This 11'2 board has been specifically engineered and designed for the shorter rider (under 5'6) who wants an allround performance board. This board is 4.7" thick, which is very important to most riders but extremely key to the shorter, lighter rider, as this thickness and board volume allow the board to sit within the waterline creating stability. This paddle board is great for older kids wanting their own board and with a max weight of 100kg this board is also great for any riders who want to catch a small wave.
Machine Woven dropstitch for minimum weight. The Elite boards are for people who desire the best.
The Gladiator Elite range are made with the new, worlds most advanced machine woven dropstitch, offering a board that's even stiffer with no compromise on durability. The weave has less give than the traditional knitted method, which gives superior flex and rigidity. The double laminated fusion material of 1000 den substrate adds to the stiffness, whilst keeping the board incredibly lightweight; 20% lighter and stiffer than fusion layer boards. Gladiator have reinforced the models with triple Xstrong edge innovative technology. The new technology allows Gladiator to add to the ‘solid’ board effect. Thanks to its design and manufacturing method the super-strong edge becomes an integral part of the SUP board, as a result, the board offers even more rigidity, glide and performance with the added bonus that the thinner edge looks stunning whilst offering a 'refined nose' which allows the board to push through chop and waves to a higher level.
