BOTE (https://www.boteboard.com), the industry leader in innovative paddle craft and water lifestyle gear, today announces the launch of the Koda Aero Inflatable Kayak, a sleek, stable sit-in kayak built for recreation and light exploration. Compact, lightweight, and quick to set up, the Koda delivers confidence and comfort for paddlers of all skill levels.
Built with BOTE’s proven AeroUltra Construction, the Koda Aero is available in 12’ Solo and 14’ Tandem models, featuring a Shallow-V hull and three-chamber design that enhances tracking, rigidity, and safety, and holds a Class I–II river rating suitable for calm lakes, coastal waters, and gentle rivers. The sit-in design enhances control and security, while comfort-forward details, including BOTE’s Softy™ neoprene seat, adjustable padded footrests, and EVA deck pad support longer days on the water. Front and rear splash guards help keep the cockpit drier, and integrated scupper drains allow water to be drained efficiently.
The Koda Aero kayak is compatible with BOTE’s ecosystem of accessories, including MAGNEPOD™, KULA coolers, and other grab-and-go essentials, allowing paddlers to customize their setup with ease.
“With Koda, our goal was to make getting on the water as simple and intuitive as possible,” said Zack Eckert, General Manager, BOTE. “From the lightweight AeroUltra construction to the sit-in design and integrated comfort features, every detail was engineered to remove friction and help paddlers focus on the experience.”
The new Koda Aero kayaks are available today at boteboard.com and in select retailers.
