SUP Transformed

Introducing the Aero SUP Paddle Seat

Sometimes the simplest things can make the biggest impacts. And sometimes, sitting beats standing. For both these universal truths, we’re proud to introduce you to the all-new patent-pending Aero SUP Paddle Seat—the ultimate upgrade for your paddle adventures.

The gist is this: Standing on a stand up paddle board can get a little inflexible. No, we’re not talking about your lower back and hamstrings; we’re talking about variety. Wouldn’t it be nice, for instance, if you could convert your SUP into more of a kayak experience for those days when you feel like kicking back? Or even bring along an extra rider who can sit down while you paddle?

Now you can. 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. Say so long to only one way to paddle, and hello to a whole new world of sit-down/stand-up paddling.

Why You Should Get an Aero SUP Paddle Seat

One word: transformation. The Aero SUP Paddle Seat transforms your paddle experience from SUP to SDP (ahem, sit-down paddle board) and back to SUP in no time.

Whether you’re taking your Traveller Aero Inflatable on a multi-day river excursion or simply floating around on a Flood, the option of seamlessly sitting down or standing up (depending on your preferences and/or the conditions) is a great option to have.

Need to take a load off during a long paddle? Go for it. Want to add an extra rider onto your board? No problemo.

Basically, the core benefits of the Aero SUP Paddle Seat are rooted in variety. And variety’s the spice of paddling life, right?

Paddling Parents

One of the best ways to bond with a young one—or even a furry young one (for all the dog parents out there)—is to bring them along for the journey. With the Aero SUP Paddle Seat, bringing a passenger along has never been easier. They sit, you stand and paddle. Water taxi service for them, extra workout for you, fond memories for everyone.

Load-Off Loungers

This one goes out to all the lazy river lovers out there. The relaxers and the fun-seekers. It’s true: paddle boarding can be an active outing for everything from fishing, to fitness, to full-on paddle excursions. But it’s also a fantastic way to take a load off and experience nature and good times on the water. With the Aero SUP Paddle Seat, you can take “taking a load off” to the next level.

The Aero SUP Paddle Seat is a high pressure, drop stitch recumbent style seat that allows you to convert your SUP into hybrid configuration. At its technical core, it weighs in at a lightweight 7lbs, carries up to 300lbs, and is constructed with BOTE’s patented AeroULTRA technology. Its optimal inflation is 6-8 PSI, and it’s high, wide, and deep enough to seat just about anybody. It ships as a kit, including the seat, two seat tie-downs, and a shoulder carry bag, which—when all loaded in the carry bag—weighs a mere 10lbs.

All of which is to say, every little detail is painstakingly considered. What might seem like a simple seat is so much more. It’s a full on SUP transformation.


The Aero SUP Paddle Seat can be used on any BOTE inflatable or solid paddle board by looping the included cam straps through D-Rings, Travelink attachment points, or cooler tie down points.
