Dropstitch: The Gladiator Elite is made from a market-leading machine weave double laminated dropstitch, 20% lighter and stiffer than fusion layer boards. The weave has less give than the traditional knitted method, which gives superior flex and rigidity, with no compromise on durability

The Triple Rail Edge: Gladiator's triple rail edge technology is manufactured with monocoque construction, using the tensile strength offered from joining the top and bottom of the board together and then adding 2 extra layers of material to the rail edge. This technology allow for a stiff board with limited flex and a high PSI capability and it also gives a 'refined nose' shape.

The Refined Nose Shape: Gaining the 'refined nose' is one of the aspects of manufacturing that sets a board apart within the premium category. The refined nose is produced by the triple rail edge manufacturing process, produced in the above way and offers the rider a premium performance especially noticeable when tackling chop and waves.

The Deckpad: The Gladiator double cushioned crocodile deck pad offers huge amounts of foot comfort on long day paddles as well as lots of grip. The deckpad also looks beautiful on and off the water.

The Handle Design: Gladiator central handle is a super comfy thick paddled handle allowing carrying your board to the waterside to be super comfortable, the front and back handle are flat webbed designed allowing for a super durable and minimalistic look.

The Fin and Fin Box Design: Gladiator Elite resin and honeycomb 9" touring fin offer premium durability and lightness. The hexagonal foam core mat in these fins reduces the resin content, making the fin lighter while keeping the fin stiff where it counts. This gives these fins a medium flex pattern making them great for performance paddling.

The Paddle: The Gladiator Elite paddles are full 3 piece carbon shaft with a touring shape carbon blade with water release to stop quiver with a comfortable palm handle design. Designed to allow you to paddle with a light durable paddle that fits all heights of riders as well as fitting bag in your Gladiator bag.

The Bag: The Gladiator wheeled backpack has been designed with an oversized rectangular shape allowing for the board to go back in the bag really easily, with a strong zip for the longevity of use and foiled internal inner for board UV protection when storing your board. The board bag also has a handy 3 way Velcro pocket design allowing quick and easy packing of your backpack straps when not in use, the Gladiator bag has also gone through an aesthetics makeover with all the packages being colour coordinated to each range.

The Pump: The Bravo SUPer pump is one of the best pumps available. The Super pump offers a fixed hose that is attached to the cylinder rather than a handle which stops the hose from moving around when inflating your board. 20% more efficient thanks to the piston and outside tube for the air outlet. Handles that remove and feet that are hinged to allow the pump to more easily packed away, either by rolling around the board or placing in the paddleboard bag.
