For a solid paddle board… Based on their different hull designs, the BOTE Flood offers better maneuverability and is perfect for paddle board surfing. The BOTE HD is the more versatile option and a favorite for things like paddle board fishing. The HD Aero has been a great paddle board.

Love the ability to travel cross country with it and be ready for the water within minutes of arriving.
