GLIDE: the boat that changed the rules!

Not everyone wants to be a world champion freestyle kayaker. For many, kayaking is simply about enjoying the river. Big volume rivers, or small rocky ones. Rivers with giant racing waves, or small poor-over ledges. Jump in a hole, and it’ll cartwheel and loop. Jump on a wave and it’ll blunt and helix. Jump on a fun little class 3-4 creek and you're looking at every splat rock like you're going on a smear campaign!.

The Disco is one of the most iconic designs ever to be produced. It was undoubtably THE game changer that completely changed playboating and freestyle kayaking. While it was not the first "short" kayak, the Disco was the ideal mix of all the parameters that made it the success it was.

The 2017 Peño has been completely recreated to be the best park and play inflatable on the market. Whether it’s a long, fast wave or a steep, thrashy hole, the Peño will dominate like no other freestyle surfer. With design inspiration from new school river SUPs and a playboat kayak, the Hala Peño has a tip-to- tail full rocker that keeps the nose from pearling while surfing and is the only high volume inflatable river surfer that also supplies 3” low volume rails with our patent-pending DoubleStack™ construction. Ride the thinnest railed inflatable that will carve, perform and freestyle like a hardboard.

A smaller version of the Hala Gram, the Milligram has a similar look with more spunk. Step on this board with confidence that this little buddy is ready to shred the river or ocean! You’ll fit into ridiculously small pockets, handle the whitewater, and be able to crossover into surfing short, snappy ocean waves. And the new nut shape makes this board insanely responsive. The Milligram is a feisty little 7 footer that surfs like a 5 footer and is packed full of grit for unbeatable surfing.

Meet the new playmaster of the river! It slices & dices every drop of water with a super-low volume, high-performance bow & stern.

If you have pre-existing skills, this is the ultimate mix of wave, hole, flatwater and eddy line fun. Two sizes will cover most paddlers. You too will be a MixMaster with this boat!
