Reviews

First class

"I tried out several SUP and Bote is the best!!! I love my new board!!! Top quality, smooth on the water, and easy to use. Very happy customer!!!"

Doug W. (5/5)

It’s very easy to generate

"It’s very easy to generate speed with the link that you have of 11 six the one I have the craftsmanship is sturdy so when you put it on the ground, it does not feel like it’s going to break though you always are careful with boards in general and it fits really nice in the back of your car. It will stick out a bit, but it’s stable when riding down the road and riding it in the water."

Nathaniel Z. (4/5)

Awesome board.

"Have a couple of these boards and they’ve been great. Floats my 2 dogs and gear/cooler no problem."

Kyle (5/5)

Great

"Going from a blow up paddle board to this is an amazing upgrade, I definitely had and easier time standing up and paddling on the solid one rather than on my blowup one. 100% worth the purchase"

Lilly (5/5)

Perfect Gift for my wife

"Bought this for my wife for a Christmas present. So happy I made the right decision for her. She loves it"

Michael F. (5/5)

SUP

"It was really great. Sales force very friendly, informative and helpful."

Charlie B. (5/5)

IN LOVE

"I absolutely love my board! I wish I could be on it every day. The only reason I did not give this a 5 star review is because there was brown glue everywhere from where they glued the foam pieces together. Which you can only see if you’re up close. Even the delivery guy was like “wow that’s really sloppy”."

Courtney T. (4/5)

Amazing Board and Service

"The BOTE Breeze Gatorshell excels at stability and durability. Its wide deck — up to 34″ — gives new paddlers confidence on calm water or light chop. Outdoor Gear Lab. The Gatorshell construction (ABS/composite shell) adds toughness without making it excessively bulky."

Richard O. (5/5)

Bote hard paddle board

"I am over the moon happy with my whole experience! The delivery company helped me remove the packaging so I could inspect it. Everything is exactly as it should be. The board is so beautiful! The photos do not do it justice. Thank you so much!"

Tammy A. (5/5)

Wonderful All Around

"Put my first few miles on over the past week in variable conditions. Flat river, light chop, and big lake surf on Lake Michigan (2-3 footers, but still). Absolutely loved the board. Tracks great, fantastic buoyancy and stability (220 lbs), and it even looks like artwork. Had a blast, and can't wait for my next outing."
