I was a bit nervous to order this board bc I thought it was a beginners board and was going to be too big/slow. But it's amazing! I'm a pretty advanced paddler but love going on backpackin/camping paddling adventures and this board is absolutely perfect! It holds all my gear super easy, and can totally handle more! It goes way faster than my old board which I'm SO happy about! I initially had some air bubbles in the foam, but those went away after 24 hours and never came back. Stable enough for yoga, fast enough for speedy island hopping and handles waves awesome! I'm getting the Kula 2.5 to bring for camping (had the 5, but rather want the 2.5). If your a beginner or not, get this board! You'll love it!

Called customer service and ordered over the phone. The team at Bote is great as always and the board shipped out within a day or two. It is a beautiful board and has a fantastic price point. As a Canadian family living in Georgia for a few years, we have really gotten into Bote life down in Florida. We bought this 10'6" Breeze Gatorshell to compliment our 12' Flood so we can all hit the water together! The boards are built well and will log many kms when we head back up to the Great White North! Thanks Bote.
