OVERVIEW
The Gladiator Elite 12’6 is for those who want to up their game from an all-round board. The 12’6 touring board provides extra glide and speed whilst still being easy to paddle. The 12’6 Elite comes in 2 widths, 30″ wide for the more proficient paddler wanting even more speed and 32″ wide for the paddler wanting a great leisure paddling experience with more stability but with a slightly slower glide. These 2 boards come with front and back cargo loops so you can enjoy strapping all your kit to the board ready for any adventure, whether it be a paddling with your dog or child sat on the front, or a fully loaded board ready for an overnight adventure. The 12’6 also comes with a bendy touring fin ready for any low tide or rock even lity. The Gladiator Elite Range are made with the new, worlds most advanced woven dropstitch, offering a board thats even stiffer with no compromise on durability. The weave has less give than the traditional knitted method, which gives the superior flex and rigidity. The 2 layer sandwich of 1000 den substrate adds to the stiffness, whilst keeping the board incredibly lightweight. For 2020, we have reinforced the models with Xstrong edge innovative technology. The new technology allows us to add to the ‘solid’ board effect. Thanks to its design and manufacturing method the narrow 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.. The Elite has everything and more. A minimum weight and a focus on detail gives those striving for perfection – ‘SUP Perfection’.
