This is an all around

"This is an all around fantastic board. Very happy with my purchase. I like my previous boards this is 100 times more stable. Easy to set up. Color is vibrant. Would highly recommend getting the Hd Aero over the Breeze for the extra stability and size. I will never own anything but a Bote board."

Great quality

"I have used my new paddle board twice now and it’s very well made. I have to say it is very easy to set up and use on my own and it feels very secure while standing on it. I got the artist series and it’s also absolutely beautiful!"

Best inflatable SUP I’ve ever owned — worth every penny

"I purchased the BOTE HD Aero 11′6″ Bug Slinger (Warbirds Edition) at full price (not sponsored), and I’m genuinely blown away by the quality, performance, and overall experience. First off, this board is absolutely beautiful. The Warbirds edition turns heads everywhere I go, and I get tons of compliments on the water. It looks premium because it is premium. Performance-wise, the stability is unreal. I’m over 200 lbs and I haven’t flipped it once. It has a very forgiving sweet spot, feels planted, and inspires confidence even when conditions aren’t perfect. I mainly paddle in Choctawhatchee Bay, and it handles the chop surprisingly well. I’ve also taken it into bigger water off Okaloosa Island, and it stayed perfectly stable and composed. It also tracks perfectly—no annoying side-to-side wandering—so longer paddles feel efficient and smooth. Setup and pack-up are a breeze, and the pump from BOTE has been excellent: I can inflate it in about 13 minutes, give or take depending on the power source. On top of all that, BOTE’s customer service is the best I’ve dealt with in the industry. They clearly stand behind their product, and that matters when you’re investing at this price point. Bottom line: This is the best stand up paddle board money can buy. For the price, you truly get what you pay for—premium build, premium performance, premium support. If you’re on the fence, buy with confidence."

Care + Storage
  1. Rinse off with clean water after each use. Rinsing off residue, debris, and salt water from your Aero will ensure it stays looking new for years to come. A damp cloth or Magic Eraser will also safely remove any dirt or scuffs that may have occurred while in use. 
  2. Store in a cool, dry place. When storing your Aero rolled, let it dry completely before rolling back into the bag. Always store your Aero in a cool, dry place or a shady area out of reach of direct sunlight, to avoid weakening or fading of colors.
  3. Keep out of direct sunlight when not in use. Over time, the sun can both weaken the material and seams and increases the pressure beyond its design limits. If your Aero is out of the water and not in use, move it to a shady place out of direct sunlight.
  4. Reduce PSI when not in use. If you must leave your Aero out of the water and in direct sunlight or choose to store it partially inflated, reduce pressure until the board is compressible by hand.
