The Mid Length Glider compresses the lines of a typical 9-10ft glider shape into a mid-length genre” says Hayden Cox.

“Paddling fast, the ML Glider will ride sensitively from rail to rail, and allow you to hold fast lines in small and larger waves. I designed the longer sizes in the model range 7’7”-8’7” to ride more true to a glider, and the 6’7”-7’1” to have a more forgiving and curved outline for versatility in smaller conditions. The feedback from everyone that’s ridden one has been overwhelmingly positive. It’s a feeling in the ride that’s truly different from a lot of the models in Haydenshapes’ lineup, one that’s somehow very addictive in average surf—up to better quality waves, though, too. Don’t just take our word for it, though. Hayden made Craig Anderson one of the first and Ando’s been riding the ML Glider here and there. We caught up with Craig and got a quick little interview with him on this new shape and what he loves most about it…”
