Thanks for the feedback. Yes the rack is functional and very stable and we’ve had no issues with it. In the video, that was our first time using the board and we installed the rack incorrectly. We put the rack on at the car and then walked 500 yards to the water and left our tools. So we just went with it. Good luck to you.
Hi, I just got the same Bote as you. What are your thoughts on it now that you have been on it for a while? Do you have to remove the paddle sheath and rac receiver each time it’s folded up? I’m looking forward to taking mine out this weekend.
Hi! Congrats on your new Bote! After using ours a few times, I must admit, I love it! It's stable and offers room for me, gear and our son. Yes, I remove the paddle sheath and rac when I roll it up. However, unless we are going to use it for a few days in a row, or fishing, I leave the accessories off to save time getting in and out of the water. With the bungee straps, the paddle stays really secure. On our last paddle, it was just me and our son, I decided I wanted the electric pump. The hand pump is a great accessory which includes a gauge, but it added time and took away energy that I wanted to spend on the water. I hope you enjoy your new Bote as much as I do, happy paddling!
Love this!! Thanks for sharing your review. My boyfriend is thinking of getting me a paddle board for my birthday this year. I definitely want to go down to rainbow river :)
Thank you! No better way to beat the coming summer heat than to spend as much time on the water as possible. So much freedom and a good workout. You will earn your time on the water and feel great about it.
Zak M 😂. Good eye. Yes we didn’t notice until we got to the water that we reversed the bases, and we left our tools in the car. So we just let it ride.
Danny R. Thanks for the question! I checked out Bote’s website and the only seating I found for the SUP was the Kula 5 Cooler. Bote does offer an inflatable kayak that includes a seat. As far as the action camera mount, Bote does not appear to have a designated camera mount, but we attached ours on the Paddle Sheath (included), the Tackle Rack would work too.
@@tyrantlizardoutdoorproductions The bag shown loads from the end instead of opening down the side. I have had both styles and the ones that open down the side are easier to get your board in.
Rainbow river, which state and location? Looks like a great place to rent a house for a week and do some water activities.
Dunnellon FL. Highly recommend it but expect alot of folks on the river during summer. That cold spring water is heavenly.
Hi there! Hows it holding up all this time later?! Rainbow river sounds fun, its a short hop from st pete where i live!
Holding up like champ. Just had her out at Silver Springs last week. Highly recommend silver springs as well. Fewer people than the rainbow.
Great video! Does the paddle holder and the mounts for the rac need to be removed when packing?
Making great childhood memories!
Absolutely. Can’t wait for summer so we can get back on the water.
Love the video! I am thinking of getting this boat for fishing and want to get the rod rack. Can you lean on it for stability? How has it worked out?

Cool. This is what I call quality family time. Water looks great too.
sflabred Yes doesn’t get much better:).
Just got the same board how’s the board holding up today ??? Thanks for the video
Congrats. The board is holding up great, it’s gonna get some serious use with warmer weather on the horizon. Hope you enjoy yours.
Same here is been a bit windy but the warm weather is fast approaching. Can’t wait thanks for the reply 🤙
It looks like the tackle rack/rack mounts are installed backwards, was that purposeful to increase space with multiple riders or something?

Hello i am looking at the same model, can you tell me if these have attachment for action camera? or can a kayak seat be added to it? thanks

Lol,wtf with the name and logo? Didnt expect a family review after seeing that
Lol yeah could be a little misleading.
I don't like the bag
I'm interested to hear why you don't like the bag.
