Innovation runs in our blood. Breaking boundaries. Exploring the uncharted. It’s part of our DNA and forms the backbone of every product we make. The original Rackham introduced unmatched adaptability. Configuration and customization stood side by side with style and design. Then came the birth of Aero Technology. The elements of air and water combined to breathe life into our boards, and with that the evolution continued.
AHAB – the first iteration of what would become the solid Rackham. The Ahab was the perfect combination of stability, speed, and versatility. Designed to be the ultimate expedition board, the Ahab set the pace for BOTE to become the world’s premiere fishing paddle board brand.
The original Rackham Aero, also known as the Zeppelin, was BOTE’s maiden airship. Our first inflatable paddle board with two-chamber construction, the Zeppelin could endure rougher terrain than any other inflatable on the market.
Innovation never stops and in this case, the Zeppelin got a name change: The Rackham Aero. Plus, a few new features and upgrades to make it the most feature-rich inflatable paddle board on the market.
Originally launched with the reimagined LONO Aero kayak, the APEX Pedal Drive is a hands-free, pedal-powered system. Farther and faster are still the name of the game. But now, so are stealth and self-sufficiency. Stalking the shallows and slicing through uncharted waters can be done under your own power.
We have created the ultimate upset of the paddle sports world. Transformational adaptability so intuitive that it settles the battle between boards and kayaks.
