Before you hit the water next, browse the guide below to learn more about why we love this ripper range of products!
What makes BOTE so good?
It all lies in the construction. BOTE has a range of unique technologies that makes their product the bee's knees. To learn more about the individual technologies that help BOTE stand apart, click on the drop downs below.
AeroBOTE
AeroBOTE technology is what allows BOTE products to have that characteristic rigidity, while still being able to pack down into a neat, compact bag. The technology works by having tens of thousands of fibres connect the top and bottom layers of military grade PVC. Although the only war you might be having is a water fight, it's still good to know that this PVC is built for supreme toughness!
AeroULTRA
AeroULTRA offers the same drop-stitch design but in a lighter package. Rather than holding multiple layers together, AeroULTRA allows boards to be made with a single layer without sacrificing on performance. Although this is a lighter construction, it's still built for maximum durability
BVA FOAM
Heard of EVA? Well, BOTE have taken things to a whole new level with their BVA, multi-textured deck pad. It's ultra-comfy for your feet and will shed water like a champion. The reason for the B? There are heaps of little BOTE B's imprinted on to the surface, what a nice touch!

The WULF Aero Classic has been stripped back to offer paddlers everything they need to get out and spend more time on the wet stuff with family and friends. This board features AeroULTRA technology, which is basically a lightweight construction that still maintains that rock solid platform that BOTE is famous for. Because of this, the board only weighs about 13 kilos when packed up! If you're looking for a budget-friendly option to get you out on any type of waterway, from inland lakes to beautiful bays, the WULF is a perfect package for you.
BOTE 11' Inch Flood Aero Inflatable SUP
The do-all board, the Flood Aero has everything you need to sneak away for an action-packed adventure. The Flood Aero is the sleekest of all the BOTE SUPs but still receives an A+ for stability due to its flat bottom, entry rocker nose, and AeroBOTE construction that also make this model as tough as a $2 steak. It's the smallest of the BOTE range but as they say, good things come in small packages. When talking about the Flood Aero, we're not sure ‘good’ cuts the mustard, as this board is absolutely dynamite! With this ISUP you'll be carving through the water with ease with the centre and side fins. If the performance alone wasn't enough, you also have the option to kit her out to the max and bring along all your favourite accessories due to the ‘Rac Receivers’ that are mounted directly to the deck.

Although this beauty cuts down on size, it certainly doesn’t make any compromises elsewhere, tracking through any waterbody, whether it be a slow-moving river or a choppy bay with ease. This is thanks to its flared bow and keel guard that enable the vessel to slice through the water without a worry. The board also has an open transom that allows any water to drain out the back.
