Complete The Set Up
THE BOTE DEUS - A KAYAK AND SUP IN ONE
Can you buy a kayak and sup all-in-one? Yes, the inflatable Deus from Bote does just that.
The Bote Deus comes in at 11 ft in length, and 33in wide, which makes it super stable for both the kayak and SUP option.
The Deus is made of Botes AeroBOTE Technology and military grade PVC. This means the Deus can be inflated in just a matter of minutes and that it is also extremely light coming in at just 18 kgs. Why do you want a light inflatable kayak or SUP? Because you usually need to carry it from the home to the vehicle, and then again from the vehicle to the water's edge.
Deus Features - Along with the 11 ft hull, it comes with a travel bag, a removable center fin, removable foot bar, Aero repair kit, hand pump, and an inflatable seat deck. Everything you need to have a great time on the water!
How is it both a kayak and a SUP? The Bote deus is primarily a kayak, however, because the seating platform can be removed, it allows the paddler to be able to stand up on the deck. The deck is flat from nose to tail and so creates a great platform to stand up paddle board on. And it takes only a few seconds for the paddler to remove the seat to turn it from a kayak to a SUP.
HARDSHELL VS INFLATABLE?
Which is better? A hardshell kayak or an inflatable kayak? This mainly depends on a few things such as space, use, preference… read on!
Hardshell kayaks are better suited for more intensive adventures on the water, such as ocean or open water kayaking, and stand the test of time as they are extremely durable.
An inflatable kayak is more suited to recreational use, touring and fishing. Inflatable kayaks also tend to be wider, so they have great stability which is especially useful for fishing when you need to stand up to cast or reel a fish in.
The bonus with an inflatable kayak is that it packs down into something that can be stored in a wardrobe, which is great if perhaps you live in the city and are limited on storage space.
It can fit nicely in the boot of your car which makes it extremely easy to transport to and from the water. You can even check your inflatable kayak on a flight as hold luggage to take it with you on your travels!
BEST KAYAKS FOR BEGINNERS - WHY INFLATABLES ARE AWESOME
The best part about being a beginner paddler? The unlimited potential.
So, you’re wanting to break into the wonderful world of inflatable kayaking? Then you’ve come to the right place. We’ve asked BOTE about their killer lineup of versatile and velvety smooth (as they glide across the water) kayaks that are perfect for beginners.
They've taken the same principles applied to their paddleboard production (non-stop innovation, paddle-first optimisation, kickass design) and applied it to an awesome suite of inflatable kayaks.
