Elite construction - stiffness without excess weight
The Gladiator Elite series is built using high-density machine-woven dropstitch and Double Layer Woven PVC 1000D, reinforced with XStrong rails. This construction focuses on maximum rigidity and durability while keeping overall weight low.
On the water, this means reduced flex under load, cleaner glide and more predictable tracking during longer touring sessions.
Who is it for?
The Elite 12'6'' Touring is designed for riders up to around 100 kg who want a board for longer trips, regular touring and fitness paddling. The 381 cm length improves straight-line tracking and allows you to paddle longer on one side without constant correction.
With 81 cm width, the board offers a strong stability margin while maintaining efficient glide and paddling performance.
Machine Weave + Fusion and 22/26 PSI stiffness
Machine Weave technology combined with the Fusion process creates a torsionally rigid structure that remains lightweight. With 350 liters of volume, the board weighs just 9 kg, making transport and setup easier.
Maximum pressure is 26 PSI, while the recommended working pressure is up to 22 PSI to maintain a safe margin for temperature-related expansion. Higher stiffness results in less flex, improved glide and more consistent tracking over long straight sections.
Volume and rider range
The maximum rider weight is 140 kg, with an optimal range up to around 100 kg. The 15 cm thickness provides additional buoyancy and comfort under load, making the board stable and predictable even during longer outings.
Complete Elite package - ready to paddle
The set is complete and includes a wheeled transport backpack, a 3-piece 100% carbon paddle, a BRAVO double action pump, a fiberglass touring US-BOX fin, a leash and a repair kit with patches and fin screws. Once inflated, the board is ready to go.
