Pedal. Paddle. Fish.

ProRider Aero is built to cover more water and keep the rod in your hand. Pedal Drive + Rudder System compatible for hands-free propulsion and steering. Stand and SUP, sit and kayak, or pedal to the next spot. The platform flexes for the day.

Innovations

Pedal Drive Compatible

ProRider Aero is built for the APEX Pedal Drive + Rudder System (sold separately). Hands-free propulsion so you cover more water efficiently and keep your focus on fishing, not paddling.

Circular icon with illustrations showing rac compatibility.

Rail Rac Slide Tracks

Modular slide tracks mount to 1/4"-20 threaded receivers along the side rails. Rod holders, electronics, fish finders, sandspear clips, paddle holders, and more. Lock them in where you want them and reconfigure when the day changes.

Rac and Kula compatible icon with drinkware and cooler attachment symbols.

Rac + KULA Compatible

Slide-in Aero Rac Receivers support the full range of Rac Systems for rods, tackle, and gear organization. KULA cooler tie-down points keep the cooler locked on deck and your weight distribution dialed.

Recessed deck icon showing a lowered platform profile.

Recessed Deck

Two-chamber AeroBOTE design creates a lowered standing and seating area that drops your center of gravity. Keeps you planted when casting, moving around gear, or transitioning between standing and seated.

Icon of three downward magnets with lightning bolts, representing magnetic attachment points.

MAGNEPOD™ Compatible

One magnetic mount point keeps drinkware, a speaker, or a Highwater Hitchhiker locked on deck and within reach. No straps, no fumbling.

Angled view of ProRider Aero feature callouts for deck, Rac, MAGNEPOD, and APEX PD compatibility.

ProRider Aero upgrade

"BOTE customer service was very responsive in sending me the ProRider upgrade. Although I have not had a chance to put it on the water yet from what I can tell it should be a good fishing kayak replacement for my BOTE Lono kayak."

— Joseph K. (5/5)

Very simple to get going

"Very simple to get going on. Very nice. Hard to describe them. You have to ride one"

— Douglas C. (5/5)

"Easy to use and made with high quality materials! I love the comfort we have while out on the water."
