Company Summary

A Slyde Handboard allows the surfer to “plane” up on the water while catching the wave giving them lift out of the water to increase speed and maneuverability. Such boards have been used by surfers for years, but never commercialized. In the last 5 years, the emerging market has grown rapidly. Slyde, already commercialized and growing through e-commerce, is ready to dramatically expand distribution in the US and other key surfing destinations.
