Reviews

10" Aero Midtown Center Fin

"Better than the original which came off during a paddle. This one has a "lock"."

— Linda P. (5/5)

A little more shallow water please.

"Great for getting in more shallow water, but still being able to track."

— Jefferson A. (5/5)

Great replacement.

"Great replacement."

— Marji O. (5/5)

6 inch fins for smaller creeks

"3 inch fins are unstable. 10 inch too big for small water clearance. 6 inch fins are just right!"

— Randy M. (5/5)

So glad Bote sells replacement parts!

"Hi. I bought this fin to replace my old one that snapped. So glad Bote sells replacement parts. I have the Areo Tandom low rider."

— Joanna (5/5)

Works great

"Used this on my kayak. Very easy to use and very durable."

— Shane P. (5/5)

Perfect for Skinny Water

"I can use the midsize fin for skinny water and still have adequate tracking. I like the versatility."

— Jason C. (5/5)

Be more supportive of innovation.

"I was quite shocked when BOTE wanted nothing to do with helping me add a dagger board to my ISUP. Nevertheless I purchased the 6 inch fin anyway as an ISUP daggerboard. I found it extremely difficult locating the correct fin box without assistance from BOTE; but I found it, the Vinyl adhesive and the fabric to surround and seal it once installed."

— Bradley C. (5/5)

Fits like a fin should.

"It’s a fin. It does its fin thing."

— Christi M. (5/5)

I have hit rocks in

"I have hit rocks in shallow water while paddleing in Maine and stopped abruptly, I am hoping this will help me avoid this. Thanks for making such great products."

— William L. (4/5)
