The 12'0" GTX HPx is O'Shea's dedicated touring board — designed for those seeking adventure on the open ocean or with destination targets in mind. Ultra-light at just 9.5 kg board weight, with the innovative HPx construction making it 20% lighter than Fusion or MSL constructions without compromising on durability.

The low profile and long length deliver enhanced glide and speed, with excellent stability in both ocean and river environments. Heat-welded seam technology gives stronger seams and an enhanced cosmetic finish.

For paddlers who've decided distance is the goal — proper estuary and coastal touring, point-to-point sessions, expedition-style days. Long enough to track straight, narrow enough to glide, wide enough that you're not constantly fighting balance.

Who it's for

Touring paddlers wanting a stable but efficient distance board. Heavier riders who'd find narrower tourers (12'6" GTS at 32" or GTR at 29") feel twitchy. Anyone progressing into proper touring without going to a full race-shape board.

Honest advice from us

The 34" width makes the GTX the most stable of O'Shea's tourers — a smart pick for anyone new to distance paddling, or for riders 90kg+ who want a tourer that doesn't feel tippy. Call 01492 588001 if you'd like to talk through which tourer suits you.

Warranty
