Kids Sup Gladiator 9’6 One

Affordable Kids SUP for Independent Learning and Fun on the Water

The Gladiator 9'6 One is a kids inflatable SUP board for children and teenagers who want their own board – adapted to their size, weight, and strength. Shorter and narrower dimensions allow for easier handling, while the low weight of just 8 kg enables independent carrying to the water.

This SUP board measures 290 cm in length and 76 cm in width, which is significantly more manageable than adult boards. The 12 cm thickness creates a lower stance above the water, improving the sense of balance and boosting confidence during first paddle strokes. The single-layer drop-stitch construction provides adequate stiffness for regular kids' use while maintaining low weight.

First independent steps on a SUP. Playing and splashing with friends. A board the child can carry to the water themselves. The Gladiator 9'6 One is an affordable kids SUP for families who want to give their child real SUP experiences – not just a ride on an adult board.

Who Is the Kids SUP Gladiator 9'6 One For?

The kids SUP Gladiator 9'6 One is designed for children and teenagers who want their own SUP board, adapted to their body size and strength.

We recommend it for:

• children weighing up to approximately 50–70 kg for optimal performance and responsiveness,
• teenagers who want to paddle independently on a board they can handle themselves,
• families looking for an affordable kids SUP for learning, play, and relaxed paddling,
• children for use on lakes, calm rivers, or in sheltered coastal areas.

The maximum load capacity is approximately 100 kg, allowing multiple younger children to have fun on the board together. For adult users or if you're looking for one SUP for the whole family, we recommend the Gladiator 10'8 One or Gladiator 11'4 One.

Comparison: Gladiator 9'6 One vs 10'8 One

Gladiator 9'6 One (290 × 76 cm) is shorter, narrower, and lighter – designed specifically as a kids SUP for users up to approximately 70 kg. Gladiator 10'8 One (325 × 86 cm) is larger and more stable – we recommend it as a family SUP for adults and multi-person paddling.
