The Gladiator Elite LT 12'6" x 29" Touring Paddleboard Package is a lightweight, performance-focused inflatable touring SUP designed for shorter and lighter paddlers who want increased speed, efficient glide and excellent tracking over longer distances.
 
With its streamlined 12'6" touring outline, 29-inch width and 4.75-inch thickness, the Gladiator Elite LT delivers a fast and responsive paddling experience while remaining stable and easy to control. Its narrower profile helps reduce drag and improve efficiency, making it an excellent choice for fitness paddling, day touring and longer SUP adventures.
 
The lower-volume 4.75-inch construction is particularly well suited to lighter riders, helping the board sit naturally in the water for improved control and connection. Whether you're exploring lakes, rivers, canals and coastal routes or carrying equipment for a longer journey, the Elite LT combines premium construction with efficient touring performance.
 
Fast 12'6" Touring Shape
The Gladiator Elite LT features a 12'6" x 29" x 4.75" touring outline designed to maximise speed and glide. Its square tail provides a stable platform while maintaining responsive handling, making the board easy to control and manoeuvre.
 
The straight rail profile encourages a more vertical paddle stroke, helping improve straight-line tracking and reducing the need to continually switch the paddle from one side to the other.
This combination makes the Elite LT ideal for paddlers who want to travel further with less effort.
 
Lightweight Woven Dropstitch Construction
The Gladiator Elite uses premium machine-woven double-laminated dropstitch construction designed to provide excellent stiffness while keeping overall board weight low.
Compared with traditional knitted dropstitch construction, the woven structure has reduced material movement, helping create a rigid and responsive platform without compromising durability.
 
The result is a lightweight inflatable touring paddleboard that feels efficient and composed underfoot.
 
Triple Rail Edge Technology
Gladiator's triple rail edge construction uses a reinforced monocoque design that joins the upper and lower sections of the board before adding two additional layers around the rails.
 
This construction increases stiffness, limits unwanted flex and contributes to the board's premium refined nose profile. The reinforced rail design also allows the board to maintain its shape effectively when inflated to higher pressures.
 
Refined Nose for Speed and Glide
The refined nose profile helps the Elite LT cut efficiently through the water, improving glide and forward momentum while reducing resistance.
 
This performance-focused shape is particularly beneficial when covering longer distances and helps the board remain efficient when encountering chop or small waves.
 
Comfortable Crocodile Deck Pad
The double-cushioned crocodile-pattern deck pad provides excellent grip and comfort during longer paddling sessions. Its cushioned surface helps reduce fatigue underfoot while providing the traction needed for confident movement around the board.
 
Touring Cargo Storage
The Elite touring design features practical bungee cargo areas for securing equipment, dry bags, clothing and other essentials.
 
This additional carrying capacity makes the board ideal for day trips, longer touring routes and overnight SUP adventures, while also providing useful space when paddling with extra gear.
 
Premium Honeycomb Touring Fin
The Gladiator Elite includes a lightweight 9-inch resin and honeycomb touring fin designed for performance paddling.
 
Its hexagonal foam core reduces unnecessary resin while retaining stiffness where required, producing a medium-flex fin that provides a strong combination of tracking, responsiveness and efficient touring performance.
 
3-Piece Carbon Touring Paddle
The package includes a premium Gladiator Elite 3-piece carbon paddle with a full carbon shaft and touring-shaped carbon blade.
 
The lightweight construction helps reduce fatigue during longer paddling sessions, while the blade's water-release design supports a smooth and efficient paddle stroke. Its adjustable design accommodates different rider heights and separates into three sections for convenient storage inside the Gladiator SUP bag.
 
Easy-Carry Handle System
A comfortable padded central handle makes carrying the inflated board to and from the water easier. Flat webbing handles at the front and rear provide additional handling points while maintaining a clean and durable design.
 
Gladiator Wheeled SUP Backpack
The included Gladiator wheeled backpack features an oversized rectangular design that makes repacking the deflated board straightforward.
 
A durable zip, foil-lined interior for additional UV protection during storage and integrated Velcro storage for the backpack straps make the bag practical for travelling, transporting and storing your inflatable paddleboard.
 
Bravo SUPer Hand Pump
The included Bravo SUPer pump provides efficient inflation with a fixed hose design that helps minimise unwanted movement while pumping.
 
Removable handles and hinged feet allow the pump to pack down neatly for storage inside the paddleboard bag.
 
3-Year Warranty
The Gladiator Elite LT is backed by a 3-year warranty and combines woven double-laminated construction with triple rail edge technology to provide a lightweight, stiff and durable performance touring SUP.
 
For lighter paddlers looking to progress beyond a traditional all-round paddleboard, the Gladiator Elite LT 12'6 Touring Paddleboard offers an excellent combination of speed, glide, tracking and premium touring performance.
