Elite construction - stiffness and low weight with Machine Weave
The Gladiator Elite range features machine-woven dropstitch combined with Double Layer Woven PVC 1000D, reinforced along the rails with the XStrong system. This structure reduces flex, improves paddle response and keeps the overall weight impressively low for a 14' board.
On the water, this translates into cleaner glide, better tracking and higher efficiency on long, straight sections.
Who is it for and what type of paddling?
The Elite 14'0 Touring is built for riders who want to paddle further and faster rather than just staying close to shore. The 427 cm length provides excellent tracking and allows you to paddle longer on one side without constantly correcting your line.
With a width of 76 cm, the board maintains solid stability without sacrificing speed - ideal for lakes, longer river stretches and calm coastal conditions.
Maximum load capacity is 130 kg, while the optimal rider weight is around 100 kg for the best balance between stability and performance.
Machine Weave + Fusion and 22/26 PSI stiffness
The Machine Weave + Fusion technology creates a highly rigid, torsion-resistant structure that holds its shape even at higher pressure. Despite its 360-liter volume, the board weighs just 10.6 kg, making it surprisingly manageable for its size.
Maximum pressure is 26 PSI, while the recommended working pressure up to 22 PSI provides a safe margin for warmer days. Higher stiffness means less flex, better glide and more consistent speed over longer distances.
Comfort and control on deck
The deck is covered with non-slip EVA foam, providing secure footing and comfort during longer sessions. The extended outline promotes smooth glide and rhythm - perfect for building mileage without fighting the board.
Complete Elite set - ready to paddle
The set is complete and includes a premium wheeled backpack, a 3-piece 100% carbon paddle, a BRAVO double action hand pump, a touring fiberglass fin in the US-BOX system, a leash and a repair kit with patches and fin screws. Once inflated, you are ready to head straight to the water.
