As the flagship performance board in the Gladiator range, the Summit combines race-winning design with the versatility needed for long-distance adventures, making it equally capable on the racecourse, during endurance challenges, or on fast-paced touring expeditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in 14’0 x 24″ x 4.7″, 14’0 x 26″ x 4.7″, 14’0 x 28″ x 4.7″, and 14’0 x 28″ x 6″ sizes, the Summit range allows paddlers of different weights, heights, and skill levels to choose a board that delivers maximum performance while matching their individual needs. The 4.7″ models offer a lower-volume design and a more direct connection to the water, ideal for riders up to approximately 90kg, while the 6″ construction provides increased buoyancy and carrying capacity for heavier paddlers and expedition use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the Summit is Gladiator’s advanced machine-woven dropstitch construction, delivering outstanding rigidity and reduced weight. Carbon stringers on both the deck and hull work alongside full-length carbon side rails to create exceptional stiffness and responsiveness. Raised side walls through the standing area improve foot positioning, enhance stability, and further reinforce the board’s structure, resulting in one of the most rigid inflatable race boards available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe streamlined race nose, highly efficient hull shape, and integrated water-release edge work together to maximise glide and minimise drag, helping convert every paddle stroke into forward momentum. A rear kick pad provides precise control during buoy turns and step-back manoeuvres, giving paddlers confidence when racing or navigating technical conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to perform beyond the racecourse, the Summit includes front cargo storage for essential equipment and additional rear D-rings for carrying extra gear on longer adventures. Front, centre, and rear carry handles are complemented by dedicated race handles, allowing for fast transitions, efficient portages, and easier transportation both on and off the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Summit is supplied without a paddle, recognising that performance-focused paddlers often prefer to pair their board with a paddle that best suits their technique, cadence, and paddling style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombining cutting-edge construction, extensive carbon reinforcement, race-inspired shaping, and expedition-ready practicality, the Gladiator Summit represents the highest level of inflatable paddleboard performance in the Gladiator range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Highlights:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Race paddleboard\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Universal Fin System\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Water release\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Kick pad\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Reinforced Xstrong Edge sidewalls\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• 5 Easy-to-carry handles\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Epic Life","offers":[{"title":"14' x 24\" x 4.75\" \/ Board Package - No Paddle","offer_id":58120397259135,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"14' x 24\" x 4.75\" \/ Gladiator Pro 3pc Paddle","offer_id":58120397291903,"sku":null,"price":749.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"14' x 26\" x 4.75\" \/ Board Package - No Paddle","offer_id":58120397324671,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"14' x 26\" x 4.75\" \/ Gladiator Pro 3pc Paddle","offer_id":58120397357439,"sku":null,"price":749.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"14' x 28\" x 4.75\" \/ Board Package - No Paddle","offer_id":58120397390207,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"14' x 28\" x 4.75\" \/ Gladiator Pro 3pc Paddle","offer_id":58120397422975,"sku":null,"price":749.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"14'0 x 28\" x 5.9\" \/ Board Package - No Paddle","offer_id":58120397455743,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"14'0 x 28\" x 5.9\" \/ Gladiator Pro 3pc Paddle","offer_id":58120397488511,"sku":null,"price":749.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/3957\/1759\/files\/Gladiator-Summit-14x24-package-2026.jpg?v=1785966597","url":"https:\/\/www.epiclife.co.uk\/products\/gladiator-summit-paddleboard","provider":"Epic Life","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
