The BOTE brand and our suite of products weren’t developed overnight. We didn’t ‘get lucky’ or time things just right. But we worked hard, hired great people, and stuck with it.

We launched an array of top new products and innovations throughout 2021. From proprietary technologies to life-hacks that you didn’t even know you needed, we tested and re-tested, invented and prototyped, molded, made, and spent countless hours in the Darkroom doing what we do best: creating award-winning, innovative products.

With the right gear and the right outlook, winter paddling opens up a whole new world of exploration in the rivers, lakes, and oceans you’re used to skimming along during the summer months.

It doesn’t take much to keep your BOTE inflatable kayak in excellent condition, but chances are you’ll want to anyway. Here’s how to clean, care for, and store your inflatable kayak.

Finding the perfect gift for your stubborn dad, who has everything, or picky best friend can be tough, which is why this last-minute BOTE gift guide is the best place to start. With everything from MAGNEPOD™ Drinkware to gift cards, there’s something to put a smile on everyone’s face.

We’re proud to introduce you to the all-new Aero SUP Paddle Seat—the ultimate upgrade for your paddle adventures. With the all-new Aero SUP Paddle Seat, you can transform any KULA- or Travelink-compatible BOTE stand up paddle board into a sit-down paddle vessel.

For your friends and family who already have a stand up paddle board, you’re in luck, because while a SUP or kayak is a gift that keeps on giving, so is the gear that can attach to it.

This year, cancel your alarm for the early morning Turkey Trot and break out your stand up paddle board. There are better ways to spend your Thanksgiving that will keep you connected to the ones you love most, help you work off a few of the day’s best indulgences, and, most importantly, keep you sane. This is the year you forge new Thanksgiving Day traditions, on the water.

Standup paddling is all about the experience. So, it makes sense that the SUP-buying process should be all about the experience, too, right? At least, that’s always been our M.O. here at BOTE—and what we’ve tried to cultivate over the years at our various flagship stores. Because, well, we don’t want to merely offer killer SUPs and other innovative products (though we’ve got both on lock).
