Things insanely fast easy to whip around and trims for days. i feel its not often talked about. took a chance with it and i ride it way more than i do my other gliders at beach breaks because i feel way more comfortable when things get dicy on it |

I'm waiting for my number to be called and was going to order this exact size. Click to expand... I asked Dane to shape it as close to the original speed demon roots as possible, believe he called it the "torpedo" because the nose would just shoot under the water when noseriding and resurface in trim. Anyway, this was the result. What I got was the biggest trade off/aggressive board that I've ever ridden. Super good on clean, higher tide days where you can trim and get up to the nose. He kept as close to a flat rocker as per glider fashion. Rails have a sharp edge towards the bottom which runs the whole rail of the board and rolls into a subtle hull that runs 2/3rds aft of the board, single concave in the nose for noseriding. Very straight rails/flat deck, board sits right in the water, not on top. This board when in the right conditions is amazing, so quick and the acceleration is unreal right in the curl of the wave. Turning the board is ok when pivoting but very hard to turn anywhere after a few feet from the rear. I would not recommend this board (mine in particular) as a glider only board. This thing is a phenomenally fast board at the 9-10' range, and noserides pretty damn well for what it is. BUT if you had to get a speed demon glider here is my recommendation. 1. The speed demon is already so damn fast, I don't think you're getting any crazy speed bumps going anything larger than 10'6". If I had it made again, I'd go shorter and pull in the tail (like the tail on Danes 11'10") so it doesn't feel like I'm trying to turn a 18 wheeler. 2. Lighter weight for the glider size. I went 666 with classic foam, I am heavier (200 lbs) and I go heavy on my boards but I would've gone lighter on the glass schedule/or go with a green blank. The board feels solid in hand but is too heavy for the design, it feels like it wants to accelerate faster in trim but is… |

Most treasured glider in the stash tho is this 12’ eagle circa ‘89. All of that said, I grab my long fish / FS type gliders more often then not.

I'd be adding this as a more noserider friendly board but in a big guy size, that also has some wave finding benefits of a glider size. Would be adding it to a Josh Hall Eagle and Michael Miller Nozzle, so probably makes more sense in the 10'6 size you suggested to not overlap. Might reach out again in the future to pick your brain a bit. Click to expand... Always happy to answer any questions about the board/build. But yea 10-10'6" range for a noseglider type of board would be perfect for a bigger guy. Keep that Speed Demon shape but a bit more rider friendly for everyday surfing. At 11' and up I'm only noseriding it in perfect situations. Although, I know Dane built his 11'10" for noseriding so what do I know. I'm sure the pulled in tail helps a lot on a board like that. |

Being the glider addict that I am, and based on my definition of a glider, I totally agree with Rick on the compromise length of 10'6" although I am sure he has more brain cells than me. Which shaper and model is a much harder question for me to answer, although IMO, you could not go wrong with an Andreini, Arenal, Eavey, Frye, Mabile, Miller, Mitsven, or Phillips and I am sure there other shapers out there that would fit the bill as well. |

I'd say at least 11'. At least to really feel the glide as a heavier guy. Not just to go fast, but to smooth out the ride. I definitely don't think of anything under 10'6" as a glider. Skip called them "big boards" for a reason. As to that one glider, I haven't found it yet. I got a chance to ride a few waves on a 12' Roger Hinds a couple years ago and I liked it a lot. Unfortunately, I have nowhere to store something that size. |

After I got the chance to try a couple 11'+ gliders, I realized it was just a qualitatively different experience. I never really got that sensation of speed; it wasn't much different than a pintail longboard. Maybe it would work differently for a less. . .hefty surfer than myself (and I hope the new owner is enjoying it). I've actually gotten the glider feel more from my 10'6" Eavey twin keel, despite having much less volume and not catching waves nearly as well (for me at my current weight, at least). But on days I can get that one going down the line, it feels like it's flying. |
