The 11'2" GT — Grand Tourer — is one of O'Shea's most-praised boards. An excellent entry into touring and downwind adventures, equally suited to intermediate and experienced paddlers, or to those starting out with an adventurous outlook. Perfectly at home on the river or for an ocean expedition. Efficient, stable rocker for effortless glide.

What the SUP press say:

"The GT's a versatile bit of kit that'll take entry-level SUPers on their first forays but allow experienced paddlers to enjoy stand up across a broader spectrum of conditions — all without breaking the bank. Whether beginner, intermediate or advanced you're certain to find a SUP application the GT fits." — Stand Up Paddle Mag UK

Available in three constructions: QSx (£399.95 entry, Quad Stringer Tech), HDx (full double-wall MIRASOL PVC), HPx (top-tier light/stiff with heat-welded seams and 5-year warranty).

Who it's for

Paddlers wanting one board that does Allround duty AND covers genuine touring distance. Anyone who's outgrown the standard 10'2"/10'6" and wants more glide. Riders who do mixed-purpose paddling — sometimes mooching, sometimes heading somewhere.

Honest advice from us

The 11'2" GT is the smartest single-board choice in the O'Shea range for many paddlers — versatile enough to handle Allround needs without giving up the glide of a dedicated tourer. If you're heavier or specifically focused on long-distance touring, look at the 11'6" GTB or the 12'+ HPx tourers. Call 01492 588001 if you'd like a steer.

Warranty

QSx and HDx 2025/26 models come with 1 year warranty, extendable to 5 years on registration. HPx 2025/26 also extendable to 5 years. Register your purchase here.
