Reviews

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)

Great fin

"This design is exactly what I was looking for. Great on the San Marcos river for getting through the shallows and not running ground. Snug fit"

— Guerry H. (5/5)

Perfect fin for all around use

"Perfect addition to my Lowrider, tracking ability is still acceptable. This fin helps me get through the tight spots in the grass flats. Also allows me to paddle right up to the bank with out dragging the center fin."

— Michael N. (5/5)
