2017 BOTE Gatorshell 12' Classic

From the darkest shadows of BOTE's Darkroom, comes the HD Gatorshell - our toughest board yet in our most popular shape to date. We combined our most versatile paddling platform with our toughest construction methods to produce this masterpiece of design and innovation. Sporting the same design and standard features, the Gatorshell HD stands apart with its extremely durable outer shell, which is 6x stronger than our handcrafted epoxy boards and just as beautiful. So If your looking for a "one board for everything" that provides superior abrasion and impact resistance, then the HD Gatorshell is for you.

Classic style boards feature exotic wood inlays and the designs are a tribute to traditional maritime themes.

Features may include:

• Adjustable bungee straps allow quick and easy storage of extra gear.

• The convenience of having a place to stash your keys or hold your beer is undeniable. With the BOTE Stashpod, this special place now resides in your board.

• An accessory mounting system developed by the SUP Think Tank, ConnexSUP was inspired by the need for a simple solution to mounting an overwhelming number of new accessories being introduced into the marketplace.

• The B - logo texture is heat embossed, which is the process of heat stamping the grip texture directly onto the deck pad. This process seals the foam, eliminating water absorption, making the boards lighter and faster than with traditional deck pads.

• Completely redesigned to be the most comfortable grab handle found on any paddle board. No more numb fingers or weak leverage while transporting your board. Available in all late model rigid boards.

• Conveniently located cooler tie downs allow you to strap a cooler (or anything really) to the deck of your board keeping things secure when waters get rough.

• The Travelink SUP Carry System was designed to get you to your paddling spot more easily, comfortably and without 'dead arm' syndrome.

• Another industry first for BOTE, the Tackle Rac effortlessly slides into our compatible boards transforming them into personal expedition and angling watercraft.

• Adjustable bungee straps allow quick and easy storage of extra gear and are available on most of our board models.
