Revisit some of BOTE's favorite stories to get a glimpse at what living the BOTE lifestyle is all about.

BOTE Beer: The Journey Beer and stand up paddle boarding go together like sugar-white sand and clear emerald water (or peanut butter and jelly). When a BOTE stand up paddle board innovation comes to fruition in the DarkRoom, we cheer with a beer. When our customers pop into one of our local shops to inquire about our boards, we offer them beer on tap. And when we designed the KULA cooler, we made it round because, well, beer cans are round. There’s no denying our love for frosty cold beer, so it’s no surprise our most recent collaboration involves creating...

Many of our Rac systems are compatible with a variety of boards in our fleet, but they each offer different features that appeal to a variety of SUP fishing styles and needs.

SUP Camping: What To Pack There are a few really great things about SUP camping: First, it gives you killer access to pristine natural areas you might not otherwise reach via car camping or even backpacking.

We're not here to overcomplicate things. At BOTE, we like to think we're a pretty uncomplicated bunch with a knack for designing and engineering badass stand up paddle boards and SUP accessories.

So you've been toying around with the idea of buying a kayak and after researching traditional kayaks, you may be thinking it's a bigger commitment than you want.

When you're all about the lifestyle, it doesn't take long for the great outdoors to remind us that we're not alone--even in the most remote SUP destinations.
