BOTE (https://www.boteboard.com), the longstanding leader of innovation in the paddle board, kayak, and water lifestyle space, today announces the launch of Vali Aero, an all-new series of ultralight inflatable kayaks.
The Vali Aero is the kayak designed for people who want to carry less and paddle more, and is ultralight, ultra-portable, and made to perform. From packing for a solo mission or loading up for two, there’s a Vali to match any need. The Vali Aero kayak comes in three sizes – 11 foot solo, 13 foot solo, and 15 foot tandem – to ensure paddlers have the right vessel for the right outing. BOTE enters the ultralight kayak category with its proprietary new AeroULTRAX™ construction – heat-welded TPU material designed to significantly reduce weight while maintaining durability and structural integrity. The Vali Aero starts at a mere 16.5 pounds and tops at 23 pounds inflated, making these kayaks among the most portable and capable in the category and a perfect choice for enthusiasts.
Each Vali Aero kayak packs down into a compact travel backpack for ease of transport and storage. Once unpacked, the Vali Aero kayaks inflate in minutes using standard high-pressure hand or electric pumps, making it easy to get out and paddle in a variety of environments, from a nearby river to a hike up to an alpine lake.
The Vali Aero line includes ample storage, a tough TPU/nylon skin, padded seating, and adjustable footrests for dialed ergonomics and comfort during extended paddling sessions. The Vali Aero is also compatible with BOTE’s popular MAGNEPOD™ accessory system, a magnetic retention technology that secures compatible drinkware and gear to the deck surface, providing added utility without compromising deck space or stability.
“Since day one BOTE’s mission has been to make products that Stand Apart through innovation, performance, and style. The Vali Aero is the latest evolution in our range of kayaks, paddle boards, floats and accessories that make unforgettable moments on, in, and around the water,” said Zack Eckert, General Manager, BOTE. “The Vali Aero Kayak brings new technology in the ultralight AeroULTRAX construction, our patent pending MAGNEPOD system, and the most portable and stowable watercraft in our quiver.”
The new Vali Aero kayaks are available today at boteboard.com and in select retailers.
