About Bote Board

BOTE was founded in Destin, FL by Corey and Magda Cooper, with the purpose of reshaping the standup paddle board industry from what was largely identified as surfing offshoot to a distinct culture built on conceptually simple, aesthetically pleasing and functionally innovative products that would appeal to people from all walks of life. The company has rapidly redefined the industry through the delivery of a distinguished brand built on a distinct mission; “To stand apart through industry-shaping innovation, fresh ideas and simplicity to create a product that defines a lifestyle.” Although still rooted in the stand-up paddle board industry, BOTE has expanded into kayaks, skiffs, and much more. BOTE now makes pretty much everything but the water while staying true to our mission to innovate and stand apart.
