Elite construction - lighter and stiffer
The Gladiator Elite range is built around high-density machine-woven dropstitch and Double Layer Woven PVC on a durable 1000D base, reinforced with XStrong rails. This construction reduces weight while increasing structural rigidity compared to standard fusion builds.
On the water, this translates into direct paddle response, reduced flex and more efficient glide - especially noticeable during longer paddling sessions.
Who is it for?
The Elite 11'2'' belongs to the allround performance category. At 340 cm in length and 76 cm in width, it offers a balanced mix of maneuverability, tracking and stability.
It works best for lighter riders up to around 75 kg (maximum load 90 kg) who want a board for lakes, calm rivers and sheltered coastal waters - suitable for relaxed touring as well as regular fitness paddling.
Machine Weave + Fusion and 22/26 PSI stiffness
The Machine Weave core combined with Fusion technology creates a stiff yet lightweight structure. The board weighs just 10 kg and offers 280 liters of volume with a 12 cm thickness.
Maximum construction pressure is 26 PSI, while the recommended working pressure is 22 PSI to maintain a safe margin for temperature-related pressure increase. Higher stiffness means less flex, improved glide and more predictable tracking over distance.
Deck comfort and usability
The deck features a non-slip EVA footpad for secure grip and comfort during longer sessions. The board remains easy to handle, stable when stepping on, and responsive during direction changes.
Complete Elite package - ready to paddle
The set is complete and includes a wheeled transport backpack, a 3-piece 100% carbon Gladiator RACE paddle, a manual double action pump, a fiberglass US-BOX fin, a leash and a repair kit with patches and fin screws. Once inflated, you are ready to get on the water.
