BOTE is the story of Corey and Magda. Magda grew up swimming 4-6 hours a day training to become a 3-time collegiate National Champion at Auburn University while Corey grew up fishing, swimming, skiing, hunting and doing everything he could to be on the water.
They first tried stand up paddling in late 2008 and loved the “idea”…but hated the product; both form and function. All of the boards were all basically giant, unstable, surfboards. That’s when they both quit their jobs and start their own SUP board business.
“We can make this better; we can make a board that stands apart.”
They wanted a board that was stable enough to fish from, yet paddled efficiently. A board that could hold a cooler. A board that was simple, fresh and inspires a lifestyle. A board that virtually anybody at any age could paddle with ease. It needed the capabilities of a boat with the simplicity of a board. And, it needed to look good…really good.
Since then, BOTE Boards has become a nationwide wide brand guided by their mission: “Stand Apart through industry-shaping innovation, fresh ideas and simplicity to create a product that defines a lifestyle.”
We, at Aerosport, are proud to introduce you to BOTE’s 2019 SUP Boards.
