The Gladiator Elite 12'6 x 29" x 4.7" has been designed for lighter riders looking for a high-performance touring paddleboard.
As part of Gladiator's Elite touring range, the 12'6 x 29" sits alongside the 12'6 x 30" and 12'6 x 32" models, allowing paddlers to choose a board that suits their height, weight, and paddling style.
Measuring 29" wide and built with a 4.7" construction, the 12'6 x 29" provides lower volume, delivering exceptional control, responsiveness, and paddling efficiency for riders under approximately 90 kg. Sitting lower in the waterline also reduces the effects of crosswinds and chop, creating a more planted, confidence-inspiring ride. The 12'6 x 30" is designed for the majority of paddlers, while taller or heavier riders should consider the 12'6 x 32", ensuring every rider can choose a board designed around their build.
Constructed using Gladiator's advanced machine-woven dropstitch technology, the Elite range delivers exceptional stiffness and efficiency whilst reducing overall board weight. Combined with Gladiator's Triple Rail Edge construction, the result is a highly responsive board that feels fast, stable, and confidence-inspiring on the water.
Designed for flat water, choppy conditions, rivers, and coastal touring, the efficient 12'6 touring shape delivers effortless glide and excellent straight-line tracking whilst maintaining reassuring control. A rear kick pad improves control during step-back turns and manoeuvres.
Supplied with Gladiator's premium 3-piece carbon paddle featuring a Hexcut anti-twist connection system and efficient touring blade, the Elite package is designed to maximise performance both on and off the water.
Combining premium construction, size-specific design, and efficient touring performance, the Gladiator Pro 12'6 x 29" x 4.7" is built for paddlers who want a board designed around their build, not just a standard touring shape.
