Now let's address some common FAQs:
Anyone have any tips for folding it back into the bag? I have fully deflated mine and can’t get it back in.
Make your life easier and get a rechargeable SUP pump... use it when you deflate too and then there is no need for others to help you pack up. When the pump is deflating the craft you can go around and dry it off and position it to flatten neatly for a smooth full deflation. With the pump is sucking out every bit of air the SUP folds easier and fit back into the bag easier... especially when it is dried off well... and then it doesn't mold in the bag. The process goes faster and people are not waiting for you as long to pack up your gear.

How does it handle dogs? My dog has long nail beds...
The deck is reinforced with an extra pad layer about 1/8" thick, but to be safe I would put booties on him.
Can this kayak be used in the ocean if it's a mild coastal area (e.g. ocean partially shielded by a marina)? Thank you!
Sure can, very stable. But ALWAYS, ALWAYS wear a life jacket.
I ordered one last year July 2020 and it was used a couple of times, but it now leaks air around where I pump it up. How can I get it fixed or replaced? Contact info?Check the valve setting and tighten it with the included tool if needed. It is a simple fix. Contact Bote tech support for more information on this.
