GLADIATOR PADDLEBOARDS USER GUIDE
YOUR PADDLE
Your paddle comes in 3 pieces for easy
transportation. To put it together, open up
the clamps to allow the shaft sections to slide
in before closing the clamps again.If your
paddle has a pushpin on the shaft section,
make sure this clicks in place. Before setting
o on your adventure give the paddle a light
twist to make sure the clasps are tight and
the paddle isn’t twisting around on itself.
PADDLE HEIGHT
Adjust the paddle height so that it is
roughly 4-6 inches above your head.
Use this as a starting point and then
adjust it up or down depending on your
preference as you paddle.
Make sure you hold your
paddle the correct way round,
with the blade angled forwards
in front of you...

CORRECT
For touring / cruising: A longer
paddle height makes for nice long
gentle paddle strokes.
For surng / racing: A shorter
paddle height makes for short,
sharp, powerful strokes.
If your paddle needs tightening up, check whether the clasp
needs a tool or is tool-less. If you need a tool check your
maintenance kit. Keeping the shaft in and clasp closed tighten
the screw quarter of a turn at a time and check again. Do not
over tighten the clasp.
If your clasp is tool-less, open the clasp, take the shaft out,
whilst the clasp is in the open position gently twist once, place
the shaft back, close the clasp, check the tightness and repeat
the process until the shaft is tight. Don’t over tighten.
