and you can do anything with it.

When it comes to performance, the Glide Fishing Paddle Board does not disappoint. It paddles smoothly and tracks well in both calm and rough water. It’s also stable enough to handle small waves and windy conditions. And if you want to go fishing or tour on your SUP board, the Glide Fishing Paddle Board has plenty of room for all your gear.

Pro’s

  • Adjustable buoyancy control allows you to keep your bait close to the surface.
  • All-inclusive package: You may have noticed that, unlike other inflatable SUPs, many fishing boards do not have all the fundamental SUP necessities. The Glide comes equipped with everything you’ll need for paddle boarding, including a kayak seat and a carry strap.
  • Affordable: Good fishing boards can be pretty costly, including inflatable ones. I love the idea that the Glide Fishing Paddle Board is not too pricey, yet you still get a quality and stable platform for fishing.
  • Long-lasting yet lightweight design with strengthened rods.
  • Molded-in air bladders provide a safe and easy method to float on water and land.
  • The board is cradled in the water by EVA foam, which keeps it from sinking.
  • The inflatable design is lightweight and easy to store when not in use.
  • The 11-foot-by-36-inch-by-6-inch board is lightweight and has a large catch.
  • The quality construction: Although it is a low-cost choice, it has a military-grade structure and reinforced rails. Because it is robust enough to carry up to 500 pounds, it is suited for anglers of all sizes.

Cons

  • Single-fin system
  • No side fins on the Glide Fishing Paddle Board, only a large center fin. You can’t experiment with different configurations.

What Makes the Glide Fishing Paddle Board to Stand Out?

Choosing the perfect paddle board for fishing may seem overwhelming, but getting the ideal angler board is easy with a few guidelines.

This Glide fishing paddle board is made using an ultra-reinforced drop stitch and fusion technology. It features reinforced rails; you can easily mistake it for a solid paddle board when fully inflated. I, personally, loved the rigidity of it. Very solid and stable.

It has a weight capacity of 400 pounds–enough for you and your gear. With a length of 11 feet and 36 inches, the Glide Fishing Paddle Board is a stable platform for paddle board fishing. It has d-rings in all the right places to carry your tackle box or a cooler beer on your fishing adventure.

It also features two bungee storage sections on the front and rear of the board to store your fishing equipment and cameras. This paddle board is 44.4 feet long, 8.2 feet wide, and weighs 28 pounds.

The Angler Inflatable fishing board can comfortably accommodate you and your gear, with a weight capacity of up to 450 lbs. It glides effortlessly at an astonishing pace, allowing you to paddle across vast distances in a short amount of time. The flat and broad bottom for your fishing trip provides stability and safety.

Unlike inferior stand-up paddle boards, Glide’s O2 Angler inflatable paddle board is made from the highest grade materials. Glide truly crafted one of the best blow-up boards on the market. Designed for passionate anglers who thirst for adventure, Glide’s inflatable paddle boards for adventurers are the top-notch choice.

This board is also relatively smooth and efficient on the water, making it ideal for long expeditions.

There is a ton of storage onboard, including Velcro loops on the side for your paddle, and the entire deck pad is remarkably comfortable.

The Glide Fishing Paddle Board is an excellent SUP for those looking for a high-quality, long-lasting board that can take on any challenge. With its extra-large deck and thick construction, this SUP is perfect for larger riders or those who want a little more stability while paddling.

It is built with a thick, durable PVC material that can take on any challenge. The Glide Fishing Paddle Board can endure it all, whether you’re paddling in calm waters or hitting the waves.

The Glide Fishing Paddle Board provides exceptional tracking and glide, making it an excellent choice for flat water and open water paddling. So, if you’re in the market for a new paddle board, be sure to check out the Glide Fishing Paddle Board. You won’t be disappointed!

Speed on the water
The Speed on the water of this paddle board is fantastic. It can go up to 15 miles per hour on the water. This is a great paddle board for fishing because it is moderately fast.

Transport
If you have a car with a roof rack, then transporting the Glide O2 shouldn’t be a problem. However, if you don’t have a car or your vehicle doesn’t have a roof rack, then it might be more challenging to transport the paddleboard.

The good news is that the Glide O2 comes with a carrying case, so you can easily carry it by hand. Also, wheels come with the case, so you can roll it instead of carrying it.

Stability
The Glide fishing paddle board is one of the most stable boards on the market. It’s perfect for newbies and experienced paddlers alike. With 12′ and a width of 32″, the Glide O2 provides plenty of stability while fishing.

It also has a comfortable standing area and a large fishing platform, making it perfect for those long days out on the water.

Professional’s Experience

I always choose the Glide fishing paddle board when it comes to fishing and recreational paddling.

This is a great board for anyone who wants to get into stand-up paddle boarding or someone experienced who wants a versatile board that can handle different conditions.

The Glide fishing paddle board is a well-designed, easy-to-maneuver SUP with good overall performance. It’s an excellent option for people looking for an inflatable board that can be set up quickly.

The first thing you’ll notice about the Glide O2 is its length. At 11′ long, it’s among the longest paddle boards on the market. This extra length provides stability and tracking that other boards can’t match. And when you’re standing on the deck, you’ll have plenty of space to move around and cast your line without worrying about toppling over.

Fishing from the board is easy as it is such a stable platform, and with the Scotty Mount plates and star mounts, you have almost an endless supply of options to carry, like your rods and everything else you need for a day out on the water slaying fish as the kids say. This board was developed from the ground up to be a fishing platform that paddles well and will take you into spots you can not get to by boat or hiking around the lake.

The Glide Fishing Paddle Board is a top-of-the-line fishing SUP that offers a variety of features to make your next fishing trip even better.

One of the best features of this paddle board is its built-in fish finder. This feature lets you see exactly where the fish are, so you can confidently cast your line.

The Glide O2 also has a built-in cooler to keep your bait and tackle cool and fresh all day. And, if you’re seeking a place to store your fishing gear, the Glide O2 has plenty of storage space for all your equipment.

Overall, the Glide Fishing Paddle Board was designed by the brand closely working with avid anglers on precisely what they wanted in a fishing paddle board and what they did not like from other fishing paddle boards on the market. So, if you are an avid fisherperson or just getting into paddle board fishing, you will love this board!

In The Package: What’s in the box

Paddle

The adjustable paddle of the Glide Fishing Paddle Board is ideal for traveling and easy storage. It is strong and durable and a great paddle to start with. Aluminum paddles are notoriously heavy, so you may want to upgrade down the road to a lighter one, but I didn’t mind using this paddle at all. The blue, red, and yellow detail on the blade matches the board and is a nice touch.

Leash

Glide-O2-Retro-Paddle-Board (4)

A 10′ coiled SUP leash of the Glide Fishing Paddle Board (yellow to match the board) is included in the package of the SUP. The leash is an essential safety item that keeps the board from being swept away from you if you should fall in the water.

Pump

The hand pump of the Glide Fishing Paddle Board that comes with this package is a regular manual pump that will do the job. I recommend getting an electric pump like the OM Shark II electric pump that will speed up the process and reach the needed PSI without any issue.

Backpack

The Glide Fishing Paddle Board backpack zips open on three sides, making it easy to get everything in and out. The backpack feels strong and durable, and the heavy-duty zippers work well. The adjustable padded shoulder straps make it relatively comfortable to carry, and the waist and chest straps provide a bit more support if you need to carry it further.

Kayak Seat

Additional Accessories

Life Jacket

This is a must-have accessory, especially if there will be children or pets on the paddleboard. You can’t just put on any old life jacket and call it good when paddle boarding. You need a properly-fitting personal flotation device (PFD) that is comfortable and won’t get in your way while paddling. While there are many different types and styles of PFDs on the market, here are a few things to consider when choosing the right one for you.

Consider the type of paddle boarding you’ll be doing most often. If you are doing primarily flatwater paddling, you’ll want a different PFD than if you’re planning on tackling some whitewater rapids. Comfort is vital. You don’t want to constantly adjust and readjust your PFD while you’re out on the water, so make sure it fits well and doesn’t chafe or rub in any uncomfortable ways.

Because the Komodo SUP has so many activities to offer, it’s best to invest in a high-quality and comfortable life jacket to keep the passengers safe. Keep in mind that you must ensure everyone’s safety. With more options to choose from, an infant life jacket and a dog life jacket are available.

Waterproof Fanny Pack

If you’re planning on hitting the waves for a day of paddle boarding, you’ll want to make sure you have all the gear you need to stay safe and comfortable. One essential item is a waterproof fanny pack. This will help keep your valuables safe and dry as you enjoy your time on the water. There are a few things to consider when choosing a waterproof fanny pack. First, think about what size you need. A smaller bag will be fine if you’re only bringing a few small items with you. But if you’re carrying things like sunscreen, snacks, and extra clothes, you’ll need something more significant.

Electric Pump

The electric pump is an excellent addition to any paddle boarder’s arsenal. It is easy to get your board inflated and ready to hit the water. No more struggling with manual pumps or worrying about whether or not you’ve got enough air in your board. The electric pump does all the work for you.

Kayak Conversion Kit/Seat Cushion

Because the Glide is also a great fishing paddleboard, you might want to consider adding a kayak seat to make your experience more comfortable and enjoyable, especially if you have a passenger.

Water Proof Speakers

A waterproof speaker will enhance your paddling experience on the water. While you’re doing your activity, listen to your favorite song! When paddling, good music will lighten the mood; you can even dance while on the water on this paddleboard because it is guaranteed to be stable! Invest in a high-quality, waterproof sticker that you will be able to use for a long time.

Hard/Soft Coolers

The Glide paddleboard has two storage areas on the front and back, allowing you to add either a hard or soft cooler. Bring your favorite drink out on the water with you! It’s so much easier to stay hydrated when you have a SUP Cooler with you! This is also recommended for paddlers who will be out on the water for several hours!

Paddle board lock

While paddle boarding is a relatively new sport, its popularity has exploded in recent years. With that increase in popularity, there has also been an increase in people looking for ways to protect their investments. A Paddleboard lock is one of the best ways to do that. There are a few different types of paddleboard locks on the market, but they all serve the same purpose – to keep your board safe from theft. The most important thing to look for in a lock is something that will be difficult for thieves to cut through or break.

Optional accessories (my must-haves – not included)

Here are two of my favorite accessories for this year. One for safety and one because I like to use my time wisely (like take pictures while my board inflates itself) πŸ˜‹

Difference between an Inflatable board and a Hard board

Advantages Inflatable board

  • Easy to take on holiday (even on the plane)
  • Easy to store in the winter days
  • Much cheaper
  • Technology has improved greatly over the past 10 years. For this reason, these boards are now almost hard to distinguish from hard boards

Advantages Hardboard

  • More speed, which is important if you are a professional
  • Easier to make sharp turns on the water because the board is thinner
  • No inflation needed, you can get on the water right away

Other reviews of the Glide Fishing Paddle Board Online

Judge.me: “I like the board itself. It will take a few months to see the water and demonstrate what it is worth. I was looking for a wide stable board for the self-supporting multiday travels and it looks like the good choice to me. I do have few questions regarding deck mounts for accessories though. Will try to follow up … what the front mounts can be used for except for the rod handles, likewise the rear mounts in case I am not planning to use the Glide cooler. Some elements are also not clear what for. Provided “backpack” seems heavier than the board itself and not too practical for outdoors. Nevertheless, I like the board and look forward to the next season.”

ubuy.mv: “Thank you very much for a great and quick service. I received the book in a brief period. Thank you again.”
