The Tide is a speed-12 Westside distance driver rated 12/6/-0.5/3, released in 2025. High glide, a little turn and a firm fade suit players who want distance with a dependable finish. Players with slower arms who want a straight-finishing driver should look elsewhere. Westside pitches it on glide and balanced stability, for long fairways and shaped shots. Early throwers on Disc Golf Course Review in 2025 found it flips up easily at first and then finishes with a strong fade. The PDGA approved the Tide on 17 March 2025 (25-39), and Westside's store listed the first VIP run in June 2025. Its stamp story retells the Kalevala's creation myth, in which a duck's broken eggs become the sky, the earth, the sun and the clouds; its Finnish name is Vuorovesi, and the stamp art is by Niklas Karbin Hedqvist (2025). Try Discs lists it in VIP, VIP Moonshine and Tournament as of October 2026. On our comparison table its nearest matches are the Dynamic Discs Trespass and the Clash Discs Sage.

Try Discs adds up reviews from six disc golf stores, so you see what players think across stores, not just at one shop. Reviews are great for spotting proven, popular discs. Take the details with a grain of salt, though: runs, plastics and skill level all change how a disc flies, so your experience may vary.
