Reviews

First Paddle 2026

"My daughter’s 1st paddle on her HD GATORSHELL was a success. Even in extremely windy conditions and being so small, her board offered her excellent stability and maneuverability. Just wish more accessories were included! Great, solid board."

— June (4/5)

I love the look of

"I love the look of the classic design. The HD is definitely my favorite board. It handles so well in wind and current."

— Leia E. (5/5)

A happy addition to the household fleet!

"I haven’t had the chance to put this on the water yet, but the board is gorgeous and well-made. I did jump on the free shipping deal since the freight charges were previously a deterrent for me. I want to praise the level of care that was put into packaging the board up. It looks fresh from the factory and in a few days she’ll hit the water for the first time!"

— Sydney C. (5/5)

Cant get enough!

"I bought a 12ft HD Gatorshell and convinced 2 ppl to themselves one too (12ft gatorshell and a 11. 6ft inflatable). All 3 of us absolutely love our paddleboards and have had them for over a year now. We constantly get complimented on all our fancy accessories by other paddlers and we are usually the life of the group! In comparison from the HD Aero inflatable and HD gatorshell, they are both great but the gatorshell wins in stability and a smooth glide with less effort with less wind traction. However, you can't go wrong with either option."

— Denise W. (5/5)

Love the Hull Design and overall Look of my board

"I just received my new board and can’t wait to use it. The ice on our lake here in Michigan just melted. So I’ll be getting out my wet suit and booties and paddling soon! I’m looking forward to all the nice features on my board, especially the paddle slot holder and the magnepod."

— Margaret S. (5/5)

"Omg amazing board my wife love it very stable"

— Leo H. (5/5)

Love My Gnarly Harley!

"I am in love with my new HD! The way it just slices through the water is just perfect."

— LaDawn M. (5/5)

Great board

"This board is amazing. Super light and easy to carry."

— Nicolle P. (5/5)

ACTUAL customer service!

"My board arrived severely damaged thanks to a careless shipping contractor. I expected automated phone hell and a challenge and even battle. BOTE (and specifically Susanne) were amazing to deal with. Not only did I get a HUMAN on the phone but things were sorted immediately and she quickly had a new board enroute to replace the damaged one. She was so helpful, kind, and reassuring. Just to be able to explain and send pics to prove what happened - it was refreshing. We haven’t even used the SUP yet but if it rides nearly as good as it looks BOTE has won a loyal customer. I’ll get behind any company that stands by their customer and actually makes a HUMAN effort to resolve things. Seems unfortunately rare these days. Very happy with them and excited for warmer temps to see how this board glides!"

— James R. (5/5)

HD GATORSHELL: 1st Paddle 2026

"My 12 yo. loves her HD GATORSHELL board! The board was stable (even in windy conditions) and extremely maneuverable. However the board can be a challenge loading and I’d recommend 2 adults. First paddle in freezing water was a success!"

— June (4/5)

"I AM OBSESSED"

Absolutely LOVE my BŌTE HD Paddle Board! It maneuvers with ease and speed. Super stable! I honestly can’t get enough of it! Since it’s a hard shell I also purchased the strap and Sox accessories- which are fantastic! And I get complements every time I’m out on it. It’s truly a beautiful board.

SHARON C.

"YEARS OF FUN AHEAD"

I purchased 2 HD's; one 10'6" and one 12' for my wife and I. We've enjoyed them in both very windy environments and calm back water in the Keys. Glad we made these purchases and looking forward to years of fun!!!
