Introduced for 2026, the Glide X OC1 is a refined evolution of the trusted Swift platform—designed to elevate your paddling from day one.

Built for beginner to intermediate paddlers, the Glide X strikes the perfect balance between stability and performance. It’s forgiving enough to build confidence early, yet responsive enough to sharpen technique as your skills progress. Whether you’re cruising flatwater or stepping into moderate ocean conditions, this outrigger adapts with ease.

The Glide X isn’t just a starter canoe—it’s a progression platform. Designed to grow with you over 2–3 years, it delivers a smooth, predictable ride while introducing the responsiveness needed to develop efficient stroke mechanics and boat control.

If you’re looking for one OC1 to start strong and progress fast, the Glide X is your next move.

  • Design Evolution: Building on the Swift's foundation, the Glide X incorporates practical improvements that matter on the water
  • Simplified Seat Adjustment: The foam seat now uses a velcro adjustment system, replacing the previous track mechanism. This streamlined approach allows quick, tool-free positioning to dial in your ideal paddling stance.
  • Standardized Iakos (Aku): Both front and rear iakos now share identical dimensions and design, constructed from robust 30mm black anodized aluminium. This standardization simplifies assembly, reduces spare parts inventory, and ensures consistent performance across the canoe.
  • Versatile Spring-Loaded System: The 5-height spring-loaded adjustment system provides precise lateral inclination control, allowing paddlers of varying weights and skill levels to optimize hull performance for their specific needs and ocean conditions.
  • Performance Character: The Glide X strikes an exceptional balance between speed and manoeuverability. Responsive handling makes downwind runs engaging and accessible, while the hull's design maintains composure across varying ocean conditions—from flat water training to challenging offshore swells.
  • Built to Last: Durability meets performance through quality construction: high-grade epoxy gelcoat finish combined with carbon fibre reinforcement plates at critical Aku attachment points ensure long-term reliability under demanding saltwater conditions.
  • Universal Appeal: Designed to accommodate paddlers across a broad weight range without sacrificing performance characteristics, the Glide X offers versatility that grows with your skills and ambitions.
