Gladiator 10'6" Pro
The Gladiator Pro 10'6 SUP is a true all-round shape. At 10'6 x 32" x 4.7" this SUP board is the perfect all-round board for most people. The 32" width and the straight rails makes this SUP board nice and stable, the 4.7" thickness gives the board the correct volume, which allows the 10'6 to be a great board for families to share as it has an upper central rider weight limit of 120kg but also allows the lighter rider not get caught by side winds which can happen with a 6" thick board.
Whether paddling on flat water or waves with friends, family, kids or dogs, you will have an amazing time on the 10'6.
Outline Shape: The Gladiator Outline shape is 10'6 x 32" x 4,7'' with a narrower midsection & wider tail giving this board a great glide. The Gladiator is stable because of its wide tail and easy to turn. It's easy to hold the paddle closer & vertical, which improves tracking and reduces the number of times you have to switch the paddle from side to side when paddling.
Drop Stitch: The Gladiator Pro is made with double laminated fusion technology with an added 2 layer sandwich of 1000 den textile substrate in between the layers of PVC.
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 Bungee Cargo System: The asymmetric cargo straps not only look funky but offer more versatile storage solutions. With 3 straps at the front of all all-round and performance all-round boards and another 2 straps at the back of all touring boards. Loading your board up for with kit has never been easier.
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: All Pro boards come with a stiff and durable plastic Gladiator branded fin with a universal 198mm inch fin box. This fin box has been shortened to allow for even easier rolling of your board without losing the universal aspect of a true universal fin box, allowing you to switch the fin for a shorter river fin if desired or allowing you easy purchasing of a new fin if you lose it in a more remote location.
The Paddle: The Gladiator paddles are full 3 piece carbon shaft with nylon blade with 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.
3 Years Warranty: Gladiator is an innovative brand, building high-quality paddleboards, but without a high price tag, Using fusion double laminated and weave technology alongside triple rail edge construction means these boards are light & strong. With premium glueing technology that is 26 psi rated (even though 18/20 psi is perfect) the confidence in this high PSI means not only a very rigid board but also one that is very very strong.
