Find out more about what makes the Gladiator Origin, Pro & Elite inflatable paddleboards so great. Click the links below.
  • Gladiator boards have been designed by pioneering sports people who understand how the shape of the board influences stability. Long side rails and a wide tail with the widest point where the rider stands, create a stable shape that glides through the water in a straight line, perfect for beginners to advanced paddlers, whether SUP surfing, touring or playing with the kids.

  • Gladiator paddleboards offer 2 thicknesses within their board ranges - 4.7" and 5.9"
    4.7" dropstitch offers riders under 85 kilo's a material that allows the rider to be anchored within the waterline with a stiff and stable board.
    The 5.9" dropstitch offers heavier riders over 80k kilos and riders surpassing 137 kilos a board that also supports their weight and with more volume.

  • Gladiators are engineered to be rigid and stable and to be as thin as possible at the same time. This is accomplished through Xstrong rail edge tech, alongside the double laminated premium dropstitch with the reinforced textile substrate.
    Gladiator Origin uses double laminated fusion dropstitch with Xstrong double rail edge tech whilst Pro uses double laminated fusion dropstitch with Xstrong triple rail edge and the Elite uses double laminated weave technology with Xstrong triple rail edge.
    More about the Xstrong Triple Rail Edge Technology-
    The Xstrong triple rail edge is a premium technology used only by a few premium brands worldwide, boards that use triple rail edge technology look thinner from the side profile as the strong edge tech uses a thin rail design, this technology also allows the rail be to stiffer and allows the dropstitch material to curve in such a way that it causes a 'refined nose shape' which is highly praised by paddleboarding experts for the way this specific nose design pushes through choppy water.

  • All Gladiator boards within the Origin, Pro and Elite range feature 3 carry handles, 1 on the front of the board, 1 on the back and 1 in the middle for easy carrying, allowing families and children to carry the board easily together and allowing riders to have more carrying points for longer day paddling where more handles are needed for easy portaging.
