Good times. Gigantic tsunami. Goofy-footed two-hander. Yeah, we're not sure what GT stands for either. What we are sure of is that it's perfect for paddlers who seek a great downriver boat with a planing hull for spinning and surfing. The chines fall between forgiveness and control in tech water plus we pumped up the volume for an oh-so-comfy ride in the big water. The hull speed is smokin' and is spot-on for entry-level paddlers or big water specialists alike. And all this can be yours - even the super stiff D Bone Subframe - and that shining star of a Performance Fit System, featuring Precision adjustable thigh braces, the new Flipswitch backband, rebound seat pad and still new six-way adjustable AirCore hip pads. Stump your local dealer and ask 'em what GT stands for.
