Customer service

"My experience with Bote was a fantastic customer support experience with the warranty service area. After suffering a side tube failure in my new kayak which sent me and my dog went swimming. I took pictures of the problem area and called the warranty department. I sent the photos and had an excellent experience with them. The warranty was approved quickly and efficiently. I was sent a new Bote kayak and am happy paddling again. Thanks for standing behind your products. I will buy again from this company"

Unbelievable light

"Perfect for traveling and one person handling, in my case it's really a big deal."

— Valeria Q. (5/5)

Excellent kayak

"We bought an 11’ Vail Aero kayak and couldn’t wait to use it. It took no time to blow it up right next to the river and was comfortable throughout the entire trip. Deflating was again super easy. Our only minor issue was rinsing it off and hanging it to dry once we were home - some water stayed in. We will need to research a better way. Loved the kayak- well worth the investment!!"

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.
