2017 BOTE Rackham 12' Bug Slinger

The 12' Rackham is the most versatile paddle board we have ever offered. Featuring displacement hull technology, the Rackham paddles effortlessly. The recessed standing platform and thick bow keep the paddler and gear high and dry...And speaking of gear, the 12' Rackham sports a capacity of 400 pounds. Stow your paddle in the Paddle Sheath, your fishing rods and tackle in a Tackle or Bucket Rac, and stake out via two thru holesone of which is Power Pole Micro compatible. Just as Captain Jack Rackham defined the pirate with his "Joly Roger" flag, the BOTE Rackham will define the waterman's SUP for years to come.

Bug Slinger styles showcase aggressive fishing themed graphics and feature through-holes which can be used to anchor your board using a stake-out pole.

Features may include:

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

• Located in the bow of the board, the Paddle Sheath allows the paddler to insert the blade end of the paddle into the slot, freeing up the hands for other activities. The Paddle Sheath allows the user to adjust the paddle in the slot at multiple angles and infinite left to right adjustments.

• 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.

• Stakeout holes are integrated into select bote boards. These thru-holes are openings from the deck through to the bottom of the board. By utilizing a stake into the mud or sand, your board can stay anchored in place.

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