Coming at you direct from the middle of nowhere to the center of everywhere, it’s the Beneath the Surface Podcast with BOTE CEO and Co-Founder, Corey Cooper, along with world-renowned photographer and BOTE Director of Photography, Sean Murphy. In the pilot episode, Corey and Sean take a walk down memory lane, taking you behind the scenes to introduce you to names, places, and inspiration behind the BOTE brand.

“We say it all the time. We design cool shit, for us.” - Corey Cooper, BOTE CEO and Co-Founder

More than a stand up paddle board company, BOTE is a lifestyle. For people who like to get outside and do cool shit. For people who appreciate design and quality. For people who invest in brands with soul.

The BOTE creative team is the driving force behind the brand you see on our website, in stores, in advertising, and everywhere else. Through wild adventures, shelved products that never made it to market, countless photoshoots, and exponential growth, it all goes back to who we are as a brand: we make cool shit, for us.

“We at BOTE understand what Sean Murphy brings to the table. Yes, he brings ridiculiously creative ideas and a barrage of insane imagery, but he also brings with him an infectious energy and a laugh that can only come from the kind of crazy that we here at BOTE celebrate. The past four years has been a roller coaster of bad-assery, and I like to think that as a creative team, we have developed one of the strongest, most recognizable brand in the industry. Sean Murphy is a huge part of that team. Here is to many years, road trips and radness to come.” – Rob McAbee / BOTE Creative Director
