Glide O2 Quest

While it is a fantastic board, its 30-inch width and tapered touring shape make it slightly less stable than wider, all-around boards. It is best suited for intermediate paddlers or beginners who are athletic and comfortable balancing on a narrower platform.

The ThermoFuse heat-welded rail construction bonds the PVC layers together at a molecular level, creating a stronger, more permanent seal than traditional glue. This makes the board significantly more durable and less prone to seam leaks over time.

Yes, the board includes a detachable kayak seat and a versatile paddle, allowing you to switch between standing and sitting. With 16 D-rings, you have plenty of anchor points to secure the seat and any extra gear you might need for a longer trip.

Absolutely. The AeroMatrix drop-stitch core creates a very stiff platform that resists flexing under load. At 12.5 feet long, it is designed specifically to maintain speed and tracking efficiency on longer paddles.

The board weighs 20.8 lbs, which is quite manageable for an inflatable of this size. To make transport even easier, it comes with a wheeled backpack, so you can roll it to the water rather than carrying it on your back.

The O2 Quest has a weight capacity of 400 lbs. This high capacity ensures the board remains stable and performs well even when carrying extra cargo for overnight trips or fitness gear.
