"I AM OBSESSED"

Absolutely LOVE my BŌTE HD Paddle Board! It maneuvers with ease and speed. Super stable! I honestly can’t get enough of it! Since it’s a hard shell I also purchased the strap and Sox accessories- which are fantastic! And I get complements every time I’m out on it. It’s truly a beautiful board.

"YEARS OF FUN AHEAD"

I purchased 2 HD's; one 10'6" and one 12' for my wife and I. We've enjoyed them in both very windy environments and calm back water in the Keys. Glad we made these purchases and looking forward to years of fun!!!
