14' Ahab Native Fishing Stand-Up Paddleboard

500-pound capacity. That's right. A quarter ton! You can fully deck out this fishing SUP and still bring back that monster catch!

The BOTE 14' Ahab Native Fishing SUP. Part fishing platform. Part racing hull. All-in adventure. Legendary stability, speed and versatility. Here in its Native form that's unique, personal and cool. An artistic paint scheme, combined with durable construction, makes this board not only visually appealing, but also incredibly light. Unrelenting in pursuit of the ultimate fishing experience, the Ahab has not just raised the bar. It is the bar.

Hull

The Ahab Native features a fiberglass shell with an expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam core formed into a racing style displacement hull that can be outfitted with literally everything you'll need for several days out on the water. With its racing pedigree, this board will get you quickly across the lake so you can get to your favorite spot before tournament competitors have barely left the dock.

Deck

The large, flat deck makes a sturdy platform for aggressive paddling, plus casting, fighting and landing trophy fish. The deck of the Ahab features more...features...than a lot of standard fishing boats. It's as though the designers at BOTE couldn't say no to including everything you wanted on your fishing SUP.

Built-In Features

Starting at the nose, there's a Paddle Sheath™ that conveniently holds your paddle upright and ready to grab so you can head to where those sea birds found a baitfish ball and started their feeding frenzy.

Next, there's an integrated bungee strapping system that keeps your dry bag (sold separately) and other essentials on your board and not in the drink.

As you make your way onto the recessed deck you'll find it covered with a texture that is heat embossed onto the surface of the foam, not only providing incredible grip and comfort, but eliminating water absorption, making the board lighter and faster than traditional deck pads.

Next up is the first of two thru-holes. Thru-holes are openings from the deck through to the bottom of the board. By utilizing a “stake” or shallow water anchor pole thrust into the mud or sand, your board can stay anchored in place. They also make a great place to snake a cable through so you can lock up your Ahab and prevent unauthorized joy rides.

Speaking of drink, the next feature you'll wonder how you ever did without is the Stashpod. Watertight storage, an integrated bottle opener and a place to keep your favorite beverage from tipping over makes the Stashpod a popular amenity.

Next, receivers for BOTE's unique Tackle Rac (sold separately) that can turn your Ahab into a skiff are positioned so you can place it in front or behind your paddling position.

Cooler tiedowns are added that feature a swivel action to allow the strap angle to adjust for optimum pressure distribution (you don't want your Yeti [sold separately] floating off full of your favorite beverages).

You'll find the centrally located grab handle has been designed to ensure your fingers won't go numb and you'll have plenty of leverage to carry your board to the water.

Integrated latch points in the rail of the board are part of BOTE's patent pending Travelink™ Carry System. By simply clicking in the Travelink™ Sling (sold separately) to the latch points, you can remove all weight from your hands and carry the board more safely and ergonomically with your shoulders and back. The best part is it's permanently flush mounted into the rails—when you aren’t using it, you won't notice it. There is zero effect on the paddling dynamics. The Travelink latch points can also be used to lock and secure your board.

Another bungee tiedown is found at the rear deck pad for yet more storage options and finally the all-important leash attachment point so you won't be separated from your Ahab for long.

Underneath is a stabilizer fin that helps your Ahab track straight on flatwater excursions.

Volume

The displacement hull and 34" wide beam of the Ahab is designed for maximum capacity and stability. Rated at 500 pounds, this board will haul you, your gear and your catch on many an epic adventure!
