OUR #1 HOLIDAY GIFT FOR 2021 Limited Edition Rackham Aero 11′ No Quarter For the person who has literally everything, we can guarantee they don’t have this. Introducing the NO QUARTER Rackham 11’. The Rackham 11’ is an all-new, just-released board that takes the feature richness and stability of the original Rackham and shrinks it down to an 11’ length, making it easier to manage and transport. To celebrate the introduction of this new product, we went full-BOTE and made a limited edition version: The NO QUARTER. Drawing inspiration from the legend of Calico Jack, otherwise known as Jack Rackham (see where the board got its name?), this board has a “Burn the Ships”, weathered plank motif along with our iconic pirate flag Rackham logo and even a red wax stamp graphic to seal the deal. Pair it with a matching limited edition Rackham Red KULA (with a MAGNEPOD™ on the lid for the very first time), a Rackham Red MAGNEKoozie, and some Rackham Red Ale, and you’ll have a gift set that will please even the most picky of seafarers. Take a deeper dive into one man’s lifelong journey… BOTE Presents // No Quarter. #WINNING FAMILY-FRIENDLY GIFTS Our fleet of SUPs, kayaks, and inflatable docks may seem highly technical on the surface (spoiler alert: they are), but many of the products in our fleet are incredibly family-friendly, perfect for recreationalists, and ideal for those in search of versatile gift options. Just ask BOTE co-founder and mom of three, Magda Cooper. “WE TRY NOT TO GO OVERBOARD WITH HOLIDAY GIFTS THAT THE FAMILY OR ONE OF OUR KIDS WILL QUICKLY OUTGROW. INSTEAD, WE INVEST IN GIFTS ONE KID CAN PASS ON TO THE NEXT, OR WE CAN ALL USE AS A FAMILY. FOR EXAMPLE, OUR OLDEST IS NOW 12. HE’S PASSED ON HIS FLOW AERO TO HIS YOUNGER SISTER AND LOVES TO USE HIS FLOOD AERO ON HIS OWN OR WITH FRIENDS. PLUS, INFLATABLE PRODUCTS OFFER PEACE OF MIND TO PARENTS OF EVEN THE WILDEST KIDS. THEY’RE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO BREAK AND IN THE WORST CASES CAN USUALLY BE PATCHED UP BEFORE THEY’RE PASSED ON." - MAGDA COOPER, BOTE CO-FOUNDER TOP 3 FAMILY-FRIENDLY GIFTS 1.
