So let&#8217;s get started with the BOTE Flood Aero Review!<\/p>\n<p>Like the rest of their lineup the BOTE Flood Aero just feels like a quality piece of equipment right out of the box. The overall colors and textures of this single board really appealed to most reviewers. That is saying something considering some manufacturers can produce as many as 6 different color ways for a single board type. BOTE doesn\u2019t skimp when it comes to quality feeling materials either. Absolutely nothing you can look at or touch feels out of place or cheap. <\/p>\n<p>The Flood Aero sits in the size category just shy of the BOTE HD Aero, so while it doesn\u2019t quite have as much volume as that board, it is still a fairly sizable board at 11\u2019 by 32\u201d. This lends itself to being very stable and a good choice for beginners of most weight ranges. In terms of accessories this board is also just shy of the HD Aero, it\u2019s missing some included features but still has plenty of options for paddlers looking to tailor their water experience to their unique tastes. Most notably this board still has the Aero Rack receivers included, meaning you are only a purchase away from a good fishing setup or a nice KULA rack system. <\/p>\n<p>We think the BOTE Flood Aero would be great for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Beginner paddlers up to around 225 lbs<\/li>\n<li>Paddlers looking for a solid SUP fishing or cooler setup<\/li>\n<li>Paddlers wanting a full length deck pad for SUP Yoga or pets<\/li>\n<li>Paddlers after a decent touring board<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We think the BOTE Flood Aero is great for the following water conditions\/situations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Flat water paddling through rivers and lakes<\/li>\n<li>Recreational paddling with smaller pets or kids<\/li>\n<li>Sup Yoga or any on board fitness program (Full Trax option)<\/li>\n<li>Light ocean paddling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>BOTE Flood Aero Review: Overview<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bote-Flood-Inflatable-SUP-Review-Maneuvering.jpg\" alt=\"Bote Flood Inflatable SUP Review Maneuvering\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10683\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"side-by-side-images\">\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bote-Flood-Inflatable-SUP-Review-Board-Design.jpg\" alt=\"Bote Flood Inflatable SUP Review Board Design\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10685\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bote-Flood-Inflatable-SUP-Review-Board-Shape.jpg\" alt=\"Bote Flood Inflatable SUP  Board Shape\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10684\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>Note: Our crew paddles a lot.

It\u2019s solid construction and stability really make this a great choice for beginner paddlers in the 225lb range. It also comes with some of the best features available from the manufacturer. All of this at its mid range price makes this board a very good value.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><strong>Stability:<\/strong> 9.3\/10<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4><strong>Speed:<\/strong>8.6\/10<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4><strong>Tracking:<\/strong> 8.7\/10<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4><strong>Maneuverability:<\/strong> 8.9\/10<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4><strong>Construction Quality:<\/strong> 9.4\/10<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4><strong>Accessory Review:<\/strong> 9.6\/10<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our overall rating of 9.5\/10 for the BOTE Flood Aero goes to show that BOTE is serious about making quality inflatable standup paddle boards. We were very impressed with this board in almost all of the categories and have no problems recommending it to both beginners and more advanced paddlers, which is why we have awarded this as one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/best-inflatable-paddle-board-reviews\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">best inflatable paddle boards<\/a> for 2023.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/BOTE-Flood-Aero\" class=\"large radius otw-button\" style=\"background-color: #3b5998;\" target=\"_blank\">Check Prices<\/a>\n<h2>In-Depth Review of the BOTE Flood Aero Stand Up Paddle Board<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bote-Flood-Inflatable-SUP-Review-Planing.jpg\" alt=\"Bote Flood Inflatable SUP Review Planing\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10689\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"side-by-side-images\">\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bote-Flood-Inflatable-SUP-Review-Bote-Logo.jpg\" alt=\"Bote Flood Inflatable SUP Review  Bote Logo\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10688\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bote-Flood-Inflatable-SUP-Review-Tracking.jpg\" alt=\"Bote Flood Inflatable SUP Review Tracking\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10687\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This board did really well in all of our tests. So our best summary is that it\u2019s a great all around board in the mid priced segment. It comes with plenty of features and even more manufacturer add-ons to customize your paddling experience. Most reviewers liked how it paddled and felt fairly stable on the board despite being 225 lbs and above. <\/p>\n<h3>Stability Rating: 9.3\/10<\/h3>\n<p>In terms of stability the BOTE Flood Aero did not disappoint. It\u2019s a fairly large board at 11\u2019 long, so it certainly has the volume to keep a good deal of weight afloat (more below), but more importantly it adds to the boards stability. BOTE has said themselves that it\u2019s combination of entry (nose) rocker and thick rails make the board extremely stable and we agree that the overall shape of the board does add significantly to its stability. <\/p>\n<p>As we have said many times over, a board&#8217;s stability is probably it\u2019s most important characteristic. Especially when considering new paddlers looking to purchase their first inflatable SUP. This board felt solid under all the reviewers feet (150 lbs up to 225+ lbs) and the stability score shows just how solid the board felt to all reviewers. <\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<h4>Weight Capacity:<\/h4>\n<p><\/strong><br \/>\nListed Capacity: 275 lbs<\/p>\n<p>Despite what a manufacturer might say, we like to think of the weight capacity as the absolute limit in which a board is still basically maneuverable as a paddle board. Yes we could weigh it down until it sinks (or pops) but that doesn\u2019t do any good as your ability to paddle the board would have gone out the window way before that point.<\/p>\n<p>For our purposes we believe this board is good for someone up to around 225 lbs (depending on skill level) and a few small extras such as a cooler or small pet or child. Certainly not all three though. I think BOTE is genuinely very fair when it comes to their max capacity ratings. That should make it easier on consumers when choosing a board for their needs and experience level. <\/p>\n<h3>Speed Test: 8.6\/10<\/h3>\n<div class=\"side-by-side-images\">\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/BOTE-Flood-Aero-Speed-Test.jpg\" alt=\"BOTE Flood Aero Speed Test\" width=\"739\" height=\"1600\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10695\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/BOTE-Flood-Aero-Casual-Speed-Test.jpg\" alt=\"BOTE Flood Aero Casual Speed Test\" width=\"739\" height=\"1600\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10694\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Despite it\u2019s long 11\u2019 water line this board was certainly not one of the fastest we have paddled. Like the rest of the BOTE fleet we seem to think these boards are fine tuned for a set cruising speed. <\/p>\n<p>What I mean by this is that the Flood Aero liked to go at exactly one speed. It was fairly easy to get up to that speed and maintain that speed (around 3 mph). But to do any better required a tremendous amount of additional energy. We think that this is due to the weight and overall shape of the board. As BOTE added stability with the hybrid nose design and rocker, and added weight with additional materials for durability, they limited its overall speed.<\/p>\n<p>This is great for an all around board, if you think about it. With a typical all-around SUP, you&#8217;re not looking to be the fastest, just fast enough. This board should keep you, with minimal effort i might add, in the lead group of your fellow distance paddlers without a problem. <\/p>\n<h3>Tracking: 8.7\/10<\/h3>\n<div class=\"side-by-side-images\">\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bote-Flood-Inflatable-SUP-Review-Bottom.jpg\" alt=\"Bote Flood Inflatable SUP  Bottom\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10695\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bote-Flood-Inflatable-SUP-Review-glide.jpg\" alt=\"Bote Flood Inflatable SUP Review glide\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10694\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>With an score of 8.7, the BOTE Flood Aero sits in the lower middle of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/best-inflatable-paddle-board-reviews\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">top rated inflatable SUPs<\/a> for overall tracking. <\/p>\n<p>We really like the single removable center fin for sure, but we are just not sold on those permanent rubber fins. In our opinion we feel the board would track better if it had larger (removable) side fins. That would also get rid of the headache that is having permanent fins. It makes the board much more complicated to roll up as you have to account for those in your process. It also makes general storage a pain as well. Whereas a board with all removable fins could be stacked easily on each other, these will always interfere with that. What\u2019s worse is that they often deform and bend with sun exposure so there is just no winning.<\/p>\n<h3>Maneuverability: 8.9\/10<\/h3>\n<div class=\"side-by-side-images\">\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bote-Flood-Inflatable-SUP-Review-backfin-turn.jpg\" alt=\"Bote Flood Inflatable SUP Review backfin turn\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10695\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bote-Flood-Inflatable-SUP-Review-Maneuverability.jpg\" alt=\"Bote Flood Inflatable SUP Review Maneuverability\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10694\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The BOTE Flood Aero maneuvers quite well despite it\u2019s 11 foot length. In terms of basic (non stepping) turns it did well. The board was able to tackle a slalom course of water plants with composure. You never really felt like you had to work extremely hard to make this board change directions. This may also have to do with it\u2019s somewhat limited overall speed though. It\u2019s hard to keep the pace up when turning a lot in the slalom if the board only wants to go a certain pace. <\/p>\n<p>Looking at step back turns or really anything that requires you to move your feet around this board was a little less stable. I really feel those Aero Tackle Rack mounts are made out of hard edged plastic that I could almost see myself slicing my foot on. Again this is not an issue if you&#8217;re not a more advanced paddler trying to do step back turns, or if you consistently have the Aero Tackle Rack in place (who doesn\u2019t go paddling without their KULA? Am i right!). I would just suggest to BOTE that these mounts need to be more flush or more like the scottie mounts used by other companies. That sharp edge for the slide in attachment is just not ideal. <\/p>\n<h3>Construction Quality: 9.4\/10<\/h3>\n<div class=\"side-by-side-images\">\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bote-Flood-Inflatable-SUP-Review-Tail-Features.jpg\" alt=\"Bote Flood Inflatable SUP Review Tail Features\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10697\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bote-Flood-Inflatable-SUP-Review-Side-Rails.jpg\" alt=\"Bote Flood Inflatable SUP Review Side Rails\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10696\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bote-Flood-Inflatable-SUP-Review-Rear-Air-Valve.jpg\" alt=\"Bote Flood Inflatable SUP Review Rear Air Valve\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10699\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bote-Flood-Inflatable-SUP-Review-Kayak-D-Ring.jpg\" alt=\"Bote Flood Inflatable SUP Review Kayak D Ring\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10698\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>BOTE says all the Flood Aero is made with the \u201cextremely tough AeroBOTE technology\u201d, but what exactly does that mean? Well looking forward into their materials you see that they have essentially two construction methods for their iSUPs, AeroBOTE and AeroULTRA. The first, which is used in this board, consists of a composite dropstitch core and two additional layers of fusion composite \u201cmilitary grade\u201d PVC. The result is an overall finished product that feels solid in your hands. It\u2019s not extremely light compared to other boards, but that\u2019s ok. It is extremely sturdy and has allegedly been extremely tested by BOTE founders in various fun ways. <\/p>\n<p>Moving on to the overall finish of the board you will quickly see that BOTE makes the board second to almost no one. They have an amazing eye for detail and color that extends all the way down to the multicolor EVA foam deck pads that wear the signature \u201cB\u201d logo. When you first get the board it looks like something that costs a considerable bit more &#8211; in fact, most people are very surprised when they see the price tag of the BOTE Flood Aero. We agree and think the board looks and feels very high quality throughout.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<h4>Board Stiffness: <\/h4>\n<p><\/strong><br \/>\nStiffness Test: \u00be\u201d Bend (board on top of saw horses placed 7\u2019 apart, with 150 lbs of weight added right by handle in middle of the board)<\/p>\n<p>To us, board stiffness is a product of several factors but most important of them all is probably the construction of the board itself. We typically, though not always, see boards with high stiffness typically have above average stability and construction quality. We do this test to get an idea how each board performs in relation to one another using the same standardized repeatable test. It\u2019s one of the few ways we can see an apples to apples comparison across the board. <\/p>\n<p>We found the BOTE Flood Area to be very stiff and perform very well on this test &#8211; backing up our assessment that the quality of materials BOTE uses is top notch. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/BOTE-Flood-Aero\" class=\"large radius otw-button\" style=\"background-color: #3b5998;\" target=\"_blank\">Check Prices<\/a>\n<h3>Features\/Accessory Review: 9.6\/10<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bote-Flood-Inflatable-SUP-Review-Accessories.jpg\" alt=\"Bote Flood Inflatable SUP Review Accessories\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10689\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"side-by-side-images\">\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bote-Flood-Inflatable-SUP-Review-Scottie-Mount.jpg\" alt=\"Bote Flood Inflatable SUP  Scottie Mount\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10688\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bote-Flood-Inflatable-SUP-Review-Magnapod.jpg\" alt=\"Bote Flood Inflatable SUP  Magnapod\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10687\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<h4>Features:<\/h4>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The BOTE Flood Aero is certainly not light on features. BOTE has an extensive library of additional add ons and this board is positioned to use most if not all of them effectively. To start this board comes with a very nice deck pad and the only option on this board is to go with either the full length deckpad (full trax) or the standard length with amazing graphics. Both of these certainly have their uses with the full trax being perfect for a SUP Yoga routine, or paddling with pets. On the other hand the graphic nose of the smaller option is just wonderful to look at and perfect if you just plan on paddling solo. New for this year is the inclusion of the MagnePod piece which incorporates rare earth magnets to secure cups and drink koozies. Simply an amazing idea<\/p>\n<p>The Flood Aero also comes with front and rear bungee straps. These are great for stowing any extra gear you may want to take along on your journey. Another nice feature is the side mounted velcro paddle holder. Great for those SUP Yoga sessions or when you are lazily floating. This board also comes with D-rings for their Travelink system. This system is essentially a sling with attachment points to carry your board on your shoulder. There are two more D-rings located on the rear portion of the deckpad made for securing a cooler, or any larger item, to the deck for a trouble free paddle experience. Finally, the Flood Aero is also able to accept the use of BOTE\u2019s various Tackle Rac systems or cooler mounting systems with it\u2019s included Aero Rac receivers. <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s quite a lot of included features for such a modestly priced iSUP and we only expect this feature list to grow as the new technology on their flagship boards slowly makes its way down the line. <\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<h4>Included Accessories:<\/h4>\n<p><\/strong><br \/>\nIn case you haven\u2019t gotten the sense already, the BOTE Flood Aero comes with quite a lot of features and accessories right out of the box. It is probably one of the most feature rich boards at this price point and it\u2019s quite impressive. We will dive deeper into some of the items below but the BOTE Flood Aero kit comes with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3 piece adjustable paddle<\/li>\n<li>10\u201d removable Aero center fin<\/li>\n<li>1 pair of slide in Aero Rac receivers<\/li>\n<li>Aero repair kit<\/li>\n<li>Hand pump<\/li>\n<li>Travel bag<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That\u2019s quite a healthy list to start with and we only expect things to get better as new technology and features are trickled down.  For now though we can say this is a great overall kit and it makes the BOTE Flood Aero a fantastic all around board that can be tailored to your specific needs when paddling. <\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<h4>Paddle:<\/h4>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"side-by-side-images\">\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bote-Flood-Inflatable-SUP-Review-Paddle-Holder.jpg\" alt=\"Bote Flood Inflatable SUP Review Paddle Holder\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10701\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bote-Flood-Inflatable-SUP-Review-Paddle.jpg\" alt=\"Bote Flood Inflatable SUP Review Paddle\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10700\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This kit comes with a 3 piece fiberglass paddle with an ABS edged blade. It\u2019s fairly light and we particularly like how the blade is really designed to stand up to some rough abuse. The shaft has little or no twist due to the heavy duty clamps on both the top and bottom of the unit. The plastic handle is not quite as nice as others at this price point, but that\u2019s more of a subjective call than anything else. We like it\u2019s adjustability range from 66\u201d to 86\u201d and we feel that it would be able to accommodate most paddlers. Any larger and you would probably want to be using a larger board anyway. While it certainly is not the best kit paddle we see in the inflatable all around SUP category (we see you, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/nixy-newport-inflatable-sup-review\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Nixy Newport<\/a>) it is more than adequate for any kind of use this board will see. It\u2019s also extremely durable, which is very nice for beginner paddlers and for paddling in rocky areas.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<h4>Pump:<\/h4>\n<p><\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bote-Flood-Inflatable-SUP-Review-Single-Chamber-Pump.jpg\" alt=\"Bote Flood Inflatable SUP Review Single Chamber Pump\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10706\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The only place we really have an issue with this kit is in the included hand pump. While not the worst we have seen in kits it certainly leaves a lot to be desired. For starters it\u2019s a single chamber design. This was common 5 or more years ago as the standard for kit pumps. Nowadays, unfortunately most companies not in the budget sector are going with dual chamber designs. This also leads to another area of improvement. With the single chamber it\u2019s only possible to engage a 2 stage pump. When you have a dual chamber pump you get the ability to run a 3 stage pump. What does all this add up to? Not much, but we like to point out that smaller paddlers will have a difficult time reaching those last few PSI with the single chamber dual stage design. <\/p>\n<p>That is a good segway into our repeated talk on the value of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/best-electric-pumps-for-inflatable-sups\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">electric pumps for paddle boards<\/a>. BOTE has one, you should get it (especially if it\u2019s on sale!). But even if you don\u2019t get the BOTE brand one, you should still get one. Save your arms and lower back for the paddling trip ahead. Take the time you would normally spend manually inflating to put on some sunblock, pack your gear, anything really. The point is that everyone should have an electric pump by now. Seriously, you will thank us.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<h4>Bag:<\/h4>\n<p><\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bote-Flood-Inflatable-SUP-Review-Bag.jpg\" alt=\"Bote Flood Inflatable SUP Review Bag\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10705\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The material BOTE uses to make these bags seems almost like it should be in a science fiction movie. The best way I can describe it is sort of like a flexible plastic, that for all intents and purposes should be waterproof (like some of their available accessory bags). It has big easy to handle zippers for both the main compartment and the rear pocket. The handles and straps are all very thick and feel good in your hands or on your shoulders. They also included a nice back pad should you choose to wear this as a backpack. As mentioned it does have that one large exterior pocket, not quite big enough to hold the pump but still good for all the other accessories you might need. Speaking of the pump, we have a feeling that the set of looped bungies and bungee straps on one side of the bag are a perfect spot to store the pump, possibly a paddle, but we like putting the pump there. It also has the cinch straps on either side to compress the bag down, making it easier to handle and carry. All in all we really liked the bag.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<h4>Optional Accessories<\/h4>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ok, so this is where things really take off. In my opinion BOTE has been one of the industry&#8217;s leading designers of new technology and pieces that now seem standard on all iSUPs. Things like the original Tackle Rac have gone on to become industry standards when it comes to SUP fishing. And they haven\u2019t slowed down one bit since! Here are some of the wonderful accessories you can use to customize your BOTE for whatever journey you plan on having:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tackle Rac and Bucket Rac in various colors<\/li>\n<li>Travelink carry sling and Hitchhiker<\/li>\n<li>3\u201d and 6\u201d center fin replacements<\/li>\n<li>AeroPump auto electric pump<\/li>\n<li>Sandspears (for floating aimlessly in place)<\/li>\n<li>Various inflatable PFD options<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Again, this is just a small piece of all the accessories they offer. Not to mention some of the accessories that are probably soon to be included on iSUPs (MagnePod). BOTE also has an unbelievable list of inflatable docks, inflatable chairs, and their own brand of KULA coolers. You come for the paddle boards but you stay for the small navy of accessories!<\/p>\n<h2>Summary Review of the BOTE Flood Aero (2023 model)<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bote-Flood-Inflatable-SUP-Review-Carry-Handle.jpg\" alt=\"Bote Flood Inflatable SUP Review Carry Handle\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10705\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/BOTE-Flood-Aero\" class=\"large radius otw-button\" style=\"background-color: #3b5998;\" target=\"_blank\">Check Prices<\/a>\n<p>Wow, BOTE really makes some quality products and has the customer service department to back it up.
