Influenced by their deep ties to water, Magda, a three-time collegiate National Champion swimmer, and her partner Corey, a lifelong water enthusiast, relocated to Destin, FL. Drawn to its distinct water-focused culture, they sought a better paddleboard design, one that balanced stability, functionality, and style. Departing from successful careers, they founded "BOTE" with limited funds but boundless determination. Crafting boards that embody a lifestyle, they built a nationwide brand known for innovative design, simplicity, and quality. BOTE isn't just a business; it's their life's work, guided by a mission to redefine standards and stand apart in the industry.
