We’re proud to introduce you to the all-new Aero SUP Paddle Seat—the ultimate upgrade for your paddle adventures. 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.

For your friends and family who already have a stand up paddle board, you’re in luck, because while a SUP or kayak is a gift that keeps on giving, so is the gear that can attach to it.

This year, cancel your alarm for the early morning Turkey Trot and break out your stand up paddle board. There are better ways to spend your Thanksgiving that will keep you connected to the ones you love most, help you work off a few of the day’s best indulgences, and, most importantly, keep you sane. This is the year you forge new Thanksgiving Day traditions, on the water.

Standup paddling is all about the experience. So, it makes sense that the SUP-buying process should be all about the experience, too, right? At least, that’s always been our M.O. here at BOTE—and what we’ve tried to cultivate over the years at our various flagship stores. Because, well, we don’t want to merely offer killer SUPs and other innovative products (though we’ve got both on lock).

Before reading on, you gotta watch the video. Why? Because it will leave you wondering - How’d they film this? What does it all mean? And who the hell plays the protagonist?

In this episode, Sean sits down with Rob McAbee, BOTE Creative Director, and the BOTE crew to recount behind the scenes moments from the No Quarter production. Listen to these creative minds dissect what went into the filming from concept to production, plus fun stories in-between.

Smaller and lighter, yet built to bring you the same stability, durability, and versatility as its big brothers, the Rackham Aero 11′ is your answer to getting an outdoor fix without having to settle for less just because you want a smaller board.

When the opportunity presented itself to collaborate with Destin Brewery on a second beer, the BOTE crew was all in. For batch two we decided to take what we love about rum and spin it into our Rackham Red Ale.

Here at BOTE, we’re uncompromising in our commitment to developing innovative products that help people get out and enjoy all aspects of life on and around the water. This gift guide is for the gift giver who wants to go big this holiday season.
