Slyde Handboards is a bodysurfing and water sports company.[1][2] It was founded in 2010 by Steve Watts and later joined by co-founder Angela Watts.[3][4] It was the first company to sell hand-built epoxy designed handboards with a hand-strap.[5][6]

Slyde secured a round of funding on the seventh season of Shark Tank from Ashton Kutcher and Mark Cuban.[7][8][9] Kutcher and Cuban invested $200,000 in exchange for 22% equity of the company.[10][11][12] Slyde's products are also a part of Mark Cuban's Amazon Exclusives.[13]
