SUP destin | BOTE Stand-up Paddle Boards Latest

The GUSU Race series has begun! BOTE is a proud sponsor this year, and couldn’t be more excited to participate.

The kickoff race was hosted in Niceville, FL at the Northlight Marina. The conditions were sunny and still! Perfect for a race!

BOTE racers took 1st in a number of divisions! BOTE’s Magda Cooper took 1st in the 4 mile 12’6″ Women’s Elite on her Matte White Wraith SS, while Corey took 3rd in the 14′ Men’s Elite on a Gonzo SS. Pete Buzzelli took 1st and Jamie Fedorka took 2nd in the 14′ Men’s Elite, both on Matte Black Gonzo SS boards. BOTE also took 1st in the 12’6″ Men’s division with Ethan Luppert on a Matte Black Wraith SS.

There were a number of BOTE boards out there, and BOTE couldn’t be happier about the growing number of BOTE racers at each race!

Congrats to all of the racers out there! Below are the official results:

This weekend is the 15th Annual Key West Paddleboard Classic!

BOTE knows that not everyone has tried stand up paddling before and wants to encourage everyone to give it a shot! That is why BOTE offers FREE DEMOS everyday during business hours at both the Destin and Gulf Breeze location!

Since the Gulf Breeze location happens to be directly on the water, BOTE decided to have an impromptu Demo Day to bring friends, old and new, together with one thing in common… paddling!

Thank you to Paddle Destin for coming out to paddle, and for taking some photos!

It was a fun and beautiful day for paddling, and BOTE wants everyone to come and try out a board, so be sure to visit either location for a free demo!
