Glide SUP: Want a high-performance, American-made SUP Board that screams
quality and value? If the answer is yes, we welcome you to join the
thriving ecosystem of Glide enthusiasts across the country and globe -the SUP
buyers, dealers, retailers and team riders whose passion and loyalty have fueled
our rapid growth and made us the fastest growing manufacturer of SUP boards in
the world..
But none of this means much of anything in the absence of product value. “Made in the USA” wilts in the market if it comes at a premium cost. Glide boards outperform and outlast other SUP brands by order of magnitude, and at price points that are in line with (and oftentimes lower) than the vast majority of the competition.
And we’ve got a board for every type of paddling you’re looking to do: recreational flat-water, high adrenaline whitewater, surf, race, yoga—you name it. We even make multipurpose boards that do it all. www.glidesup.com
Osprey: Our mission is to create innovative high performance gear that reflects our love of adventure and our devotion to the outdoors. We succeed when we meet the demanding expectation of our most discerning customers and they are proud to use our packs
Osprey is 40 years young! I fondly recall the moment I selected "Osprey" for the new company, way back in 1974. At that time this beautiful bird was an endangered species and I thought, if that bird can survive the next few tough years, so can this new company! Like the bird, Osprey Packs has flourished since then, and continues to grow
and multiply. Over all these years, we at Osprey have had the pleasure to meet and work with some of the finest, warmest people involved in this wonderful, friendly industry. We are indebted to all of you out there who have supported Osprey along the way, through thick and thin, and have made the last 40 years so fun and rewarding!
