Gabe Tardio is the most dominant force in men's doubles pickleball in 2026. Paired with Ben Johns, he has gone undefeated on the PPA Tour this season — taking gold in Sacramento, Vietnam, and every stop in between. A Godfather Pickleball athlete and the face of the first signature shoe in professional pickleball history, the Stria G1 Pro, Tardio brings elite athleticism, creative shot-making, and a competitive edge that separates him from the field. His around-the-post at Sacramento alone is worth the price of admission. The family is proud to have him. The tour is on notice.
