The Gladiator Elite 11'6" x 34" x 5.9" Performance All Round Hybrid Paddleboard is a premium inflatable SUP designed for heavier and larger paddlers who want exceptional stability without sacrificing speed, glide or manoeuvrability.
With its generous 34-inch width, 5.9-inch thickness and performance-focused 11'6" outline, the Gladiator Elite provides a stable, high-volume platform for confident paddling. Its longer shape delivers efficient forward glide, while straight rails and a refined nose improve tracking and performance over longer distances.
Whether you're exploring lakes, rivers and coastal waters, heading out on longer recreational paddles or carrying additional equipment, the Gladiator Elite 11'6 delivers an excellent combination of stability, efficiency and versatile all-round performance.
Designed for Heavier and Larger Riders
The 34-inch width creates a reassuringly stable platform, while the 5.9-inch thickness provides the additional volume needed to support larger paddlers and extra equipment.
Unlike a traditional wide all-round SUP, the elongated 11'6" profile maintains efficient glide and tracking, allowing riders to cover longer distances without giving up manoeuvrability.
Performance All-Round Shape
The 11'6" x 34" x 5.9" outline features a rounded tail for smooth handling, stability and easy turning.
Straight rails encourage a more vertical paddle stroke, helping the board travel efficiently in a straight line and reducing the need to frequently switch paddle sides.
This makes the Elite 11'6 suitable for recreational paddling, fitness sessions, longer-distance adventures and varied water conditions.
Premium Woven Dropstitch Construction
The Gladiator Elite uses machine-woven double-laminated dropstitch construction engineered to provide exceptional stiffness while keeping board weight lower than comparable traditional constructions.
The woven structure reduces material movement, helping create a rigid and responsive paddling platform while maintaining excellent durability.
Triple Rail Edge Technology
Gladiator's Triple Rail Edge technology uses reinforced monocoque construction, joining the upper and lower sections of the board before adding two additional layers around the rails.
This reinforced design helps minimise flex, increase rigidity and maintain the board's shape at higher inflation pressures. It also contributes to the refined nose profile found throughout the Gladiator Elite range.
Refined Nose for Efficient Glide
The refined nose is designed to move smoothly through the water, improving glide and helping the board maintain momentum over longer distances.
Its streamlined profile is particularly beneficial when encountering chop and small waves, providing efficient water entry and more controlled performance.
Double-Cushioned Crocodile Deck Pad
The double-cushioned crocodile-pattern deck pad provides excellent grip and comfort during longer paddling sessions.
Its supportive surface helps reduce fatigue underfoot while maintaining secure footing when manoeuvring or changing position on the board.
Practical Cargo Storage
The asymmetric bungee cargo system provides convenient space for securing dry bags, clothing, water and other paddling essentials.
This practical storage makes the Gladiator Elite 11'6 well suited to longer outings where additional equipment needs to be carried.
Easy-Carry Handle System
A thick padded central carry handle makes transporting the inflated paddleboard more comfortable.
Flat webbing handles at the front and rear provide additional carrying and handling points while maintaining a clean and durable design.
Premium Honeycomb Touring Fin
The Gladiator Elite features 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, creating a medium-flex fin that supports efficient tracking and responsive handling.
3-Piece Carbon Paddle
The Gladiator Elite 3-piece carbon paddle features a full carbon shaft and touring-shaped carbon blade for lightweight, efficient paddling.
Its reduced weight helps minimise fatigue during longer sessions, while the touring blade supports a smooth and effective paddle stroke. The adjustable three-piece design accommodates different rider heights and packs conveniently for transport.
Gladiator Wheeled SUP Backpack
The Gladiator wheeled backpack features an oversized rectangular design that makes repacking the deflated paddleboard easier.
A durable zip, foil-lined interior for additional UV protection during storage and an integrated Velcro system for securing the backpack straps make it practical for travel and storage.
Bravo SUPer Hand Pump
The Bravo SUPer pump provides efficient inflation with a fixed hose design that helps reduce unwanted movement during pumping.
Removable handles and hinged feet allow the pump to pack down neatly alongside the paddleboard and accessories.
3-Year Warranty
The Gladiator Elite is backed by a 3-year warranty, providing additional confidence in its premium construction and durability.
Combining a stable 34-inch platform with performance-oriented shaping, premium woven construction and high-quality accessories, the Gladiator Elite 11'6 Performance All Round Paddleboard is an excellent choice for heavier riders seeking stability, glide and versatility from a premium inflatable SUP.
