Even if it weren’t a weekend-long stand up paddle boarding party on a lake, this event would have us hooked from the getgo. The name is epic: Party Island on Lady Bird Lake. Sign us up. The cherry on top is that it is, in fact, a collection of SUP-lovers looking to have a good time with fellow water mongers like themselves.

Labor Day is right around the corner, and it's one of our favorite holidays for getting outside and enjoying the last stretch of summer. We've put together this definitive guide for your Labor Day outings, including our top gear picks for paddlers, kayakers, and loungers of all levels.

Whether you're camping in the keys or relaxing at a friend’s backyard bbq, the gear you choose can make or break your adventure (or lack thereof). And when it comes to talking about gear, your chair of choice is often an overlooked piece of gear. So let’s talk about the Aero Chair.

The patent-pending MAGNEPOD™ Magnetic System by BOTE utilizes neo-magnet technology integrated seamlessly into our SUPs, kayaks, Docks, Hangouts, KULAs, drinkware, and more to keep things like your frosty beverage or favorite paddling playlist upright and at your fingertips so you can keep your focus on the adventure that lies ahead.

If you’re wondering what size paddle board to get, two things: 1) you’re not alone, and 2) you’ve come to the right place. In fact, “what size paddle board should I get?” is one of the most common questions we receive. And for good reason. It’s an important one.

For boards that specifically cater to generalists, beginners, and do-it-all paddlers, there are a few BOTE inflatables, in particular, you’ll want to have on your radar. Meet the SUP boards that can do it all and do it in every body of water. All you need to do is sit back, relax, and paddle.

The LONO Aero is redefining the kayak fishing experience by solving common kayak fishing headaches through its innovative and portable design.

These days, it’s never been easier to fly with inflatable products. Between BOTE’s super lightweight SUPs and our ridiculously portable and packable carry bags, flying with inflatables is pretty much as simple as checking a bag.
