GLADIATOR ELITE 11'6" Touring SUP Board

Premium SUP board – speed, stability and excellent control

GLADIATOR ELITE 11'6" Touring is a high-quality premium SUP board that combines excellent stability with very good performance. Measuring 350 cm in length and 86 cm in width, it has been designed for both beginners and more experienced paddlers. It is an excellent choice for those who expect more speed than an all-around board can provide while still requiring a high level of stability.

The board is manufactured using Machine Woven Drop-Stitch technology, which uses a dense, stiff and lightweight thread construction. The drop-stitch threads are integrated into the PVC, increasing rigidity, while additional reinforcement of the edges with a third layer improves durability. The 15 cm thickness and maximum pressure of 22 PSI provide excellent stiffness and resistance to deformation.

Versatility and excellent performance

The GLADIATOR ELITE 11'6" Touring features a wide and relatively short shape for a touring board, offering an excellent balance between speed and stability. It is particularly well suited to beginners and heavier paddlers who need a larger surface area and predictable handling on the water.

Thanks to its touring design, this model offers:

• Higher speed than typical all-around boards
• Excellent stability thanks to its 86 cm width
• An ideal balance between performance and paddling comfort
• A large usable surface suitable for heavier paddlers
• Versatile performance for both beginners and advanced users

The maximum pressure of 22 PSI allows the board to achieve excellent rigidity, while the recommended pressure is 15–20 PSI, depending on weather conditions.

• Machine Woven Drop-Stitch technology providing high rigidity while maintaining low weight

SUP – water safety:

• Check the technical condition of the board and the weather forecast before going out on the water
• Wear a life jacket (and wear a helmet in shallow and rocky waters)
• Attach the board to your leg using the leash
• Do not paddle alone
• Do not leave the inflated board in direct sunlight when it is not being used on the water – reduce the pressure to approximately 6 PSI to prevent excessive pressure caused by air expansion as a result of heating
