Reviews

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."

HD Aero 11′6″ Native Bombardier Inflatable Paddle Board

"Love the functionality of this board. Easy to inflate, light weight and lots of options of accessories. Very colorful."

— Aime H. (5/5)

Sturdy For My Weight

"This is a sturdy and well made board. Waited to review until I used it for the Summer, but I love it. It's convenient to transport and inflate. I think the most difficult part for me is getting the fin out of the slot after I'm done. It takes some force, but at least I don't worry about losing it. I bought this board initially as a 300 pound person, and I have never felt like I was too much for it. It has taken some falls from me for sure. Great board."

— Meagan (5/5)

Top Tier Across The Board!!!

"I can't leave a proper review unless I mention the top tier service by Walker aka Walker Texas Ranger, the layout of the store and what inventory was on display on top of crazy good quality. This is like a nicer Yeti brand along with a great product with great service and super user friendly storefront. Bugslinger HD Inflatable 11'6'' is the weapon of choice so far and look forward to making some memories!"

— Jason M. (5/5)

Cute Board!

"Awesome board for me and my huskies. Can’t thank the customer service rep enough for working with me to place my order and have it shipped to Hawaii with ease. Looking forward to getting more accessories to make inflating and carrying a little easier since I’m only 5’1”"

— Sayra H. (5/5)

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.
