The Long Glide

“Still glides the Stream, and shall for ever glide; The Form remains, the Function never dies.” William Wordsworth.

- Finn Mullen

The art of the glide transcends the normal lines of demarcation in boardsports. How we propel our boards may have different forms, but it’s the glide that unites us as we seek to overcome gravity and friction in the pursuit of pleasure. Every form that board riding takes and evolves into, still comes back to its core - the glide - and it’s the long form of the glide that we look into this issue.
