Gabe Tardio

Meet Gabe Tardio—a Bolivian-born rising star in pro pickleball. He picked up a paddle during the pandemic and now competes in the PPA and MLP, chasing his goal of becoming the top right-side player in the world. Gabe is partnered with World #1 Ben Johns for the 2025 season.

"I’ve tried a lot of paddles, but the PIKKL Vantage Pro just feels like an extension of my hand—it gives me the control and power I need to dominate the right side every time I step on the court."
