I dont really know big gliders, but like I said, Lizzy has amazing glide and ridiculous speed even at 7'7" and larger iterations have been super successful from what i've read...
The other guy making amazing larger gliders is Josh Hall so i'd check him out as well as he's coming to Aus later this year and his stuff is unique and amazing, trained with Skipp
Addition: There's a guy down here with really nice Gato 10" that seems to go real nice, might be worth checking out
Just wanted to clarify, that Donald's DT-1 Speed Shape is definitely not a "glider". It's a longboard with a pulled in outline for bigger/pushier waves that can be surfed very hard off the tail if the rider is so inclined. You can obviously stand there and trim if you like, but they are definitely made to be surfed off the tail quite a bit harder than your standard pulled in glider.
So this beauty turned up just before I went to Indo!....anyway back and waxed up ready to roll. I'm kinda waiting for my local right hand reef to light up to christen it....hopefully a swell next week!
I am not sure which is more impressive the board or the wax job..... Looking forward to the ride report
