Why BOTE
BOTE was founded with the purpose of evolving the paddle board industry from its surfing origins to a distinct culture built on conceptually simple, aesthetically pleasing and functionally innovative products that appeal to people from all walks of life. These innovations allow our customers to paddle faster, further and with purpose.

Features
Features only available on select styles
Displacement Hull
A displacement hull has a deep-v nose which allows the board to cut through the water efficiently. It’s a good choice for fitness, extended paddling, and fishing.
Planing Hull
A planing hull is flat and wide, which makes it a great choice for recreational paddling, yoga, and fishing.
Entry Rocker
All inflatable boards have an entry rocker style hull. The entry rocker is designed to keep the board nose up and shed water.
Stashpod
The Stashpod is a convenient storage container with an integrated bottle opener. It’s the best place to “stash” your keys or hold your beer.
Rac Compatible
Our kayak comes with accessory integration systems that allow the paddler to “deck out” their kayak with our custom Racs.
Travelink
Travelink™ SUP Carry System Compatible to transport your BOTE hands-free over long distances safely and ergonomically with ease.
Paddle Sheath
Located in the cockpit of the kayak, the Paddle Sheath™ allows the paddler to insert the blade end of the paddle into the slot, freeing up the hands for other activities.
Paddle Strap
An integrated channel on the side of the board with accompanying bungee straps that allow for quick and easy storage of your paddle when not in use.
Wheel Rac
Easily slip the Wheel Rac into the Wheel Rac receivers and rock & roll. The Wheel Rac’s oversized balloon tires will glide over almost any terrain with minimal effort.

Power Well
Inset power well improves performance and safety, allowing you to trim the motor up when paddling.
SUP Lift Handle
A retractable handle that allows a significantly better way to carry, maneuver and manage your paddleboard out of the water.
Gatorshell Technology
Years in the making, our new Gatorshell Technology is poised to be the next game changing innovation to be introduced by the Darkroom gurus at BOTE. In our quest to constantly improve upon the products we make, we’ve achieved something truly special. Incredibly strong and stunningly beautiful, our new line of Gatorshell boards are the toughest we’ve ever made.
Aero Technology
The technology behind our AeroBOTEs is second to none. BOTE inflatable paddle boards transform from a form factor small enough to fit in a backpack into a fully functional SUP in minutes. Don’t worry about scratches and dings because the military-grade PVC skin is virtually indestructible. The inner core of our AeroBOTEs has tens of thousands of composite fibers that connect the top and bottom halves of the board and when under pressure create solid board rigidity.
