Tide Race say: "The Xplore_X is the largest volume kayak in the Tiderace fleet. Sharing the same design brief as the Xplore, the X features increased width, height and cockpit size over the regular model. This increase in volume allows paddlers who are larger in stature to have a useable, comfortable multi-day touring boat without losing the performance associated with the Tiderace range.

For a paddler looking for a suitable multi-week/month expedition boat, the Xplore_X features enough volume to load supplies and equipment far beyond that provided by regular expedition boats.

Within 6 months of launch, the value of the X had already been proven by becoming the first production kayak to complete the crossing from Scotland to the Faroe Islands with Patrick Winterton and completing a 3200km journey down the coast of Norway with James Baxter. The X will undoubtably go on to be the serious expeditioner's sea kayak of choice."
