BOTE Flow Aero 8’ Native Stripes - Review 2025
Where to buy BOTE Flow Aero 8’ Native Stripes:
Perhaps the most widely available board on our list, the Flow Aero 8’ Native Stripes Kids iSUP is a popular kids option. It may be in stock on Amazon, REI Co-op, and even your local store.
BOTE seems to rely on this to help inform new customers about the board’s performance and other details. The website is barebones and requires some digging for information about the mandatory registration process for the 2-year warranty, as well as their return policy’s 20 percent restocking fee (ouch).
Hopefully, returns and warranties won’t be necessary. Durability is one of its strong suits. It’s a simple, sturdy board for distraction free skill-building. We love the extended deck for increased traction and comfort when kids try SUP yoga or practice pivot turns.
This basic arrangement works, but DOES NOT INCLUDE a leash. Not even a d-ring at the tail, so leash placement may be awkward to get used to. Work through this before your youngsters embark. While leash shopping, browse paddles, too. The included aluminum/nylon paddle is heavy, clunky, and sinks
