Product Description
2020 12'6 GLIDE X27" WOOD
Featuring our authentic wood construction, the Glide series looks as good as the shapes perform. Excellent glide and stability combine to deliver smooth performance for touring your local waterway or setting out on more exciting excursions.
Available in two widths in the 12’6 (27” & 29”) & 14’ sizes (26” & 28”), for 2020 we set out to make subtle refinements to the high-quality OXBOW Glide Touring range.
The nose shape has been refined for cleaner entry into the water, and a smoother penetration of chops and bumps. To add glide between strokes, the volume has been slightly increased from just behind the nose to the standing area.
Finally, the deck has been reshaped at the tail to facilitate better water drainage at the back of the board. The 2020 version of the Glide Wood delivers improved glide and stability, giving you more fun and less fatigue on all your outings and excursions.

Our C-TEC “Custom”-Technology was developed to create the ultimate light weight, high-performance boards while maintaining good impact resistance. The success of this construction is due to the combination of Carbon-Innegra weave fabric* throughout the entire board together with a light weight low density foam core. A brushed white finish provides added durability, protection from overheating in the sun and reduced weight.
*Carbon-Innegra fabric blends the lightweight and stiffness of carbon with the durability and waterproof impact resistance of Innegra.

OXBOW SUP
Oxbow is the name for a river that takes a meandering path on its journey to the ocean. Born in the mid-1980’s in Normandy, France, the Oxbow brand found inspiration in this idea – a desire to wander and an understanding that life is about the journey, not the destination. Choosing nature and the relationship with the ocean as it founding value, the brand puts emphasis on the quality of its products and the pleasure they bring, providing new twists on fashion with an unconventional approach.
Oxbow developed alongside some of watersports greatest athletes, such as Laird Hamilton, pioneer of tow-in surfing, kitesurf, foilsurfing and stand-up paddle surfing. For 30 years, Oxbow has never stopped exploring new territories and supporting riders in pursuit of their passions.
The early 2000s saw the emergence and incredible growth of Stand Up Paddle, a new sport born from the convergence of these waves of enthusiasm. Oxbow has lent its support and experience to many top riders and events that have given visibility and an enduring legacy to the sport, including Laird Hamilton, pioneer of tow-in surfing, kitesurf, foilsurfing and stand-up paddle surfing. For 30 years, Oxbow has never stopped exploring new territories and supporting riders in pursuit of their passions.
