BOTE Boards

Then we have BOTE board one our personal favorites being Florida natives. Located in Fort Walton Beach, Florida BOTE Boards combination of features and technology have become an instant hit on the market. The owners tried SUPs in 2008 and were just not impressed with the current offerings. This led them into leaving their careers and starting BOTE to “stand apart.”

One of their best offerings is their fishing SUP simply called the HD. The HD gets its name from its unique hull design, which is a hybrid between a recreational surf style hull and a displacement-touring hull with a “V” nose entry referred to as a “hybrid-displacement” hull. This revolutionary hull design helps to make the HD one of the most versatile paddle boards on the market by allowing the board to effortlessly (and quietly) glide through the water while maintaining excellent stability in both smooth and choppy water.
