The Gladiator Origin LT 12'6" x 29" Paddleboard Kit is a lightweight inflatable touring SUP designed for shorter and lighter paddlers, as well as more experienced riders who prefer speed and efficiency over maximum stability.
Featuring a slim 29-inch width and 4.7-inch thickness, the Origin LT provides a lower-volume, responsive feel that helps lighter paddlers maintain better connection and control on the water. Its streamlined 12'6" touring shape delivers excellent glide and efficient tracking, making it ideal for covering longer distances with less effort.
Whether you're paddling on lakes, rivers, canals or sheltered coastal waters, the Gladiator Origin LT offers an excellent combination of speed, manoeuvrability, tracking and touring performance.
Designed for Lighter and Shorter Paddlers
Many inflatable touring paddleboards use thicker, higher-volume constructions that can feel oversized for smaller riders. The Gladiator Origin LT uses a 4.7-inch profile to create a more appropriately proportioned platform for lighter paddlers.
The lower profile helps the board sit naturally in the water while the 29-inch width delivers a faster, more responsive feel. It is also a great choice for confident paddlers who have good balance and want to prioritise touring speed.
Fast 12'6" Touring Shape
The 12'6" x 29" x 4.7" outline features a square tail that provides a practical balance of speed, glide and stability.
Its straight rail shape encourages a more vertical paddle stroke, helping improve straight-line tracking and reducing unnecessary paddle changes from side to side. This efficient design makes the board particularly well suited to fitness sessions, day touring and longer-distance SUP adventures.
Double-Laminated Fusion Construction
The Gladiator Origin LT uses double-laminated fusion technology with a two-layer sandwich of 1000D textile substrate between layers of PVC.
This construction creates a durable and rigid inflatable paddleboard while maintaining a manageable overall weight of approximately 10kg, making the board easier to transport both on and off the water.
Comfortable Crocodile Deck Pad
The Gladiator crocodile-pattern deck pad provides secure grip and comfortable footing during longer paddling sessions.
Its textured surface helps paddlers maintain a confident stance when paddling, turning or moving around the board.
Touring Cargo Storage
The asymmetric bungee cargo system provides practical storage for dry bags, clothing, water and other paddling essentials.
Front and rear storage capacity makes the Origin LT suitable for longer day trips and touring adventures where carrying additional equipment is essential.
Easy-Carry Handle System
A thick padded central carry handle makes transporting the inflated board to and from the water more comfortable.
Flat webbing handles at the front and rear provide additional handling points while maintaining a clean and durable design.
Universal Fin System
The Gladiator Origin LT comes with a durable Gladiator fin and 198mm universal fin box.
The shortened fin box helps make the deflated board easier to roll and pack while maintaining compatibility with alternative fins, including shorter river fins where appropriate.
3-Piece Fibreglass Paddle
The included Gladiator Origin 3-piece paddle combines a fibreglass shaft with a durable nylon blade for a lightweight and practical paddling setup.
The adjustable shaft accommodates different rider heights, while the three-piece design allows the paddle to pack neatly inside the Gladiator backpack for transport and storage.
Gladiator Origin Backpack
The included Gladiator Origin backpack features an oversized rectangular design that makes repacking the deflated SUP 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 transporting and storing your paddleboard.
Bravo Double Action Pump
The included Bravo double-action hand pump provides efficient inflation. It can be switched from double-action to single-action mode as board pressure increases, making it easier to reach the recommended 20 PSI.
3-Year Warranty
The Gladiator Origin LT is backed by a 3-year warranty, providing additional confidence in its construction and durability.
For lighter riders or confident paddlers looking for a narrower touring SUP, the Gladiator Origin LT 12'6 Touring Paddleboard delivers an excellent combination of speed, glide, responsive handling and long-distance efficiency in a complete inflatable paddleboard package.
